Never Broken: Visualizing Lenape Histories considers the power of art to create, challenge and rewrite history through a dynamic display of contemporary art in conversation with historic ceramics, beadwork and other cultural objects. Laura Igoe, chief curator at the Michener, will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the planning and development of the exhibition and the museum’s engagement with Lenape artists Achipaptunhe, Joe Baker, Holly Wilson and Nathan Young.
