Art and storytelling both thrive in connection. Join the Des Moines Art Center and CultureALL’s Open Book program for an evening of personal narratives and community conversation inspired by the exhibition “ Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Collaborations.”
“CultureALL’s Open Book”— trained storytellers from diverse backgrounds — will share personal stories reflecting on identity, heritage, and the power of building community. As we move through the galleries, Álvarez Bravo’s photographs offer a setting rich with history, collaboration, and creative exchange, inviting us to consider the many ways our lives intersect.
