An extension of Erin Bernard’s traveling museum, The History Truck W.I.C. Work/Shop explores the lived experience of welfare through a mobile exhibition and series of public programs, informed by first-person accounts of the Women, Infants, and Children (W.I.C.) nutritional assistance program.
The History Truck visits the iMPeRFeCT Gallery during the gallery opening of a mini-retrospective of the life and work of John N. Phillips. The public is invited to share their experiences with W.I.C., connect with the project team, and answer the questions: To what extent does W.I.C. serve women and babies, and what is missing from the mainstream narrative? How do we increase empathy for families struggling to put food on the table?
