Our Inheritance: 2024 An Interactive Oral History Experience
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?
