Examining the work of artists like Tania Bruguera, Arshile Gorky, and Mona Hatoum, \u003ci\u003eLook Again: Strangers\u003c\/i\u003e challenges this narrative. It sidesteps the dehumanizing language in political depictions of migrants, offering a deeper insight into the struggles and humanity of these strangers.
