Re/frame: Tell Me a Tale/Show Me a Story (noon session)

Join Ann Poulson, the Henry’s Associate Curator of Collections, for an interactive online session to take a closer look at objects in the museum’s collection.

We all love a good story, and have heard that a picture is worth a thousand words. However, it takes a particular skill to represent a narrative effectively in a single, static image. Often this relies on the viewer’s familiarity with the subject matter. In some cases, however, the artist turns everything on its head by creating an image highly evocative of a narrative, but one unknown even to them, allowing the viewer to construct a story all their own.

Re/frame is a recurring program that delves into the Henry's extensive collection, highlighting a different group of objects each month. Join us for group discussions and the opportunity to see art rarely on public view.
