harry ransom center
This project was featured for a month as part of The Harry Ransom Center’s exhibit: The World at War, 1914-1918. Together with UT graduate student Daniel Carter, paper chairs made an accompanying audio guide for visitors to the museum. Voiced by 13 Austin performers, listed below, the audio guide further humanized and explored The Great War through readings of many of the personal letters featured in the exhibit.
