August - September 2023
Storied Lives featured at the Baer Gallery of St. Norbert College
Storied Lives is an exploration of personal freedom seen through the lens of stark contrast. In the pairing of two distinctive dichotomous documentary projects -- Graham's Land of the Free, and Warpinski's Death|s|trip -- this exhibition reveals how the presence, or absence, of personal freedom impacts the human condition.
