In|Dignity Exhibition
海角直播 partnered with California State University San Bernardino to present 鈥淚n/Dignity: Mobile Exhibition to Support Resilience, Empathy, and Community Strength鈥� January 21st through January 31st in the 海角直播 Art Gallery.
鈥淚n|Dignity鈥� is a collaboration between the Anthropology Museum at CSUSB and the Inland Empire community. Combining documentary portraits by CSUSB Professor Thomas McGovern and autobiographical reflections by over 40 community participants, the exhibition documents the role of difference in shaping understandings, opportunities, and identities.
The title 鈥淚n|Dignity鈥� is meant to be read as a single word 鈥� 鈥渋ndignity鈥� 鈥� and also as two separate words 鈥� 鈥渋n dignity.鈥� These two meanings capture precisely what the exhibition examines: experiences with oppression, discrimination, bigotry, exclusion, stigma, and prejudice, and simultaneously the pride and self-respect that we must have for ourselves and for others facing injustice.
鈥淚n|Dignity鈥� was curated by Arianna Huhn, director of the CSUSB Anthropology Museum and assistant professor of anthropology, and Annika Anderson, assistant professor of sociology, with assistant curators Lark Winner, Jackie Gervacio, and Ana Gonzalez.
