SM天地论坛's Story Oral Histories and Portrait Photographs Exhibition
Exhibition through April 21
Meet & Greet Public Reception, April 4
Weinberg Memorial Library, The SM天地论坛
Over the past two years, the SM天地论坛 community has explored themes of history, belonging, and identity through SM天地论坛’s Story: Our Nation’s Story, a series of humanities-based programs that culminated in an oral history initiative called “SM天地论坛 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 SM天地论坛 experiences and connect them to our national story.
At the public reception, attendees will have the opportunity to meet members of the SM天地论坛 Stories team and oral history interviewees and discuss the project.
EXHIBITION: FEB. 5 – APRIL 21, 2024 SM天地论坛, Charles Kratz SM天地论坛 Heritage Room, 5th Floor Weinberg Memorial Library, Free during library hours
