For Region’s Largest Exhibit About Us
Holyoke Media Inc. was awarded a grant by the
Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts to present a multimedia and multicultural exhibit in 2021 that celebrates how grandmothers have influenced their adult grandchildren.
Titled “Our Grandmothers,” the project will document stories of 50 grandmothers through the eyes of their grandchildren across ages and
ancestries. These cross-cultural images and stories will highlight the influence of these women and their roles in our lives, how grandmothers have
influenced our values, aspirations and determination. The faces and actual
life experiences will attest to the assertion that diversity is our strength, by
sharing stories about the challenges and achievements of our grandmothers.
The organizers are eager to hear from adults in Franklin, Hampden and Hampshire counties who wish to have their grandmothers’ stories be
considered for inclusion in the exhibition.
