This collection reflects the many ways of seeing the self and other, and of understanding our own identity. In considering the other, many artists went back to look at the self, and where our notions of that come from. We understand ourselves through interactions with others. We all start life puzzled,searching to understand who we are,how we are and how to interact with others. If we are handed a traditional or manufactured view of gender, for example that does not reflect who we are, we still have to do our growing up in the presence of those expectations. This generates tension and conflict, seen in some of the works here, and makes it hard to accept that we ourselves learn by reacting to others.
