SUMMARY:RECLAMATION
DESCRIPTION:The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) presents RECLAMATION: Recipes\, Remedies\, and Rituals\, a new participatory exhibition featuring nine interdisciplinary artists. Conceived as a virtual experience that recontextualizes the traditional role of women in providing sustenance and healing\, RECLAMATION also features content submitted by the public\, interwoven with the artists’ work. \nRECLAMATION is an evolving exhibition and ingredient archive that examines food as a creative medium for visual art and a connective tool for exploring intergenerational and intercultural experiences. \nThe exhibition centers around a kitchen table\, the central domestic object for gatherings of family and friends. Nine artists will activate their own kitchen tables\, sharing photographs\, videos and stories about how they use this domestic object. These intimate glimpses into the artists’ homes simultaneously reveal a work of art and the process by which it is made. \nThrough a digital ingredient archive\, developed in partnership with the Family Arts Museum and Ten-Fifteen Media\, online visitors can participate in the exhibition by sharing recipes\, anecdotes\, photos and reflections related to food. Submissions will be layered with the artists’ work\, creating a dynamic portal for exploring the interconnectedness of food and the communal nature of nourishing and curing the body. In this way\, both artists and viewers will use those materials to honor women’s roles in the practices and traditions surrounding food. \nThe exhibition also features interviews and content from the Curative Collective\, a group of partners that focus on food—from advocacy and social justice work\, to healing and restorative self-care. These organizations help ensure that the exhibition reflects and serves their communities while sharing their arts and social change resources with NMWA’s audience. Examples of Curative Collective organizations are Black Magick Sisters\, Dreaming Out Loud\, Mutual Aid Apothecary\, and STRŌB Apothecary\, among others.

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Questions
DESCRIPTION:Viewed through a wider lens\, declaring independence involved more than a single document and a single historical moment. Before July 1776\, numerous local organizations had urged the Congress to embrace independence. And it was not just “Founding Fathers” but also a broader population whose actions gave the Declaration meaning. A broad-based Founding Generation—ordinary free men\, women held subordinate by law\, enslaved African Americans\, and others—brought their own ideas of liberty to the Revolutionary moment. \nLater generations\, too\, would struggle over Revolutionary issues\, some seeking to fulfill the Declaration’s proclaimed ideals and others promoting vested interests seeking to bypass popular consent. Given the many limits of the nation that the Revolution established\, can the Declaration still be a source of commitment and identity for Americans today? \nExplore these “Revolutionary Questions” to start a conversation in your community!

SUMMARY:How El Paso Works
DESCRIPTION:When Joseph Magoffin helped write the articles of Incorporation for El Paso\, he helped shape the modern city. In this series\, we will compare Joseph’s vision for El Paso to what is has become in the last 150 years. Guest speakers from municipal agencies will be invited to speak about their departments and let us know why and when we might need to call upon them to help us keep El Paso thriving. \nThis session\, we will discuss what it means to live in a historic district and what resources are available to homeowners with El Paso’s Historic Preservation Officer\, Providencia Velásquez\, the Chief Preservation Officer for the City of El Paso\, and learn about her work and vision for El Paso. One of the defining features of El Paso is the architectural gems scattered across its landscape—from the historic Missions to downtown El Paso’s Trost masterpieces\, Segundo Barrio’s tenement houses and the craftsman homes of Manhattan Heights and beyond. Learn more about the City of El Paso Historic Preservation Office which helps the home and business owners in these districts preserve these important buildings. This session will be particularly useful for anyone who lives or works in a historic building as it will highlight locally available resources. \nThis is a series meant to help us all become more aware of and confident in using city services available to us all and to celebrate 150 years of being an incorporated city in Texas. Call in advance to 915-533-5147\, ext. 1002\, or email magoffin-home@thc.texas.gov to register.

SUMMARY:EQUIANO.STORIES
DESCRIPTION:What if an African child in 1756 had Instagram when he was enslaved? \n Equiano.stories reimagines the historic childhood saga of Olaudah Equiano. The epic story is captured as a self-recorded\, first-person account\, within the format of Instagram Stories\, using video\, still images\, and text. Equiano.stories presents the early life of one of the most dynamic figures in history\, through modern technology that enables global viewing\, via social media. \nThe film focuses on the heart and soul of Equiano’s family and community in the Igboland village of Essaka\, then moves through the disruption resulting from the violent kidnapping that trapped him in chattel slavery. This true story reveals the strength\, tenacity\, and resistance of African people during the Middle Passage\, captured on a ship\, headed to the New World. \nEquiano is our origin story which does not begin in enslavement. It begins in FREEDOM. \nA joint feature film project by Stelo Stories Studio and the DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center.

SUMMARY:Juneteenth Evening of Songs and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Jamestown Settlement on Wednesday\, June 14\, for a thought-provoking evening of history and performance exploring the precarious nature of freedom from 17th-century Jamestown to Juneteenth. \nAlthough Juneteenth springs from events that happened in Galveston\, Texas on June 19\, 1865\, the event celebrates liberation from a system of slavery with origins in Jamestown\, Va.\, as the place where the first recorded Africans in 1619 were brought after landing at Old Point Comfort and where the first slave laws enacted in the mid-17th century impacted the lives and status of Africans and their descendants. \nAs a prelude to Juneteenth\, Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander\, Endowed Professor of Virginia Black History and Culture at Norfolk State University\, takes up that legacy in history 246 years later at the end of the American Civil War to share the story of Black regiments attached to Virginia’s Army of the James. \nSome of these regiments were sent to Texas after the war to patrol the gulf region that included Galveston. Among their duties was keeping the peace after news of the Emancipation Proclamation was delivered to Galveston’s enslaved inhabitants. \nInterludes of song by Sylvia Tabb Lee & the Rejoicing Singers and dramatic readings from primary sources will complement the evening.
