This spring, artist Katya Stepanov, a Jewish immigrant from the former Soviet Union, opens an immersive installation that invites audiences to embark on an investigative journey into identity. A museum of memories greets visitors as they move from room to room, exploring her inheritance and learning to examine their own.

Audiences explore inheritance in an interactive, hidden soundscape revealed in fragments of personal and cultural history — tales, relics, songs and poems embedded in the space. In the absence of a narrator, guests must reach their own conclusions: What does it mean to inherit an identity? Can we be the authors of our own story?
