This exhibition is a collaborative community project, in which
residents showcase neighborhood history through a collection of
narratives and portraits. Stories are told using
autobiographical objects, audio interviews, photographs, and
recipes. As part of the April through June exhibition, a number
of companion events, such as garden walks, crafts, music, plays,
and children’s activities, will take place during the scheduled
public viewing times.
This exhibition is aimed to present, educate, and celebrate the
history of the residents near the Conservatory, and is an
ongoing project. If you are interested in participating and
adding your own history, a story donation booth, plus an
audio-recording “story booth” will be available on site. You can
