A Community Celebration at the Stowe Center

Join us for a teteo—a Dominican slang word for a lively party—as we close the exhibition What does it mean to be Human?, a collaboration between artist Amanda Mendoza and researcher Gamze Ozker. The exhibition explores what it means to be recognized as human within systems that determine whose rights are protected and whose are denied.

Celebrate with us in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s backyard with music, dancing, games, arts & crafts, food trucks, and a car show in collaboration with Rad Stallions. Local community organizations will also be tabling throughout the event.

The Stowe Center Visitor Center will be open, giving visitors a final chance to experience the exhibition on its last day on view.

Featuring:
Car show • Music & dancing • Dominos & card games • Arts & crafts • Food vendors • Community organizations

Food by Los Chamos Street Food and Pika Food Truck.

Families and visitors of all ages are welcome. Registration is recommended but not required.
