About the event
Come and visit the traveling exhibit "The Fourth Grade Project".
Over the past decade, acclaimed artist Judy Gelles interviewed and photographed over 300 fourth grade students from a range of economic and cultural backgrounds in China, Dubai, England, India, Israel, Italy, Nicaragua, St. Lucia, South Africa, South Korea, and multiple areas of the United States. She asked each student the same questions:
Who do you live with?
What do you wish for?
What do you worry about?
Their collected stories reveal the depth of their diverse experiences. The project has since expanded into a free, digital curriculum available to any educator interested in increasing empathy and understanding in their classroom.
