Ways of Seeing was a series exploring how literature and visual art inspire one another, inviting audiences to uncover the connections between storytelling, creativity, and the many ways artists interpret the world across mediums. Over 18 months, the Library hosted a series of luminaries to illuminate the richness of our cultural landscape, including Elizabeth Gilbert, Molly Ringwald, Hisham Matar, Maira Kalman, Rachel Cusk, Ken Burns, Jhumpa Lahiri, Michael Pollan, Meredith Whittaker, and more.
