About IDENTITY: In this exhibition, you’ll see many types of identities, age, race, gender, sexuality, immigrant, veteran and disability status, all expressed together in the same show. It is meant to be an exploration of self and how we interact with the world because of the identities we may be born with, choose or grow into, or have placed upon us by society. It’s also a reminder of the many stories happening to and all around us that contribute to the shared human experience.

 Guest Digital Curator: Mary McCawley of the Digital Dreams Art Initiative

Mary McCawley is a multidisciplinary curator, technologist, and community builder working at the intersection of art, identity, and emerging technology. Based in Kansas City, she is the founder of Digital Dreams—the city’s first NFT-focused art initiative—and serves as a lead curator of Blackdove, a worldwide platform that allows digital artists to show and sell their work.

For this exhibition, Mary is proud to introduce digital art to InterUrban ArtHouse’s gallery space, marking the first time digital and traditional media have been displayed side by side in the venue’s history—and one of the first such integrations in Kansas City at large. Her work explores how digital artifacts can coexist with physical mediums to expand our understanding of identity, permanence, and expression in the 21st century.
