Identity is a theme that runs through many exhibitions in 2017. Reflections On Identity draws from the Two Rivers Gallery Permanent Collection to explore how language, culture, place, history and the body can influence one’s sense of self. Drawing from a small collection of 400 artworks means that there are limitations concerning the depth at which this complex topic can be explored. Reflections On Identity thus aims to tease out a few notions relating to this complex topic and invites the viewer to consider which factors serve as markers of identity within themselves.
