The Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University hosts free-to-the-public exhibitions inviting a journey across multiple centuries and continents titled “The Otherworld is Home”. Inspired by the Yorùbá proverb, “Life is a journey, the otherworld is home” (ayé l’àjò, ọ̀run n’ilé), the museum-wide presentation explores themes of personal reclamation, cultural identity, spiritual passage, and connection across Africa’s many diasporas. Three simultaneous exhibitions—"African Art: Ancient Roots, Enduring Values”; “Iké Udé: Sartorial Anarchy”; and “Thresholds”—offer opportunities to explore the enduring resonance of African artistic traditions and their continued influence on contemporary life.
