Part 1: 3:00 pm at Brister’s Hill, Concord, MA
Part 2: 4:30 pm at The Umbrella Arts Center, Concord, MA
Stop by Brister’s Hill for part one of The Umbrella Arts Center’s two part event, the “Art Ramble Walking Tour”. Learn about the critically acclaimed out door exhibition on Brister’s Hill (land protected by The Walden Woods Project) from curator Marla McLeod as you take a guided walk through Walden Woods to engage with the large scale and site-specific works there. Following the tour, the program continues with a panel discussion and light refreshments.
Part two of the event, “From Archive to Art” will be in Room 221 at The Umbrella Arts Center (40 Stow St., Concord, MA). The conversation will feature McLeod in dialogue with historian Elise Lemire, author of Black Walden: Slavery and Its Aftermath in Concord, Massachusetts. Together, they will illuminate the rarely seen collaborative process between scholar and artist—tracing how archival research, historical interpretation, and creative vision came together to shape Weaving An Address. More information and RSVP (encouraged, but not required) at TheUmbrellaArts.org/weaving. This program is co-presented by The Umbrella Arts Center, The Walden Woods Project and The Robbins House.
