Two exhibitions now on display at Chattanooga’s Hunter Museum of American Art offer international perspectives on art - along with a critique on how those perspectives are shaped and reshaped, perceived and misperceived, over time.

Nandini Makrandi is the Hunter’s chief curator - and Natalie Mault Mead is its associate curator.
