About "Hyphen American: Intersections of Identity" 

How does an artist's work reflect the American experience? And in what ways does "Americanness" reveal itself through art in the presence of heterogeneous "American" identities? As the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the exhibition explores these questions by showcasing how identity is presented and interrogated in visual art.
