Week ahead – January 12 to January 18

Unreliable Witness – Opening Reception

Join us Friday, January 16, from 6–9pm for the opening of Unreliable Witness, a new exhibition by Stephanie Todhunter. This event will be held at the Arts Collaborative Medford (ACM) 162 Mystic Ave Medford, MA 02155

Featuring immersive works that bring two-dimensional characters to life, Unreliable Witness invites viewers to consider how memory shifts, distorts, and reshapes the stories we tell ourselves. Through playful yet probing encounters, Todhunter asks us to question the reliability of our own narrative lens—and what happens when imagination fills in the gaps. Earl Howard and Peter West will also be part of this exhibition.

Come for sips, snacks, and play!
