Exhibit: HIStory/HERstory: Whose Story?
HIStory/HERstory: Whose Story? is an exhibition that explores the idea that the victors have written history. This version of history is often told from one perspective — while other histories have been ignored, deleted, denied, left out of the official record. Whether it’s visual art, literature, film, sports, science, politics, education, animal, mineral, real or imagined history, this exhibition asks:
- Who’s telling what stories?
- How does this influence how we view and understand the world?
- Who’s in charge of shaping/determining the human record of creativity?
- What do the vanquished, the erased, the formerly invisible have to say that we should know?
- Who’s included in the official record?
- Who’s excluded? Omitted? Erased?
