"Inspired by the book "10,000 Memories," the exhibition was developed in collaboration with The 1947 Partition Archive, a Berkeley-based nonprofit. Debuting in Los Altos before traveling statewide and beyond, the exhibition features firsthand accounts, photographs and multimedia storytelling from those who experienced Partition or whose family lived through the creation of India and Pakistan during World War II, when millions were displaced amid widespread violence."
"Reedy Press recently released "Letters Home from Stanford: 125 Years if Correspondence from Students of Stanford University" by Alison Carpenter Davis. Davis, who graduated from Stanford in 1979, will be at the Palo Alto Art Center for a free presentation and book signing on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2-4 p.m. Davis collected handwritten and electronic correspondence from generations of Stanford students, from first letters home freshman year and firsthand accounts of historical events to questions about self and about laundry."
