As part of our Web of Life exhibition, join Nayla Romanos Iliya (@naylaromanosiliya) on a creative journey into the origins of the alphabet. Explore the ancient Phoenician script and discover how its letters evolved, finding their way into alphabets still in use 3,000 years later, across many languages including English. Follow their transformations, decode their meanings, and trace the roots of letters we use every day.

Then make the alphabet your own. Choose letters that form your name, a meaningful word, or an idea that inspires you. Transform them into an artwork that tells your own story, and take it home with you!
