THE IDENTITY SERIES

The 2014/2015 VISITING ARTIST, SCHOLAR, + DESIGNER PROGRAM series

Over the 2014-2015 academic year, the Program’s visiting artist series is investigating the ways creative thinkers are presenting, challenging, and manipulating identities in art, design, and culture.

Examining identity is pertinent in many facets of contemporary life including the incessant development and intimate integration of technology into daily life, the ease of travel and relocation, the changing recognition and validation of nontraditional gender roles and sexuality, the shifting perceptions of race, ethnicity, and immigration, and the increasingly normative occurrence of holding several different careers in a lifetime.

By surveying a section of creative viewpoints on this subject, this lecture series explores various manifestations of today’s protean self.
