About the Gallery
Patel Brown highlights alternative perspectives and encourages experimentation and innovation in both its programming and operations. Identifying gaps in representation and opportunities guided by collaboration and community; the gallery’s program looks to traditions in culture and identity, and how they are increasingly challenged by the globalized world.

About the Presentation
Laïla Mestari will make her New York debut in a solo presentation with Patel Brown, a first-time exhibitor at Independent. Mestari’s work confronts the complexities of migration, belonging, and self-invention with sharp wit and tactile intimacy. Through sculpture, collage, and drawing, she reveals identity as an active negotiation, spliced from memory, displacement, desire, and the daily labor of inhabiting more than one world at once.
