Rethinking Identity: How Travel Shapes Us

Rethinking Identity: How Travel Shapes Us

Presented by Utah Valley University School of the Arts at Noorda Center for the Performing Arts

From December 16-19, 2022, students and faculty members from the UVU Art and Design Department traveled to Los Angeles, CA to study artwork by modern and contemporary artists in museum collections and sculpture parks. As a group we specifically visited the American Museum of Ceramic Art, The Getty Center, LACMA, Broad, Norton Simon, LA MOCAs, Hammer Museum, and the Franklin D Murphy Sculpture Garden. Each person was challenged to look at the variety of ways that artists addressed and challenged notions of identity both individually and culturally. Upon return all were asked to complete some guided readings and reflect on their experience. The work presented in this exhibition was created to express how everyone involved interpreted the interplay of travel and identity. The opening reception is on Thursday, March 16 from 5-7 p.m.
