UNA-USA Dane County Events

An exhibit of art and stories brought back by Peace Corps volunteers. Bringing the World Back Home recognizes Wisconsin Peace Corps volunteers whose 50 years of service has affected thousands of lives in various parts of the world.  This exhibition is a concrete way for returned volunteers in Dane County to share their experience. The art objects are windows into their memories and experiences with their overseas communities, and honor the people who welcomed them so warmly into their homes. In turn, the volunteers have been equally impacted by the cultures in which they found themselves. Most say “I gained so much more than I gave.”  Returning home, they often brought artifacts with them, reminders of where they had been, of the people they’d been with, and of the time they’d shared.
