Opening Celebration

Sunday, June 22, 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

Americans strongly value their civil liberties—among them the freedom of assembly, the freedom of speech, and the right to privacy. The contemporary artists whose works are represented in this series of exhibitions exercise their civil liberties to address topics of personal import. They have created garments, installation works, sculptures, performances, and videos that present various perspectives on personal and public identity, labor issues, stereotyping, confiscation, surveillance, and more.
