2021 Cleveland Humanities Festival: IDENTITY

The 2021 Cleveland Humanities Festival on IDENTITY takes place in March and April and offers public programming which explores this theme from a variety of humanistic perspectives.  It addresses basic questions about why identity matters, especially in a world reshaped by pandemic and economic distress.  The question of how we identify ourselves, always important, takes on added significance now.
