And Still We Rise - update

Greetings All,
Here's an update on the ASWR exhibition.

The Bruce Museum presents "And Still We Rise" Public Programs - January 16, 2016 - April 24, 2016
The public programs accompanying And Still We Rise: Race, Culture, and Visual Conversation are designed to complement the exhibition’s exploration of the intersections between art and social justice. Through these film and lecture series, we aim to contextualize the quilts exhibited in And Still We Rise, helping visitors to understand these quilts within a larger tradition of American craft as something that engages with both cultural history and contemporary social issues.

Craft in America Screenings
Beginning on January 20, 2016, we will be screening specials from Craft in America, the Peabody Award-winning series originally broadcast on Public Television. Through themes such as “Memory,” “Community,” and “Family,” the films in this series highlight America’s rich cultural history, and the ways in which artisans use crafts to grapple with contemporary issues. Films are on Wednesday mornings at 10:30am. Each film is 50 minutes long, and followed by 15 minutes of Q&A with a Bruce Museum staff member.
