On Friday, March 27th, from 4:30-6:30pm, the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center is having a public reception honoring my senior design students, who worked last fall semester 2008 on the reinterpretation of Stowe’s visitor center.
“Enlivening the Past: Exhibition Design as Storytelling” is an investigation of alternative ways the visitor might experience Stowe’s Hartford home created by University of Hartford students under the direction of Professors Natacha Poggio and Lauren Cook. Students were challenged to incorporate senses beyond sight and explore new methods to bring the story of Stowe’s life alive.
Harriet Beecher Stowe Visitor Center is located at 77 Forest Street, Hartford, CT 06105.
The exhibit runs until April 30th, 2009.
