ACOMPI and NARS Foundation are pleased to present Transient Grounds, an exhibition that houses the histories embedded and preserved by immigrant, first-generation, and borderland artists whose work counters the gradual forces of cultural erosion. Sited within architectural and emotional fragments of a former home in Governors Island’s Nolan Park, the works unravel experiences and psychologies of hybridity, double-consciousness, memory, and belonging. They reclaim identities against the historic and persisting realities of colonialism, militance, and environmental crises of the Island and the United States at large.

About ACOMPI:

Founded by Constanza Valenzuela and Jack Radley, ACOMPI is a global curatorial project based in New York City. ACOMPI derives from the Spanish word “acompañado,” meaning “in company”, highlighting community, interdisciplinary practice, and collaboration. ACOMPI serves as a youth-oriented, community-ingrained platform to highlight and expand the intersection of independent curatorial practice and site-specific public engagement.
