Paper details
Identity as a theme has been a motivation for work produced since the 1990s. What is the theme of identity
in art all about? How has this theme allowed LGBTQTS+ artists, BIPOC artists, artists with disabilities or
marginalized artists to engage with the artworld? Make reference to the relevant theories about identity (or
the body) used by our authors and the work of at least five artists that you have not discussed elsewhere in
this exam. In your discussion, explain these theories or critical concepts and show how identity actually
works within these specific art works, at the level of description or analysis. In conclusion consider whether
“Identity” is still a relevant theme for the artwork of the last two years.
