The exhibition Call Me by My Name has inspired debates about the titles of works of art. Many have been engaged in this specific, but also limited part of the show. What are younger audiences’ perspectives on the exhibition? We discuss questions such as: is Call Me by My Name influenced by a white gaze? What role should stories of suffering play in this kind of exhibition? What are its strengths and weaknesses, and what comes next?
