On December 9, 2017, I hosted the Living Room Project at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. I shared with museum goers some of the sources of inspiration in my career as a writer, performance artist and more recently, as a filmmaker. The  Living Room Project was originally conceived by internationally acclaimed artist, Lee Mingwei, and commissioned by Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, in 2000.  For more information about the origins of this wonderful project and Lee Mingwei, please visit: Lee Ming Wei's Website   and read, "Experimenting in Museums: The Living Room Project" .
