Wesaam Al-Badry: The Labor of Belonging

Wesaam Al-Badry: The Labor of Belonging

May 3-September 21, 2025

For his first solo museum exhibition, Wesaam Al-Badry presents a new photography project of Nebraskans. The project aims to consider place as a component of human identity while celebrating survival, beauty, and belonging. This exhibition includes a selection of twenty photographs from a project Al-Badry began in 2024 to reflect the vibrant culture of his adopted home. What has emerged is a portrait of Nebraska that is familiar, surprising, and unabashedly authentic.
