The Foreigner’s Home
- 2PM
“Who is the foreigner?” So asked Toni Morrison in The Foreigner’s Home, her 2006 exhibition at the Louvre. Through extensive archival footage, animation, and exclusive interviews with Morrison, this inventive documentary expands that conversation. Produced by the late Jonathan Demme, The Foreigner’s Home is a provocative and timely meditation on some of humanity’s oldest divisions, exploring Morrison’s artistic and intellectual vision through a series of candid exchanges about race, identity, immigration, “foreignness,” and art’s redemptive power.
