• Fragments of Who We Are — Fragments of Who We Are brings together artworks that explore how race and gender shape the way people are seen. Instead of treating identity as something fixed, the exhibition looks at how skin color, the gaze, femininity, Blackness, queerness, and performance become the fragments that build and sometimes limit who we appear to be. Some works reveal how stereotypes reduce people to partial images, while others reclaim self‑representation as a form of power. Drawing on ideas from Stuart Hall and Judith Butler, the exhibition shows identity as something constructed, performed, and constantly negotiated through the ways we are represented by ourselves and by others.
