Don’t You Know Who I Am? – Art After Identity Politicsis a major group exhibition at M HKA, the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, reflecting how 30 emergent artists relate to issues of ‘identity politics’ today, e.g. the modes and means by which identity and identification can be considered. The artists explored the formation of identity(s) in the world through strategies such as performativity, abstraction, reification, the logic and aesthetics of the digital, activism, the analysis of the self from cultural and scientific perspectives, or the study of the viewer's role. An extensive e-book (Eng., Fr., Ned.) that came out with the project can be downloaded via afteridentity. The exhibition was organised by M HKA within the framework of “The Uses of Art”, a project by the European museum network L’Internationale. L’Internationale proposes a space for art within a non-hierarchical and decentralised internationalism, based on the value of difference and horizontal exchange among a constellation of cultural agents, locally rooted and globally connected. Comprising six major European museums: Moderna Galerija (MG, Ljubljana, Slovenia); Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS, Madrid, Spain); Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA, Barcelona, Spain); Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp (M HKA, Antwerp, Belgium); SALT (Istanbul and Ankara, Turkey) and Van Abbemuseum (VAM, Eindhoven, the Netherlands) and associate organisations from the academic and artistic fields.
