Preserving Places and Stories in Over-the-Rhine

The Over-the-Rhine Museum (OTRM) has engaged me to support their capital campaign this year. The OTRM tells the stories of the people who shaped Cincinnati's historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, fostering understanding and respect through immersive experiences. I'll also be contributing by writing the interpretive description for an apartment exhibit focusing on disinvestment and residents' responses in the early 2000s. The museum will be located in a historic tenement building, using the stories of its past residents to explore broader themes in urban American history. The OTRM aims to be a vibrant, welcoming space for everyone, sparking conversations and collaborations around Over-the-Rhine's diverse history. They'll be actively engaging the community in this ongoing dialogue, exploring the stories of individuals, the neighborhood, and its built environment. https://www.otrmuseum.org/
