Koskores Gallery exhibit shines light on untold stories of art history

Debuting in the Karen and Ted Koskores ’70 P ’10, ’13 Art Gallery this week is “ART hiSTORY: Amplifying Voice & Expanding the Narrative.” The exhibition opened on Monday, Nov. 4 and will run through Dec. 20.

The exhibit brings a number of art history’s untold stories into the light, weaving together a tapestry of experiences that challenge our understanding of whose stories deserve to be told. Through large scale sculptures and totems, artistic bookmaking, textiles and embroidery, painting, printmaking and found object assemblage, these works don't merely ask for inclusion—they demand a fundamental reimagining of the canon itself. Each piece serves as both artwork and artifact, testament and triumph, memory and manifesto. 

“ART hiSTORY: Amplifying Voice & Expanding the Narrative” includes the work of Ronni Komarow, Vladimir Zimakov, Joe Caruso, Cedric Harper, Ruth Rosner, Camille Musser, and Yvonne Lamothe.

The exhibit intends to honor these vital narratives and celebrate the artists who refuse to let these stories fade into silence. Through their courage and creativity, they remind us that every voice enriches our collective story.

The Karen and Ted Koskores Art Gallery is a 1200-square-foot gallery located just below Southworth Library and is open for viewing Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Visit thayer.org/gallery to learn more or to plan your visit.
