Join
a member of the People Passage Place: Stories of the Ohio Valley exhibit
team for an intimate and exploratory gallery viewing experience.
People
Passage Place uses the Filson’s
vast collections to share stories that shape the social and cultural fabric of
the Ohio Valley. This exhibit has been separated into three thematic sections
to explore multifaceted perspectives on our region: Land Labor Water, People
Family Community, and Culture Creativity Craft. The materials on display
have been selected to expand preconceptions and encourage conversations. Items
will be rotated periodically to feature fresh Ohio Valley stories.
Participants
will meet with a curator between 1:30 and 2 pm. Examples of topics that will be
covered in the Gallery Chat include behind-the-scenes info and details about
the exhibit’s development, design, and installation; the curatorial process and
how the objects were chosen; further details about the stories presented; and
how the community was involved in this project. Following the Gallery Chat,
participants will have the option to take the 2 pm guided campus tour to learn
more about the Filson Historical Society and the historic home where we are
housed.
The
exhibit team includes Emma Bryan, Hannah Costelle, Abby Glogower, Jim Holmberg,
Kelly Hyberger, Maureen Lane, Patrick Lewis, Heather Potter, and Brooks
Vessels.
