The
director
of
education
at
the
Peabody
Museum,
one
of
the
Harvard
museums
of
Science
and
culture
and
I'm,
inviting
Chelsea
residents
and
anybody
on
the
North
Shore
to
come
down
to
this
awesome
mini,
exhibit
at
the
Chelsea
Public
Library.
When
you
walk
in
you'll,
see
a
two-sided
space
with
two
chairs
encrusted
with
art
and
I
hope.
You'll
spend
a
little
moment
reading
the
text
panels
which
are
bilingual
and
English
and
Spanish,
because
15
teenagers
named
right
here
spent
about
three
months
with
us.
Building
four
exhibits,
two
of
them.
One
of
them
is
here
today.
A
Two
of
them
are
open
for
the
year,
but
15
teenagers
built
two
exhibits
with
us
over
a
semester-long
period.
You'll
see
their
names
on
this
particular
panel,
now
they're
coming
in
they're
getting
excited
so
maybe
you'll
meet
them
a
little
bit
later.
This
exhibit
was
based
around
an
installation
at
the
museum
that
talked
about
the
1893
World's
Fair,
an
atmosphere
in
Chicago.
Many
many
cultures
were
represented,
but
they
didn't
give
voice
to
how
they
wanted
to
be
represented.
A
They
were
presented,
as
other
people
saw
them,
that's
foreign
or
as
other
or
as
not
quite
as
advanced
as
some
people
would
like
today.
This
is
no
longer
a
practice
in
the
world
and
our
students
and
the
teens
who
worked
on
this
responded
strongly
and
really
felt
like
they
wanted
to
figure
out
a
way
to
represent
themselves
in
the
way
that
they
would
be
proud
for
people
to
know
about.
So
we
did
a
series
of
activities
around
identity,
interim
culture
and
around
bologna
and
around
taking
up
space
in
this
world
in
a
really
positive
way.
A
A
Many
of
our
folks
are
from
El
Salvador
or
from
Central
America
from
Mexico
from
Honduras
one
from
Brazil
one
from
Peru,
and,
as
you
take
a
look
at
it,
you
can
see
even
on
the
fronts
and
the
sides
of
the
chairs
that
they're
responding
to
ways
that
they've
been
treated
as
minorities
in
a
majority
culture
or
in
Chelsea.
A
As
majority
of
the
majority
concert,
if
you
look
carefully
over
here,
you
can
see
some
of
the
themes
that
they
hope
people
see
in
the
exhibit
one
person
who's
here
today
did
grandmother's
kitchen
curtains
and
how
they
frame
love,
which
is
an
important
part
of
her
memories,
evolved
in
a
place
and
of
Heritage.
Other
people
talked
about
the
Caribbean
Waters,
where
they
came
from
from
the
beach.
Some
people
talked
about
the
gorgeous
El,
Salvadoran,
traditions
of
dancing
and
folk
art
and
music.
A
All
in
all,
this
was
a
challenge
for
the
kids
because
they
really
wanted
their
own
chair.
Don't
we
all
want
our
own
chair
right
to
talk
about
ourselves
at
our
identity
and
we
only
gave
them
a
piece
so
I
think
they
did
a
great
job
in
coming
to
terms
with
the
realities
of
exhibits,
which
is
what
we
all
have
to
do
in
the
museum
world.
If
you
come
in,
you
can
get
to
go
to
the
other
side
and
see
a
place
where
you
can
contribute
your.
A
So
here
we
are
on
the
other
side
of
the
exhibit
at
first
glance,
it
reminds
you
from
school
because
there's
a
desk
and
a
chair
and
some
pencils,
but
what
we
hope
you'll
do
is
read
the
questions
directed
at
you
list
three
things
that
help
Define
your
cultural
identity,
it's
kind
of
a
hard
question
right,
at
least
it
is
for
me,
and
then
people
have
added
their
thoughts
to
this
board.
We
have
about
a
thousand
comments
from
when
this
exhibit
was
first
in
the
Peabody
Museum
and
we're
Gathering
more
at
this
particular
location.
A
I
might
read
a
few
of
them
to
you
see
what
you
think
generically
you
could
have
Traditions
or
music
or
being
Salvadoran.
Maybe
more
specifically,
you
can
be
Mayan
or
interested
in
music
or
have
a
kitchen
language
as
your
native
tongue.
If
I
had
to
put
my
comments
up
there
today,
I
might
say.
A
New
Englander,
feminist
French,
heritage,
Twitchy
I,
don't
know,
that's
probably
not
part
of
my
cultural
identity,
but
it's
certainly
a
part
of
my
identity
of
that
moving
person.
So
what
we
hope
people
will
do
is
take
a
look
at
what
the
kids
did,
try
to
put
themselves
in
their
place
and
add
their
comments
to
the
exhibit
so
and
have
a
conversation
with
the
people
around
them
in
the
library
with
family,
with
friends
about
what
this
project
was.
All
about.
A
So
we
could
document
the
team's
work
and
they
could
have
something
for
their
college
portfolios,
but
I
invite
you
to
come
down,
enjoy
the
exhibit
it'll
be
here
till
March
return
a
book
leave
a
comment
have
a
great
time
and
we
hope
you'll
visit
the
Peabody
Museum,
certainly
which
is
free
to
Massachusetts
residents
from
9
to
12
on
Sunday
mornings.
Hi.
D
My
name
is
Lindsay,
and
this
is
my
piece
that
I
made
for
the
hamiel
program.
D
I
really
enjoy
doing
this
project
because
it
helped
me
see
pieces
of
myself,
of
who
I
am
and
my
family
is
super
religious,
so
I
added
some
like
eye
contact,
but
I
saw
either
the
southern
flag
and,
as
you
can
see
like
it's
kind
of
like
a
collage
and
the
reason
why
I
did.
That
was
because
I
feel,
like
many
people,
think
that
people
from
Central,
America
or
South
America
are
just
like
this.
E
F
F
But
the
biggest
thing
that
first
went
to
my
mind
was
that
how,
in
my
household
I
constantly
and
constantly
saw
artwork
like
this
around,
and
it
was
just
something
that
I
always
grew
up,
seeing
and
something
that
without
me,
even
knowing
how
to
pick
part
on
my
life.
So
I
decided.
That
was
like
the
best
route
for
me
to
go.
F
G
B
Hear
me
out
is
a
project
meant
to
invite
the
Hispanic
Community
to
the
Harvard
museums.
Usually,
people
feel
more
comfortable
going
into
spaces
in
which
they
can
relate
to,
which
is
what
hear
me
out
is
All
About
Us
students
are
making
pieces
to
go
into
the
museums,
since
we
all
have
different
backgrounds.
These
pieces
are
unique
to
us
and
our
families,
which
many
people
in
our
community
can
relate
to
in
some
aspects.
