CLG is an artist group exploring the complexities of identity in a world where the movement of people, products, money, and ideologies has become fluid. The collective comes together to collaborate on projects that speak to common research interests around transnationalism, migration, and diasporas. These projects use the artists’ personal experiences as individuals who are marginalized by language, gender, and race to define and share the range of aggressions (micro and macro) their communities live with from day-to-day.
