Do You Think I’m Disco? is the first survey of its kind to focus on the impact of dance music culture on contemporary art. This exhibition focuses on the complex dialogue between club culture and society, and the subsequent influence on identity politics after the U.S.-based liberation movements of the late 1960s to 1970s.
