About the Exhibition

Unspoken Resilience is intended to offer the chance to heal and learn through the exhibit of artwork by members of the Deaf community — and the chance to celebrate the Lewiston community's resilience through Kolster's powerful cityscapes that honor how the Lewiston community as a whole came together following the tragedy. The exhibition highlights issues of communications access and recognizes American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters, who offer a linguistic and social bridge between deaf individuals who use ASL and people who cannot sign.
