Our Votes, Our Values

September 6 – December 15, 2024

One of the most powerful ways you can take an active role in politics is by voting. Your votes reveal your values - what you consider to be most important in your life and in the lives of people in your community. This exhibition is organized around ongoing national conversations that explore connections between the values we maintain and how those values influence our voting. The ideas that resonate in this exhibition are meant to empower visitors to make their voices heard in the democratic process.

Mapping Climate Change: The Knitting Map and The Tempestry Project

August 30 – December 15, 2024

This installation features two innovative textile art projects that give visual and tangible presence to our warming world at a crucial moment of environmental precariousness. By translating temperature, precipitation, humidity, or windspeed data into stitch and color, these vibrant works potently and poignantly reveal the centrality of weather to notions of identity and experiences of place, and thus “map” a range of encounters from environmental to phenomenological.  

It’s better from the inside.
