St. Pete Storytellers Rewriting History

Who decides what history remembers?

St. Pete Storytellers | Part 2

Artists do more than create ‘objects’; they shape the stories we remember. Rewriting History explores how artists, institutions, and collectors influence what gets passed on to the next generation.

The Conversation

Who gets remembered? Who gets left out? Who decides?

Beginning with Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party and Voices from the Song of Songs, we’ll consider how artists challenge inherited narratives.

The dialogue expands to contemporary artists, cultural communities, and the role of the collector in sustaining ideas worthy of a legacy.
