Curating a Show on My Ineffable Mother, Ursula K. Le Guin
Summary
The piece reflects on curating an exhibition about Ursula K. Le Guin, centering the first typewriter as a tangible artifact and arguing against linear biographical storytelling. It invokes Le Guin's Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction to advocate for a non-linear, participatory approach to exhibitions, emphasizing memory, reader/viewer agency, and the impossibility of a single definitive version of a life.
