ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½'s Story Oral Histories and Portrait Photographs Exhibition
Exhibition through April 21
Meet & Greet Public Reception, April 4
Weinberg Memorial Library, The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½
Over the past two years, the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ community has explored themes of history, belonging, and identity through ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½’s Story: Our Nation’s Story, a series of humanities-based programs that culminated in an oral history initiative called “ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Stories.” First launched in fall 2023, this exhibition showcases portraits taken by photographer Byron Maldonado and personal statements and interview links from 33 community members to give voice to a broad array of ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ experiences and connect them to our national story.
At the public reception, attendees will have the opportunity to meet members of the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Stories team and oral history interviewees and discuss the project.
