Sept. 1 – Oct. 14  To Be—Named

To Be—Named is a multi-site, new media art exhibition focused on how names are created and used to shape, reshape, and sometimes mis-shape, our worlds and identities. The origins of To Be—Named lie in a partnership between the European Union funded CoLing project—a multi-national, multi-institutional program focused on minority languages, the OSUN-funded Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network which links university hubs around the world, and the Recovering Voices program at the Smithsonian Institution, which supports community efforts in language revitalization. This iteration of the exhibit was curated by Krista Caballero in partnership with Opalka Gallery.
