Relative Connections focuses on our thirst for heritage and connection. Our histories are assembled from many sources, past and present, and each is a relative construction. Yet it is through our histories that we view the future. Relative Connections is an interactive art installation that invites you to share ancestral stories and artifacts - in fact histories - with others. They will be woven into a larger tapestry or narrative bringing together many of the moments that have slipped from all of our tongues. Exploring our histories goes beyond this project. It is an opportunity to illuminate and bring our memories to the surface.

Join us at the Kimball Gallery, de Young Museum, throughout September 2008, Closing reception September 26th.
