Join the Library on Wheels (LOW) at the Stowe Center's teteo—a Dominican slang word for a lively party—as they close the exhibition "What does it mean to be Human?", a collaboration between artist Amanda Mendoza and researcher Gamze Ozker.
Through intimate and reflective works, the exhibition explores what it means to be recognized as human within systems that determine whose rights are protected and whose are denied. Together, Mendoza and Ozker examine how compassion and dignity are lost—and reclaimed—through struggles for human rights.
The Stowe Center invites the community to gather in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s backyard for a celebration of joy, culture, and community as we close the exhibition the best way we know how—by coming together. Because Harriet’s backyard is for everyone. Meet the LOW there!

Hartford Public Library’s history spans more than 235 years. We can trace its very beginnings to the Library Company, formally organized in 1774 by a few subscribers to purchase a "collection of useful and religious books". And now, the library is a national leader in redefining the urban public library in the 21st century as an innovative and stimulating place where people can learn and discover, explore their passions, and find a rich array of resources that contribute to a full life.
