The Cultural Center of Cape Cod Presents Summer Exhibition MEMORY VS. STORY

The Cultural Center of Cape Cod has announced the highly-anticipated 2023  summer exhibition, "Memory vs. Story." Running from July 28th through September 9th, this captivating showcase  seamlessly blends artistic expressions and scientific marvels of the mind, inviting audiences to explore their own  narratives and the fascinating interplay between memories and storytelling. 

Artist John Cira's collaboration with the Cape Cod community promises a truly personal sensory experience for visitors.  Cira, celebrated for his storytelling through artistry, will harness the power of participants personal memories to  fabricate a fantastic floor-to-ceiling mixed-media sculpture in the main gallery through an ongoing incorporation of  artifacts and mementos provided by the public.  

Cape Cod Healthcare is sponsoring the exhibition, which will also feature an upcoming talk with  neurologist Dr. Sean Horrigan, DO., on memory disorders, sharing insights into human memory and how stories  shape our human condition.
