Every object holds a story. Or stories. That's the core idea behind the thought-provoking new Philbrook exhibition, TRADE & TRANSFORMATION. Curator Kalyn Fay Barnoski (Cherokee Nation enrollee, Muscogee descent) originated and organized this exhibit. She visits MC to chat about how she came to create it. The show is on view through December 30th. More info at Philbrook.org.
