Little Theatre Auditorium is proud to host The Archive of Significant Objects during this year’s Studio Hop
June 12 from 4pm-9pm
June 13 from 10am-5pm
Curated by visiting artist Felicia Cooper, The Archive of Significant Objects consists of interviews with community people about significant objects in their life. Cooper then puts the objects on display in an impromptu museum. The interviews are edited into an oral history and shared widely.
This project has been supported by the National Humanities Center as part of its 2024 Being Human Festival, and recently received a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board to tour to rural areas of Minnesota.
Interested in submitting an object?
To participate in this project, set up an appointment by emailing Felicia at feliciatmcooper@gmail.com. Anticipate a 45-minute conversation where you will entrust your object to the project until it is displayed. The objects and their stories will then be on display in a pop-up museum and entered into a digital archive. Your object will be returned to you safely at the end of the display.
Interview windows are June 5th and 6th and will be conducted at Little Theatre Auditorium.
