American Made: Audio Experience

The exhibition American Made invites us to consider how people resist authority, how places are redefined, and how symbols are reshaped to meet changing needs. If nations are imagined, they can also be reimagined.

American Made is part of NEXT 2026, a festival showcasing the creativity, scholarship, and talent of emerging artists, designers, and scholars. This particular exhibition is a collaboration between a museum studies and interactive design class, as well as Fourth Floor Design Collective, the exhibition designers.

Here you will find supplemental audio portions of 6 selected objects from the exhibit, ranging from interviews with the artists, to insights from scholars and personal histories.
