SUMMARY:Don’t Close Your Eyes: Ukrainian Artists Respond to the War
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Hanna Melnyczuk\, a Ukrainian-American artist\, and Halyna Andrusenko\, an artist from Kyiv\, The Umbrella Arts Center’s iteration of the traveling exhibition Don’t Close Your Eyes features the work of 27 artists from various regions of Ukraine responding to the invasion of their country\, which began February 24\, 2022. Expressions of grief\, loss\, survival\, and hope range from surrealism to expressionism and include drawings\, paintings\, mixed media\, papercuts\, lithographs\, and a six-minute video\, Protected\, in which Halyna Andrusenko echoes the wrapping of monuments in Kyiv by wrapping her parents in cloth. \nDon’t Close Your Eyes features a broad spectrum of powerful work in response to the war in Ukraine. This work is a testament to the power of the human spirit and the abilities of artists to synthesize powerful emotions and responses into works that transcend boundaries of time\, geography\, and space. \nAn Opening Reception with curator remarks will be open to the public on Wednesday\, January 17\, 5-7PM. Proceeds from artwork sales will be split between the creators and Ukraine Forward\, which provides life-saving resources to the people of Ukraine. \nThe exhibition is free and open to the public. Indoor gallery hours are 9AM-9PM daily. The Umbrella is ADA accessible\, offers free lot and street parking\, and is conveniently located off Route 2 and two blocks from the Fitchburg Line. \nPhoto credit: Ilya Yarovoy\, Amounts\, Public educational institution of vocational and technical education\, Sumy\, Ukraine\, Watercolor\, 2023

SUMMARY:“Huzzah! Drinking with John Hancock during the American Revolution” with Dr. Brooke Barbier
DESCRIPTION:2024 Friends of Minute Man Winter Lecture Series\, Part 1\n“Huzzah! Drinking with John Hancock during the American Revolution” with Dr. Brooke Barbier\n\nSunday\, February 25\, 2024\n2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.\nConcord Free Public Main Library\nFree and open to the public \nJoin us for the Friends of Minute Man Winter Lecture Series! Learn more about the important role of alcohol in the culture and politics of Colonial America in this free lecture with Brook Barbier\, author of King Hancock: The Radical Influence of a Moderate Founding Father (2023). When John Hancock needed to win people over\, he didn’t talk about resisting taxes or policy improvements; instead\, he served alcohol. He offered rum punch and wine at his home and paid for lavish meals in taverns to bring people together. Guests included lower-class men\, French officers\, and Black women and men. By throwing parties\, Hancock gained social and political power among myriad groups\, repeatedly paying dividends. He was consistently elected to political office and when he smuggled Madeira into Boston\, one of the most memorable and violent mobs during colonial resistance defended him. \nBrooke Barbier is a public historian who received her Ph.D. in American history from Boston College\, researching Boston’s social and cultural life during and after the American Revolution. Barbier owns a popular tour company in Boston\, Ye Olde Tavern Tours\, that takes guests to revolutionary sites and inside historic taverns to drink beer. Attendees will receive 10% off on 2024 Ye Olde Tavern Tours. \nRegistration is not required for this in-person event. The lecture will take place in the Goodwin Forum room of the Concord Free Public Main Library at 129 Main Street\, Concord\, MA. \nPlease visit the Friends of Minute Man website at https://friendsofminuteman.org/events/ for more information. \nThe Winter Lecture Series is co-sponsored by Friends of Minute Man\, Minute Man National Historical Park\, and the Concord Free Public Library. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Concord Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:Portraits in Red: Missing & Murdered Indigenous Painting Project
DESCRIPTION:The MMIP Painting Project began not as a project at all but with the intent of it being just one painting to show support for the Missing & Murdered indigenous peoples crisis. Artist Nayana laFond created the first painting on May 5\, 2020\, the day of remembrance for MMIP. She shared it ontine and the response was so overwhelming she did one more\, yet again intending that to be the end. The response to the second was even more and so Nayana opened her inbox to anyone wanting to be painted not expecting the 25+ the received the first day.Stories and images of loved ones missing\, murdered\, survivors and advocates/activists. It was then that it became a project when Nayana decided to paint them all and they didn’t stop coming. As of February 2024 there is now 110 completed paintings and a constant queue. \nThe paintings are done in black and white with red being the only color visible because many indigenous groups believe red is the only color spirits can see. The hand over the mouths symbolizes being silenced. \nNayana  is a domestic violence survivor and feels compelled to do this work to raise awareness and promote change and healing. The paintings are done for free and Nayana does not profit monetarily  from the creation or sale of these works. She donates any profits to the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center (NIWRC.org). In lieu of taking monetary donations\, she asks people to donate to any of the many organizations working with families and toward change.
