Make your Own Passport
Winter 2016
This exhibition asked young scholars to explore and question ideas of space, borders, and boundaries by learning about two contemporary artists Tintin Wulia and Mark Bradford. Both
of these artists re-examine and critique our understandings of maps and border politics.
Tintin Wulia is a contemporary Indonesian artist living in Australia whose work centers around ideas of borders and our national versus individual identities. Mark Bradford is a Los Angeles based mixed media artist most known for his large-scale mixed media collages using salvaged materials to create map-like abstractions.
Both artists create available assignments that were then interpreted by students of KIPP Chicago schools. These projects allowed students to begin to question and examine maps and borders on a macro and micro scale.

How to book a group tour
