Told Again is a travelling group exhibition that reclaims moments from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales. The exhibition features miniaturized narrative moments from Andersen’s well-known stories––the Little Mermaid, Thumbelina, Ugly Duckling, Snow Queen, ––and from his lesser known tales––the Nightingale, Flying Trunk, and Matchstick Girl. The artists Dana Lynn Harper, Sheila Jonah, Jessica Bartram, Hamza Mahjoub & Julie- Ann Déry, Liane Wong, Amélie Bissonnette, Natalie Draz, Hea Kim & Jon Park and David Stormer –have condensed favorite stories into a common household item, the matchbox. This book-like object re-ignites story-time adventures with childhood memories, strong female characters, and a flare for hope in another wise dreary world.
