This is My Identity
With Forrest Fleur, Nikki Silva, Jonathan Izzard, Isola Murray Meg Halpin, J Rowen O’Dwyer, Rachel Silva, Hue Duon
“This Is My Identity” is an invitation to examine identity as something lived, layered, and continually unfolding. Identity is not singular or static. It is shaped by ancestry, geography, language, memory, community, migration, love, resistance, and survival. It is inherited and chosen. It is visible and unseen. It is shaped by systems and reclaimed through self-definition.
This exhibition centers artists whose work speaks to the complexities of being particularly within LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. We are interested in work that explores how identity is carried in the body, expressed through culture, negotiated in public space, and transformed over time.
Identity can be joyful. It can be political. It can be fractured, healed, concealed, protected, celebrated, or in transition. We welcome work that reflects the realities of identity at intersections of race, gender, sexuality, spirituality, class, disability, immigration status, language, family, and more.
