Final project: contemporary Art and Globalization

the topic I chose is IDENTITY ART In spite of the changes predicted in the new millennium, late 20th century topics are still relevant today including postmodernism (has it really gone away?), feminism, and identity art. Art in developing countries has emerged as ethnic identity, reevaluating cultural assumptions no longer relevant to Western cultures but as a global expression questioning the true meaning of art.
