History is never just in the past—it lives within us. Join the Des Moines Art Center and CultureALL’s Open Book program for storytelling and conversation inspired by the exhibition Time Travelers.
CultureALL’s Open Books—trained storytellers from diverse backgrounds—will share personal narratives that connect their lived experiences with cultural and historical legacies. As we move through the galleries, selected artworks will serve as a catalyst for dialogue on memory, tradition, and the ways we carry history forward. Step into these stories and explore how the past continues to shape our present and future.
