About the event
MY NAME IS MIMOSA East Window Gallery | April 3-25
I never had a hospital record or baby book. I had newspaper headlines. On April 4, 1975, the first evacuation flight of Operation Babylift crashed shortly after takeoff. 150 children survived - I was one of them. For decades, my origin story lived in archives I'd never seen. Then the archives found me, and I became their keeper. This exhibition is my reconstruction: the news articles, flight documents, and magical connections that turned 50 years of silence into voice. What started as a personal inquiry became a mission to reconnect an entire community with its beginnings.
