“Keepsakes”—In the digital age, what physical objects do we keep? Why? What do they say about us? How do we share them? In what ways are the handmade Black dolls in the exhibition keepsakes? How are keepsakes from the past similar and different from the present?
Join The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures for this thoughtful conversation, led by Dr. Carmaletta Williams, Chief Executive Officer – Black Archives of Mid-America in Kansas City.
WHEN
Wednesday, August 28
11:00AM-12:00PM
WHERE
The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures
5235 Oak Street, Kansas City, MO 64112
