Anne Reid ’72 Gallery at Princeton Day School presents Visitor Center, an exhibition by Brooklyn-based artist Sunny Leerasanthanah. Leerasanthanah will transform the gallery through installation and projected film in a new iteration of an on-going project exploring immigration in the United States through the lens of narratives surrounding the National Park and invasive species. In their film Certain Aliens (2023), originally commissioned by the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and on loan for this exhibition, “...three actors role-play as American National Park Service rangers and respond to prompts about invasive species. The improvisational performances deconstruct xenophobic ideas and language, using satire as a guiding tool to explore lived experiences and belonging.”1 Alongside their film, the artist employs found objects, text, and visuals from news articles, government documents, the National Park Service, and writings by theorists, historians, and scientists to examine attitudes towards invasive species and fraught intersections between nature and culture. Leerasanthanah’s art is inspired by their own experience of assimilation as an immigrant to the United States.
