ART THAT MOVES YOU

Ten people of varying heights and genders stand in front of a gallery installation. Each one is wearing an oversized white or black t-shirt on top of their other clothes which reads ANNA LEONOWENS WAS A SUFFRAGIST in purple or green capital lettering. Cathy Busby stands in the middle of the line of folks smiling at the exhibition she and her staff put together.
