HIStory / HERstory: Whose Story? [August 15 – October 23, 2025]

The Glen Arbor Arts Center takes on the question of history and voice in its next exhibition. HIStory/HERstory: Whose Story? is an exhibition that explores the idea that the victors have written history. This version of history has often been told from one perspective — while other histories have been ignored, deleted, denied, left out of the official record. The exhibition opens August 15, 5 pm with a reception in the GAAC Main Gallery.

Whether it’s visual art, literature, film, sports, science, politics, education, animal, mineral, real or imagined history, this exhibition asks:

• Who’s telling what stories?
• Who’s included in the official record?
• Who’s excluded? Omitted? Erased?

Twenty-four exhibitors take on these questions, and answer them with work about what’s included in the art historical canon; a fractured telling of Native American history; the voices inside a mom’s head; and other topics. Read more about the exhibit, and exhibition companion programs. View it online at GlenArborArt.org / EXHIBITS. HIStory / HERstory runs through October 23.
