Stories From Within: Selections From the Permanent Collection October 29, 2009

Whether beaded bag or lithograph, Pueblo painting or Jacob Lawrence print, these narrative works depict people in settings where stories unfold. Representing diverse cultures, various media, and multiple time periods, these works encourage long and active looking and inspire viewers to make meaning based on their own life experiences. The exhibition draws inspiration from the work of Harvard-trained psychologist Abigail Housen and from Visual Thinking Strategies, the method based on her research.
