How can you understand your city more deeply? This exhibition showed how the Indianapolis-based informal collective We Are City answered that question between 2012 and 2014. At the center of the show were the products of We Are City’s creative residency program, [IMPORT], which brought six internationally active artists and designers into conversation with individuals and communities in Indianapolis. Featuring the [IMPORT] residents’ visual, audio, written, and material responses to their time in Indianapolis, as well as other documentation of We Are City’s activities, [EXPORT] shared the group’s city engagement efforts with a new audience in Columbus, IN.

Curated by Laura Holzman. [EXPORT] featured work by Oliver Blank, Jace Clayton, William Zoe FitzGerald, James A. Reeves, Rocio Salceda, and Matthew Skjonsberg.
