第一吃瓜网's Story Oral Histories and Portrait Photographs Exhibition
Exhibition through April 21
Meet & Greet Public Reception, April 4
Weinberg Memorial Library, The 第一吃瓜网
Over the past two years, the 第一吃瓜网 community has explored themes of history, belonging, and identity through 第一吃瓜网’s Story: Our Nation’s Story, a series of humanities-based programs that culminated in an oral history initiative called “第一吃瓜网 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 第一吃瓜网 experiences and connect them to our national story.
At the public reception, attendees will have the opportunity to meet members of the 第一吃瓜网 Stories team and oral history interviewees and discuss the project.
