What We Hold: Teens reflect on how memories extend over generations It started with a question: “What do we inherit, embody, and echo from previous generations?” What emerged were more questions, conversations, and discoveries. The resulting audio stories share a layered quilt of myth and memory from the perspective of Bay Area teens in 2016. Exploring their own family narratives allowed these students to claim and understand how moments of the past transform, beyond memories, into relationships and outlooks in the present. What We Hold is the fourth in a series of installations highlighting the experiences and perspectives of The Museum’s Teen Art Connect interns. The high school interns were responsible for every aspect of the recordings, from initial interviews to final edits. In presenting this work, The Contemporary Jewish Museum celebrates the valuable contributions that young people make to the creative landscape of the Bay Area.
