Heart to Heart: Our Pandemic Stories
October 6 - November 22, 2022
Nevada Humanities Program Gallery
1017 South 1st Street, #190, Las Vegas
Heart to Heart: Our Pandemic Stories is a multimedia exhibition drawing from a culmination of almost three years of collected stories shared by over 270 contributors across Nevada as a part of the Humanities Heart to Heart program series. Contributors aged 16 to 90 reflected on their varied experiences throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, with artwork, photography, essays, poetry, and more. The exhibition showcases the hope and the resiliency of Nevadans during the isolation of the pandemic with the goal of inspiring more people to document and share their pandemic experiences.
“It has been humbling to bear witness to the hundreds of stories shared by Nevadans about their pandemic experience through Humanities Heart to Heart,” said curator Kathleen Kuo. “When we could not gather together safely in-person, these stories connected us with one another and helped us to learn how others were navigating these times of crisis and extreme uncertainty. The exhibition offers a new way for the public to access and respond to these honest and heartfelt reflections on issues that matter to us all. I am thankful for our contributors who took the time to share a part of their story with us, and I look forward to hearing more from fellow Nevadans as they view our exhibition both online and in person.”
