Investigative journalist and interdisciplinary artist Wesaam Al-Badry will take visitors on a visually narrative journey through his exhibition The Labor of Belonging. This exhibition is currently on view through September 21st, 2025.
Al-Badry arrived in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1994 at age eleven after he and his family fled their home at the start of the First Gulf War (1990-1991), also known as Desert Storm. Before relocating to Lincoln, Al-Badry’s family spent four years in a refugee camp in Saudi Arabia, where he first experimented with a camera. Documenting what was happening around him helped him process the experience.
