In March and April, CCRH presented Memory
and Other Familiar Words, a program featuring
two renowned artists, Lillian Pitt and Elizabeth
Woody.
The artists were well received by audiences at Portland
State University, Washington State University Vancouver and at the
Yakama Nation Museum in Toppenish, Washington.
Pitt and Woody
joined together to express their perspectives on the history of
the Columbia River Basin. Pitt shared slides of her artwork and
offered commentary about their creation and inspiration, and Woody
read from selections of her writing, exploring how storytelling
and memory shape perspectives and help maintain traditions.
The program was informative, engaging, and entertaining,
and it prompted audience members to think about heritage and the
history of the region in which they live.
