Discover the intersections of family history and health at "The Cost of Deep Roots: Family Tree Exhibit," a thought-provoking Big Read event showcasing the artistic talents of high school students. In this unique exhibition, students explore their own family health histories through creative visual art, tracing generational patterns of health issues and reflecting on the impact of access to healthcare over time.

Students will present their findings through various art forms, from paintings and sculptures to multimedia pieces, highlighting the health challenges faced by their ancestors and how these issues have evolved. This exhibit not only provides insight into the historical and ongoing health concerns within families but also emphasizes the importance of equitable access to healthcare in addressing these challenges today.

Join us for an evening of reflection and discussion as we explore how understanding our past can inform a healthier future. Engage with these powerful artworks and consider how improved health access can transform the future for families grappling with long-standing health issues in marginalized communities.
