ArtsWestchester's latest exhibition asks the question, White is the "Truth?" Is there one Truth or many? And who "owns" history?

What is the "Truth"? Is there one Truth or many? Who "owns" history? Does it belong to the writers and those written about or do we all have a share as a collective? These questions are explored in "Who Writes History?", an exhibition that foregrounds a more inclusive recounting of the past and present. Supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, participating artists explore how images and language (together and independently) shape our collective memory and mainstream narratives. Co-curated by Randy Williams.

Participating Artists: Gina Adams, Natalia Arbelaez, Jennifer Ling Datchuk, ForFreedoms, Mariam Ghani, Jeffrey Gibson, Mona Saeed Kamal, Cannupa Hanska Luger, Susan Manspeizer, Sana Musasama, Kambui Olujimi, Jorge Otero-Pailos, RIDIKKULUZ, Eric Rhein, Lauren Sandler, Jean-Marc Superville Sovak, Howard Skrill
