“Dreams Deferred: Artists Respond to Immigration Reform” is an exhibit currently being displayed for free at the The Chinese American Museum. The exhibit was created through a partnership with Chinese American Museum and El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. If you are in Los Angeles, you can check out this exhibit before it ends on May 11, 2011.

This exhibition will showcase local artists exploring the tensions, repercussions, hopes, and dreams of immigrant communities in the face of new immigration legislation, through a broad spectrum of art including street art, graffiti art, sculptures, painting and multimedia installations.
 
Dreams Deferred continues the current national dialogue about immigration, kicked-off by the recent opening of CAM’s Remembering Angel Island, an exhibition commemorating the 100th year anniversary of the opening of the West Coast’s first immigration station. Both exhibitions will serve to shed light on the parallels of past and current immigration policies and reform, and how Los Angeles’ diverse immigrant communities collectively share not only their immigrant histories, but also many of the challenges facing new immigrant communities today.
