Telling stories about our lives is a formative act. Through storytelling we not only share information about ourselves, but we fashion our identity.
Listening is an act of love. Being present and attending to the reflections of friends, neighbors, and family enables us to learn from the life experiences of those who are the keepers of wisdom, and makes clear that every life matters.
The objects collected for this exhibition embody the biographical stories of Inland Empire community members. They are not mere “things” – they are possessions, made irreplaceable by the accidental meanings they’ve acquired. We asked each participant to use his or her object to reflect back on their childhood. The exhibition shares and celebrates the stories that emerged through this process of autobiographical self-discovery.
