  Oral history weaves connections between generations, between places, between people. In this year's curating projects, students explore the place of oral history in diasporas, families, social movements, kitchens, gardens, and nations. We invite you to ponder these questions with us: What does it mean to accept this inheritance? What is the work of remembering, of listening, of amplifying? How do we listen to the material objects that carry oral histories, from clothes to dolls to plants to landscapes?

  
  
  This year our students guide you to:
  • Hear and taste plant oral histories
  • Discover family history and culture as the ultimate household aesthetic
  • Explore a newly uncovered family history
  • A Journey to(ward) the Roots of American History
  • Taste your way through the life of a chef
  • A gathering of the ungathered
  • Meet fashion people, explore fashion narratives
  • Learn how civilians can save their democracies
  • Re-connect with Homelands
  • Watch me choose (?) my culture
