In partnership with BLACK WORLD CINEMA, we are pleased to present the documentary THE FOREIGNER’S HOME.

THE FOREIGNER’S HOME is a feature-length documentary film that explores the vision and work of Toni Morrison through “The Foreigner’s Home,” the 2006 exhibition she guest-curated at the Louvre. Morrison invited renowned artists whose work also deals with the experience of cultural and social displacement to join her in a public conversation that she had been pursuing for years through her own research and writing and in her teaching at Princeton University. The film expands that conversation, combining exclusive and unreleased footage of the Nobel Laureate in dialogue with artists—first, in Paris in 2006 and then, in 2015, at her home in New York state—with extensive archival film footage, music, and still images to present a series of candid and incisive exchanges about race, identity, “foreignness,” and art’s redemptive power.

Produced/Directed by Rian Brown and Geoff Pingree, USA, 2018, 55 mins.

“‘The Foreigner’s Home’ is unique in its focus on Ms. Morrison’s curated exhibition at The Louvre. Ms. Morrison’s analysis of what it means to be labeled “foreign” within one’s own nation of birth and abroad speaks profoundly to current debates on citizenship, making clear the relevance of this issue for Black people in the U.S. and abroad.” — Meredith Miranda Gadsby Peterson, Associate Professor of Africana Studies, Oberlin College, President, Association of Caribbean Women Writers and Scholars
