I AM American Exhibition, curated by Sergio Gomez, explores the meaning of being “American”. Using a variety of styles, visual forms, symbols and metaphors, each work provides a wide angle view into the bi-cultural experience.
I AM American Exhibition is not a single perspective on immigration or ethnicity. Instead, using a variety of styles, visual forms, symbols and metaphors, each work provides a wide angle view into the bi-cultural experience. Some of the artists are first, second or third generation immigrants. Others, can trace their heritage back to the Native American Indians. In that sense, this non-literal exhibition on the American experience provides the viewer with ample room for conversation and personal interpretation. Some works directly approach the theme of identity while others delve on other subjects related to the American experience. Ultimately, this exhibit explores the meaning of being “American”.
Exhibit is curated by Sergio Gomez, professional artist & Director of the Zhou B Center in Chicago.
