When people first see the film INOCENTE, they meet and fall in love with the 15 year old version of the artist — homeless, confused, determined, hopeful, and hurt. But today, Inocente is 23 years old, just married, looking to purchase a new home, “something I never thought I’d be doing, let alone so early in life,” Inocente says. “I want this exhibition to be about hope and home, about hoping to finally find a permanent home with permanent people, a place to call my home.”

Made possible by the Central Indiana Alliance Against Hate and The Clowes Fund Inc. Held in partnership with Heartland Film, who screened the Oscar winning documentary Inocente in 2016, CHIP Indianapolis and Immigrant Welcome Center. The exhibition will be housed in the Listen Hear gallery at 2620 Shelby St, and will contain some of Inocente’s most recent work. The artist will be present on First Friday and available to answer questions.
