Friday, 4/29 | INSIDE OUT + OUTSIDE IN: An Interactive Oral History Exhibit Opening Reception

OPENING RECEPTION: 
April 29th, 2022 | 7:00-8:00 p.m.

Student exhibits will open with this event, where we will invite you to explore the oral histories and chat with the curators. For a sneak peak at the exhibits, please visit our exhibit hub. Individual exhibits will go live at 5 p.m. April 29th.

Our students are creating this year’s exhibit in a moment of cautious venturing out. In New York City, spring is coming, and withdrawing, and coming back. We are now allowed to take off our masks in class, but many are keeping them on. We noticed that, in this moment, our work engages with the dynamics of inside and outside.

How much of our internal realities can we, or should we, share externally through oral history processes? How can oral history help us to understand and to cross boundaries—political, social, material, linguistic?

Most students have created online exhibits you can check out any time after they go live on April 29, and each student will also be hosting one live event. Some are in person and some are online; a few are hybrid. You are invited to meet their narrators, engage in experiments in archive-making, listening, and creation, and join the conversations that began in their oral histories this year.
