Taking Up Space:
Forming Body and Identity
The formation of identity is a continuous and fluid reshaping of the self. Through the works of various contemporary American artists, Taking Up Space explores the physical and emotional relationships they have with their bodies, and the ways in which public expression of identity shapes lived experience.
