If you've done a double-take over what appears to be a work of art on the side of a King County Metro bus recently, you didn't imagine it. Last week, the Henry Art Gallery in the University District launched their latest show,

Shamim M. Momin, director of curatorial affairs at the Henry, told me over the phone that the show was their way of "bringing our exhibition site out into the world." The project comes after the Henry wisely opted not to reopen their building this year due to the pandemic.
