Please Join Us in Celebrating Dana Damewood’s Solo Exhibition: Wahoo

We’re thrilled to present Wahoo, a deeply personal photographic series by Dana Damewood, reflecting on her childhood in Wahoo, Nebraska. This body of work captures the quiet beauty and tender moments that define small-town life.

Set within the historic Joslyn Castle, Wahoo creates an intimate home within a home by transforming the Morning Room and Gold Room into spaces rich with nostalgia and reverence for place. We hope you’ll join us and bring your own community along to experience this heartfelt story.

About the Series:

“I grew up in the town of Wahoo, NE, population 2,000. I lived on the family farm and went to a one-room school in the middle of a cornfield. When we moved into town, I spent most of my time at my grandmother’s house.

When she decided to move at the age of 97, I wanted to preserve the feeling and memory of the space that always felt like home to me. I remember the way the light came in through her windows and loved that nothing changed there for as long as I can remember. I used my vintage Rolleiflex camera to photograph her home and some of the places around town that once seemed mundane but now hold deep meaning for me.”
