“In the oral traditions of my ancestors, a witness has an important role. To ensure that things are not forgotten, a witness watches, listens, and then remembers and shares with others what they have learned.”
— Carey Newman

Bearing witness is a central message of artist Carey Newman’s Witness Blanket. Learn more in a new blog post and see the exhibition at the Museum until May 8. ➡ https://bit.ly/4bq8D0g
