This exhibition explores the ways in which identity is invented and intertwined through athletics. The works move beyond their individual subjects to examine the impact of sports upon the formulation and imposition of collective identities across space, time, and people. Spanning from the 19th through the 21st centuries, this exhibit explores topics such as cultural pride, the assertion of state power, collective nationality, and gender expectations.
