The Miami University Art Museum presents Reflections: Visual Constructions of Race, an exhibition focused on the artistic representations of identity within various cultures. The exhibition explores the differences between personal perceptions of self and the so-called “other,” while also exploring works of art as results of cultural hybridity. Reflections is designed to provoke thought regarding personal identity and how we see others through the lens of race.
