A full slate of public and school programming will accompany
the exhibit, including a grand opening event; hands-on workshops for
adults, parents and children; guided tours; movie showings featuring
movies with Navajo directors, producers, and actors; and programs and
demonstrations on natural dyes and textile conservation.

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Documenting China, Contemporary Photography and Social Change is a Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibit.

changing so rapidly. Apart from Hinkley’s experience abroad, the
exhibit also includes views of more recent change in China through an
exhibit on loan from Bates College Museum of Art and the Smithsonian
Institution Traveling Exhibition Service from April 11 to June 7, 2009.
