Works by Jeremiah Ariaz, associate professor of photography at the LSU School of Art, are featured in the exhibition, Promised Land, at the Acadiana Center for the Arts in Lafayette, Louisiana, February 14–May 14, 2016.

Promised Land explores how one’s perception of “home” shapes our personal vision of the world. The various artists included in the exhibition use different mechanisms of storytelling—identity, opportunity, family, security, prosperity—which are in turn contrasted with potential vulnerability and loss.
