In presenting a broad range of artistic approaches, I am you, you are too draws out timely questions of gender, race, sexual orientation, national identity, shifting political borders, and international and intercultural dialogue. Using works from the Walker’s collections, the exhibition explores contemporary life through themes of citizenship and belonging, borders and barriers, and ways in which everyday life informs our understanding of ourselves. Bringing together a diverse, multigenerational, and international group of artists, the exhibition questions how we memorialize the past and understand the social, geographic, and political structures that shape us. The show’s title is taken from I M U U R 2 (2013), a room-scaled installation by Danh Vo’s that brings together artist Martin Wong’s objects and examines how collected objects, such as knickknacks and souvenirs, can communicate who we are.

Curators: Vincenzo de Bellis, Adrienne Edwards, Pavel Pyś
