January 23, 2009 Exhibition Opening: Decoding Identity

Forging a personal identity gives rise to a unique voice that transcends stereotypical barriers. Informed by heritage, community, and culture, our specific identities determine who we are to become. The works of 20 multicultural artists challenge cultural and ethnic prejudices and question issues of religion, sexuality, race, and gender. Ultimately, Decoding Identity heals the dynamic tension between individual and collective identities.

On Friday night, January 23, 2009, we will host an Opening Reception for MOAD Members and invited guests from 6:30 - 8:00 pm and continue for the General Public from 8:00 -10:30 pm.
