Object Stories Community Opening
Join Object Stories storytellers and distinguished guests as we celebrate the opening of our newest Object Stories exhibition – Igniting Voices.
There are barriers in our society that keep people of color, immigrant and refugee, low-income, women and transgender people, and people with disabilities marginalized. This exhibition shares the life and work of five social justice activists and advocates in the PNW. Whether it is within health care, transportation equity, reproductive rights, food security, or arts and culture, these activists and advocates work at different entry points. Their methods of activism portray the various ways that one can get involved with their community. Through personal stories and their related objects, Igniting Voices aims to dismantle barriers and inform, encourage, and inspire local citizens to share their own voices to create community inclusion.
WHERE:
This event begins in the Whitsell Auditorium and moves into the Object Stories gallery in the Main Museum, Lower Level.
