“Who Tells Our Story”
By guest curator Dr. Monica Hunter
October 2, 2020-January 25, 2021
Napa county is a rich tapestry of stories. It takes many voices and various perspectives to capture all the stories about different places, people, livelihoods, leisure activities, and politics. NCHS is partnering with Arcadia Publishing and Valley organizations to highlight the stories that have been told, and shine a light on the stories that still need telling. This exhibit will feature books, images, documents and historic objects, in addition to a speaker series by four authors from Arcadia’s book collection on Napa history.
Please meet our guest curator, Dr. Monica Hunter
For the last decade Monica has applied her anthropological and ethnographic training in her work on grassroots community engagement at the local, regional and national scale to support emerging areas of formal and informal education and school design for 21st century learning. Her interest in community engagement also extends to the environmental policy arena where she has used her skills to support public processes focused on sustaining environmental viability of agricultural regions of the central coast.
Monica received a governor’s appointment to the California State Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board serving for the past 16 years as a board member, including four years as Vice Chair. Monica continues to explore her love of photography and enjoys the ease of on-the-go digital technologies that allow her to document the world as she encounters it.
