The ethnic communities “displayed” in the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair introduced Americans to different cultures.But the exposition also promoted stereotypes.
Now, 130 years later, Latinx teens in the Hear Me Out/Escúchame project will exhibit a collaboratively made piece of art inspired by the exhibition All the World Is Here to challenge stereotypes.
Drop in to respond and create your own piece with simple art materials for “submission” to an imaginary 2023 World’s Fair.
Take your place with us and share how you want to be represented.
Presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.
Las comunidades étnicas “exhibidas” en la Feria Mundial de Chicago de 1893 dieron a conocer a los estadounidenses diferentes culturas.
Pero la exposición también fomentó los estereotipos.
Ahora, 130 años después, los adolescentes latinos/as/x del proyecto Hear Me Out/Escúchame expondrán una obra de arte hecha en colaboración e inspirada en la exposición All the World Is Here para desafiar los estereotipos para responder y crear su propia pieza con materiales de arte sencillos para “presentarla” en una Feria Mundial imaginaria en el 2023.
Tome su lugar con nosotros y comparta cómo quiere ser representado.
