Curator’s Statement:

Identity is not just physical. It defines you as a person. Identity is the product of lived experiences and is unique to everyone. Waves of sadness, happiness, and isolation are illustrated to tell a story about how an individual feels at a certain moment. This exhibition aims to showcase the many different identities within the NDMU community.   

Who are we? is curated by the students in Art-330; Theory and Criticism of Contemporary Art. After learning about the history of the curatorial process, students put out an open call to gather artworks from the NDMU community. They hope to portray both the unique identities along with the collective identity of NDMU. While you absorb this exhibition, we invite you to think about how your own identity may fit in with or differentiate from the identities portrayed.
