Online Exhibit: Impacts of WWI

This post is guest-authored by Yasmine Uyeda, a UHWO student.

Come and join us on an online exhibit experience! Led by Dr. Christina Mello, her students from ANTH 383 Museum Studies and ANTH/CM 378 Visual Depictions of Human Experience, have come together to create an online exhibit. This exhibit will focus on the topic of WWI and its impacts throughout the world. This exhibit will highlight the untold stories of those who were impacted by WWI and the ways they persisted through those difficult times. We plan to include the many cultural artifacts and the history of the profound impacts caused by WWI. During these difficult times caused by COVID-19, we hope to shed some light and provide to all visitors a fun and educational experience.

The exhibit titled, “The Peoples’ Persistence: Impacts of WWI Around the Globe”, is ready to view! We welcome everyone to visit this online exhibit! Also, follow us on our Instagram page @peoplespersistence. If you have any questions about this event, please email us peoplespersistence@gmail.com or contact Dr. Mello melloc@hawaii.edu.  We hope you can make it!
