Transformations: Art, Identity, Ideology (Remote Anniversary Series)
Monday, April 20, 2020
About this Event
Free EventJust because we are all isolating at home does not mean that we can't still connect with the humanities. Join us as we relive some of the DePaul Humanities Center's great events from years gone by with our Remote Anniversary Series.
On this day three years ago, the DePaul Humanities Center welcomed speakers to discuss the connection between art, identity, and ideology. When the dominant structures of cultural power overwhelm, allowing full subjectivity only for some, the expression of one’s identity—including race, gender, ethnicity, and class—is often possible only through art. By appropriating and re-purposing those dominant markers and ideologies, art can remind us that nothing is as fixed as we might like to believe. Join us for an evening that explores the ways in which Native/tribal identity emerges by confronting and usurping corporate logos, racial identity and history proves amorphous through music (including a live performance of Abbey Lincoln's music by famed Chicago artist Maggie Brown), and a hacking of IKEA furniture questions modernist philosophy, economics, and globalism.
