wHY STRANGERS?
aEI tEACHING ARTIST, HEIDI HERNANDEZ EXHIBITS AT FIGGE ART MUSEUM, DAVENPORT

This installation expresses the importance of listening and conversations among people. Inspired by StoryCorps, this exhibit invites the viewer to harvest the stories that exist in our community and become more connected to others through spoken words.  
Listening, truly listening, is a form of admiration, the highest form of compassion and respect. What power comes with a good listen? Does it empower the storyteller, or maybe the person listening benefits more? We live among people who have experienced unthinkable events. Strangers pass us by, holding hopes and desires, passions and obstacles; their stories hold the power to inspire greatness. What if we just took the time to listen, listen with our full attention?
