HALLIE MAXWELL


Hallie Maxwell is a ceramic figurative sculptor from Idaho and currently resides in Meridian. She has studied the human form through models intensely at California Lutheran University. Through her art, she explores the shared human conditions of love and suffering by creating emotional human forms that are both realistic and abstract. A majority of the figures Maxwell creates are from her imagination. Maxwell’s grandparents and great grandmother are survivors of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. This tragic event is a common theme in her work. Her passion for Japanese American history extends beyond her artworks. She has written the essay “Art in the Japanese Internment Camps”, for which she was an award winner of the Dibble Living Trust Art History Essay Competition, and guest lectures on the subject at California Lutheran University.

LUMA JASIM


Luma Jasim is an interdisciplinary Iraqi-born artist based in Brooklyn, NY, and Boise, ID. Luma has lived through three wars, an economic blockade, and the catastrophe of the US invasion, and later, her immigration to the US. Luma's multi-media body of work explores the relationship between violence, politics, gender, and emotional memory. Jasim left Iraq in 2006, three years after the invasion. First, she moved to Istanbul, Turkey, and two years later, she immigrated to the United States. Since then, Jasim's art deals with war, violence, and her immigration and acculturation experience, which rose from that. In her artwork, she uses the personal to address the political and activate the viewer's curiosity. Luma often reconstructs her memories, traumas, and thoughts on displacement, belonging, and strangeness in various mediums, including mixed media painting, performance, video, and animation.
In 2013, she received her second BFA in Visual Arts from Boise State University, Boise, ID, and in 2017, she accomplished an MFA in Fine Arts with full scholarship from Parsons School of Design, The New School, New York, NY.
Jasim has completed many artist residencies and fellowships, including the MDOCS Storytellers' Institute fellowship in Skidmore College in Saratoga Spring, NY (2019), Yaddo Residency in Saratoga Spring, NY (2018) Surel's Place Residency in Boise, ID (2018), The MASS MoCA Residency in North Adams, MA (2017), and The AAF (The American Austrian Foundation)/ Seebacher Prize for Fine Arts, Summer Academy in Hohensalzburg Fortress, Austria (2017). In 2018 her work "Frozen Roots" was Shortlisted for The Tenth Passion For Freedom London Arts Festival, London, UK. In 2020, Luma received the Juror merit award for the 2020 Idaho Triennial, Boise Art Museum. Most recently she was awarded a 2021 Alexa Rose Fellow.


Luma's work has been shown nationally and internationally.

Narges Shams


Narges Shams was born in 1990 in Kabul, Afghanistan. She began drawing as a child while living in Iran and Turkey. After her family immigrated to the United States in 2003, she took art classes in high school and college where she discovered her passion for ceramics, acrylic painting, and graphic design. She is currently double-majoring in visual arts and graphic design at Boise State University.


Narges creates art primarily with colors that are reminiscent of her country, Afghanistan. The yellow colors of the Afghan desert can be found in both paintings and ceramic sculptures. Although Narges has lived largely in the diaspora, every aspect of her artwork is influenced by Afghanistan. She references her roots by weaving references to Afghanistan’s colors, stories, culture, history, monuments, and current events into her art.

The Idaho Museum of International Diaspora (IMID) in partnership with the Idaho Black History Museum(IBHM) presents



A Home for Us All
Where: Idaho Black History Museum
508 Julia Davis Dr.
Boise, Idaho 82702
Opening: January 9, 2022 3PM-6PM
Exhibit goes through January 17, 2022.
A Home for Us All brings together the work of three artists--two of whom immigrated to the United States (from Afghanistan and Iraq), along with the works of a current MFA candidate at Boise State University from the Japanese diaspora.


Finding a new home in Boise is the common thread uniting all four artists.
Narges and Homeyra Shams immigrated with their family from Afghanistan to the United States in search of safety, opportunity, and education.
Homeyra Shams’ work explores ideas of home through her paintings of her late father by using materials such as car doors to pay homage to his work as a car mechanic and her paintings of stories her father had told her. Narges Shams’ paintings of Bamian and other places in Afghanistan using the colors of the Afghan desert evoke ideas of a home that now lives through memory and stories.


Luma Jasim immigrated to the United States from Iraq to escape the violent place her home had become. Her paintings are intersections of ancient, cultural, and current homes. Through layering, she brings forth partially obscured imagery. The images live forever in a flux of emergence and disappearing.


Hallie Maxwell, a descendent of survivors of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, explores her Japanese American roots through her sculptural work.
A HOME FOR US ALL will be the first museum exhibition at IBHM in 2022 and the first time the IMID will be exhibiting in this space. The exhibition will serve as a sample of what the IMID will bring to the community when it is finished being built in Boise.
