What Were You Wearing: An Interview with the Curator Nivea Ho

This episode of MoNA Moments was recorded as part of the What Were You Wearing installation in the Expression Exchange Gallery, on view during April 2025 as part of Sexual Assault Awareness month. What Were You Wearing was curated by high school student, Nivea Ho in collaboration with Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services of Whatcom County. In this episode, you’ll hear Marjie George and Athena Frantz from DVSAS Whatcom interviewing Nivea about what she hopes visitors will take away from this installation and the stories contained within. The themes in this exhibition can be difficult to process or might have an intense impact on visitors.
