In its "Unfurlings" series, part of a Mellon Fellowship for Arts Practice and Scholarship, Never The Same activates the archive. Collaborators Daniel Tucker and Rebecca Zorach invite a series of fascinating individuals to dig into NTS archives looking for items of interest to share. Cauleen Smith, filmmaker and artist in residence at the Washington Park Arts Incubator, will lead a discussion of materials she has selected.  More info about the archive project here.
