Textures of Remembrance: Vietnamese Artists and Writers Reflect on the Vietnamese Diaspora
Join us for the Opening Reception of two Spring 2023 exhibitions.
Textures of Remembrance: Vietnamese Artists and Writers Reflect on the Vietnamese Diaspora explores stories of personal struggles and memories demonstrating the effects of the Vietnam war on identity, sense of family and community, and representation, featuring works by emerging writers and artists.
Other Worlds: The Art of Storytelling is a student-developed exhibit which explores global storytelling traditions—acting, dance, puppetry, game design, costuming, film, and literature—through material culture, immersing visitors in an adventure following the Hero's Journey.
Free and open to the public, RSVP appreciated.
