Fables, Myths, and the Stories We Share

March 5 – May 10, 2026

This exhibition celebrates storytelling, an art universally shared between cultures across time and geography. Stories in the form of fables, myths, legends, epics and the like have served as symbolic vehicles to explain essential truths and contradictions about human behavior, to impart wisdom or history lessons, or to warn and advise humanity about the perils and pitfalls in life.

The thirteen batiks that form the narrative Meadowlark Buried Her Father are inspired by the history of bone fossils in the prairie regions of North Dakota, Minnesota, and Manitoba.
