Exhibit: We Answer the Call: Our Neighbors’ Stories from the COVID-19 Community Oral History Project
In the midst of a global pandemic, many Monroe County residents did what they could to help their family, friends, and neighbors stay healthy. The exhibit, We Answer the Call: Our Neighbors’ Stories from the COVID-19 Community Oral History Project, features quotes from members of our community who have helped or been helped by our neighbors and participated in the History Center’s COVID-19 Community Oral History Project. Located in the Deckard Education Room and free to the public, We Answer the Call shines the light on our local helpers who answered our call for help during the pandemic.
Support for We Answer the Call is provided by IU Health Bloomington, Indiana Humanities, and members of the Monroe County History Center.
3AM. Recent Iron and Mixed media Sculpture by Bert Gilbert Opening Reception
For Gilbert, the past several years have brought intimate life-altering events even beyond the pandemic — deaths in the family and retirement from his construction and design business among them. Absorbed by reflection, the artist states about his show 3AM
It’s those things you think about in the middle of the night that get scraped out of the back corners of your brain. Those things with the touch of truth and a big dash of the fantastical. The worries, the dreams, the expectations, and exasperations that flitter across the back side of our eyelids and dance a manic cotillion through our restless mind.
The exhibit is free and open to the public.
