Learn About Our History Through Art


The I Was Here project is a series of public art and public history installations that serve as a mindful, reverent, and powerful acknowledgment of American history.Through a synthesis of the arts, humanities and technology, the project is an invitation to bring a new understanding to the concept of Nation Building. Truly understanding our history is the gateway to transform how we see ourselves and each other.
