The Churches’ Middle Eastern Adventure
Isabel's Tour
Performed by Anne UndelandTime: A two-part series of 1 hour long dramatic readings
As part of a larger digital humanities program in development at Olana, the 2018 audio tour links to themes in
the 2018 exhibition, Costume & Custom: Middle Eastern Threads at Olana. This tour is designed to illuminate
the travels that inspired the design of Olana and many works of art by Frederic Church for years to come. This audio tour creates access to the voices and experiences of the Churches while traveling through many regions of the Middle East.
