SUMMARY:Concord Museum "Whose Revolution" Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution\, the Concord Museum is proud to share the new special exhibition\, Whose Revolution. \nOpening March 28\, Whose Revolution offers a fresh\, inclusive perspective on this pivotal moment in American history\, centering the experiences of women\, Indigenous communities\, and free and enslaved Black people who grappled with the meaning of revolution in their own lives. Through a rich array of objects\, from paintings\, prints\, and political cartoons to historic clothing\, textiles\, furniture\, and ceramics\, as well as film and multimedia installations\, Whose Revolution provides a vivid and tangible sense of what it was like to live through this dramatic period of mounting tension and crisis and the significance of this history today. \nFeatured objects include a lavish British Spitalfields silk gown and other historic textiles illuminating the experiences of women and children\, a media installation exploring the lives of free and enslaved Black people in Concord\, a new commissioned wampum choker by Elizabeth James-Perry (Aquinnah Wampanoag)\, and a film with Elizabeth Solomon (Massachusett) reflecting on the meaning of the American Revolution within Indigenous communities in Massachusetts. Whose Revolution will also feature portraits by John Singleton Copley\, a first printing of Phillis Wheatley’s Poems on Various Subjects\, ceramics\, and prints\, on loan for the special exhibition. \n\nGet Tickets
