UWM Gallery Night | C21 Exhibition Opening
Friday, October 18 | 4:00-7:00 PM
Explore galleries across UWM’s campus with six exhibitions to peruse, including C21’s new exhibition Story Cart: Trust and the Vote.
With an historic U.S. presidential election on the horizon, C21 interviewed over 60 people in Milwaukee County about their relative trust or distrust in the U.S. voting system. Story Cart: Trust and the Vote features select interviews, images, and other memoranda documenting these exchanges that reflect Milwaukee County’s collective hopes, doubts, and ideas for transforming democracy.
Join the Center for 21st Century Studies on October 18 for some pre-election button-making, voter resources, and light refreshments. This opening is part of UWM Gallery Night and Gallery Night MKE.
