Identity
What comes to mind when you think of your identity or identities? Do you think about them often, or hardly at all? Our identities can play a huge role in shaping our lives. Which identities we are born into, those we grow into, take on, or deny can determine who we are and how we move through the world. This exhibition invites artists of every background, ethnicity, sexual orientation, culture, age, ancestry, and community to examine and discuss their identities through their art. The purpose of the show is to illustrate and celebrate the many identities that make up our immediate, national, and global communities.
If your work does not deal directly with the theme ( abstract, for example), that’s fine, as your identity can affect the lens through which you create, but please be willing to share about that identity and what drew you to the show.
Nudity is fine, but No Hate speech or pornographic material will be accepted
Through partnership with No Divide KC, the show will also include a selection of art and programming from the 2024 Queer Narratives Festival, an annual celebration of LGBTQ+ performing and visual artists.
