Exhibition features immigrant life themes

The presentation gathers nineteen of the artist's greatest works to explore human connection and belonging. Toor centers his queer brown protagonists on narratives about immigration, desire, and power. These fictional characters are rooted in the artist's own memories.

Show runs until January 2027

The exhibition remains open to the public until January 10, 2027. Critics note that the works inhabit the tension between intimacy and exposure. The display offers a portrait of immigrant life and the desire to belong.
