On view December 15, 2022 – March 12, 2023
Muskegon Museum of Art
Muskegon, Michigan

Through striking black and white photography by local photographer Jennifer Green, the visuals of “Through Our Lens: Hands” focus exclusively on the hands of each individual as they share their story. Green’s photography captures the emotional depth of each story in a way that evokes a sense of empathy, hope, love, triumph, and more.
Complimenting Green’s photography in the exhibition are written stories transcribed by local journalist Susan Harrison-Wolffis. Known for her passionate storytelling, Harrison-Wolffis traveled with Green to meet with each individual and listen to their stories. She recorded and transcribed their words into written works of art which will be displayed next to each photograph in the exhibition.
Hands hold the history of their person, and it is the goal of this exhibition to share a small piece of their history and how each of these hands has worked to make Muskegon a better place for all.
