Denison Museum: "Portraying Identity" Exhibition Guide

Published on Aug 29, 2024

Denison University

Explore the intricate portrayals of identity in our fall exhibitions, where art serves as a mirror reflecting both self-perception and the way we view others. Featuring works from renowned and unknown artists alike, these paintings, prints, photographs, and sculptures capture a diverse range of subjects—rich and poor, young and old—each telling a unique story. As you engage with each piece, consider not only the identity of the sitter but also how these works resonate with your own experiences and the shared humanity we all possess. Through these powerful depictions, connect with both the individual stories presented and the broader dialogue on how we relate to ourselves and others.
