Modern ID World 2017
Modern ID World was a multidisciplinary exhibition
presented by the col.20649 collective, exploring the layered complexities of
cultural identity in contemporary society.
Through a blend of collages, textiles, and videos, the
exhibition opened a dialogue between tradition and modern life — reflecting on
how heritage, memory, and personal experience shape who we are.
The works examined the role of cultural practices and
ancestral knowledge in shaping identity, while questioning how these elements
adapt or endure in an ever-evolving world. At its core, the exhibition asked:
how do we carry our cultures with us, and how are they reshaped in diasporic or
Western contexts?
By presenting diverse perspectives through the lens of
multiculturalism, Modern ID World sought to reveal the emotional, cultural, and
social complexities of navigating identity today — especially for those living
between worlds.
