What I Know and When I Knew It


About the Program

What I Know and When I Knew It draws on the transformative powers of visual arts and storytelling to change the narrative around aging. In this multi-workshop program, 30 elders who live in Houston’s Third and Fifth Wards embark on a personal exploration of their life stories, weaving connections with works of art in the MFAH collections, and in turn making their own art.
