Framed within the animated climate of another presidential election year, Ideologue evokes the subtle structures that shape societal values, such as individual freedom, progress, nationalism, and identity. Through whimsical and subversive representations of social behaviors and political paradigms, the projects in this exhibition examine how the vast image culture of our globalized world elicits, demystifies, and resists current discourses on ideologies.
