About

This exhibition explores the ways in which identity is invented and intertwined through athletics. The works move beyond their individual subjects to examine the impact of sports upon the formulation and imposition of collective identities across space, time, and people. Spanning from the 19th through the 21st centuries, this exhibit explores topics such as cultural pride, the assertion of state power, collective nationality, and gender expectations.

A Space for Dialogue is a student-curated exhibition program that began in 2001. Hood Museum of Art interns create an installation drawn from the museum's permanent collection by engaging with every aspect of curation, from doing research and selecting objects, to choosing frames and a wall color, to planning a layout and writing labels and a brochure, to giving a public talk. There have been over 100 A Space for Dialogue exhibitions on a wide variety of themes.

A Space for Dialogue: Fresh Perspectives on the Permanent Collection from Dartmouth's Students, founded with the support from the Class of 1948, is made possible with generous endowments from the Class of 1967, Bonnie and Richard Reiss Jr. '66, and Pamela J. Joyner '79.
