Reviews

Lester’s ability to deftly weave sensory narratives and complex theoretical texts together truly made this a pleasure to read. I foresee future exhibit research building on his work by pushing past the boundaries of Western constructs of knowledge sharing. - Claire Du Laney, University of Nebraska at Omaha
