ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
How does a single work of art change when viewed through different eyes?
One Work, Many Voices invites visitors to experience a single work of art through the perspectives of guest speakers from our community. Rather than a traditional lecture, this conversation-based gallery program encourages curiosity, thoughtful discussion, and audience participation, reminding us that every viewer brings something meaningful to the experience.
This session explores "Grandmother Gestating Father as the Washita River Runs Ribbon-Like" by T.C. Cannon, joined by Kira Hayen, artist and writer, and Molly Murphy Adams, exhibiting artist and art historian. Together, they’ll examine themes of identity, culture, memory, belonging, and visual storytelling while inviting guests to share their own observations and experiences. As new perspectives emerge, the artwork becomes a starting point for deeper understanding—not only of the work itself, but of one another.
Following the gallery discussion, guests are invited to join us for an Ekphrastic writing workshop inspired by T.C. Cannon’s poetry. Ekphrastic writing vividly describes, interprets, or responds to a work of art.
