SUMMARY:A Dialogue with The Veda: Hindu Scripture and the Transcendentalists
DESCRIPTION:When we think of the connections between the Transcendentalists and Eastern culture\, we often think about Henry David Thoreau’s seminal essay Civil Disobedience and its influence on leaders of non-violent protest movements throughout the world\, including Mahatma Gandhi. However\, the exchange of ideas went both ways\, and the thoughts and writings of Thoreau and Raph Waldo Emerson were influenced by Hindu Philosophy. Join us for a unique symposium on this rich exchange of ideas and on how we can continue to learn from Vedic teaching to improve our everyday lives through mindfulness practices. \nSponsored by the Ms. Saluni Fadia and Prashant H. Fadia Foundation in celebration of the Foundation’s 25 years of giving back in the fields of education\, health\, technology\, and the arts in New England and India. \n5:00 – 6:00 pm: Bringing Vedic Teaching to Everyday Life: A Conversation and Guided Practice with Lara Wilson and Ruchika Sikri  \nRuchika Sikri\, co-creator and former executive leader of Google’s original Well-Being and Mindfulness Learning Program\, has a goal of bringing secular and science-based mindfulness and compassion learning to many organizations and communities globally. With her colleague Lara Wilson founder and executive director of the Concord-based non-profit Be Well Be Here\, Ruchika will lead participants through simple mindfulness techniques that help regulate emotions and start your journey to be more mindful in the moment. \n6:00 – 6:30 pm: Spotlight Talk on the Concord Museum’s Vedic Texts \nAn English traveler and writer\, Thomas Cholmondeley\, gifted Henry David Thoreau 44 volumes of sacred texts of India’s Vedic literary tradition. On his death\, Thoreau bequeathed half of the volumes to Ralph Waldo Emerson and half to Bronson Alcott. Concord Museum Educator Punita Arora presents a spotlight talk taking a closer look at three volumes displayed in the Concord Museum and the influence of Hindu Philosophy on Emerson and Thoreau’s thought and writing.  \n6:30 – 7:00 pm: Reception. The reception will not be livestreamed. \n7:00 – 8:00 pm: Keynote Address: Thoreau and the Bhagavad Gita with Laura Dassow Walls \nLaura Dassow Walls\, Professor Emerita University of Notre Dame and author of Henry David Thoreau: A Life\, presents on the influence that Vedic literature had on the Transcendentalists.  Professor Walls reveals how ancient literature of India transcended boundaries – both geographic and temporal – to imbue itself in Thoreau’s life to the point that Walden reads\, at times\, like a successor in the tradition of Hindu philosophy.  \nFree for Members | $10 Non-Members | Free Virtual \nRegister using the form below.

SUMMARY:Eyewitness to Revolution with American Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:Eyewitness to Revolution with American Ancestors\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis illustrated virtual talk will focus on the stories told by objects in the Concord Museum collection about the lead-up to April 19\, 1775\, and the epochal day itself. In the aggregate\, these stories contribute forcefully to an understanding that the Revolution\, the great turn from a monarchy to a republic\, was already over well before the day the Revolutionary War began. \n\n\n\nDavid Wood\, Curator of the Concord Museum\, has served at the Museum since 1985 and provides deep knowledge of the collection and Concord history. He has overseen the development of over 40 temporary exhibitions and galleries. He is the author of numerous scholarly articles and publications\, including the award-winning An Observant Eye: The Thoreau Collection at the Concord Museum and Eyewitness to Revolution: The American Revolution Collection at the Concord Museum. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by American Ancestors. Forums for the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution are made possible by a gift from Claire and Joshua Nelson. Forums are supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund. \n\n\n\nThis program is entirely virtual and hosted by American Ancestors.

SUMMARY:Open House and Reception for the 250th Student Art Show
DESCRIPTION:Open House and Reception for the 250th Student Art Show\n\n\n\n\n\nHigh school students from across the Commonwealth are creating artwork inspired by the “one if by land\, two if by sea” lantern at the Concord Museum as a symbol of the American Revolution and our nation’s continuing aspiration towards liberty and justice for all. All are welcome to a community open house to see the artwork and meet the artists. \n\n\n\nThe open house is free and no advanced registration is needed. \n\n\n\nInformation for Artists\n\n\n\nThe “one if by land\, two if by sea” lantern at the Concord Museum is a symbol of the American Revolution and the Patriot cause. Two lanterns were hung in the North Church in Boston on the night of Paul Revere’s midnight ride on April 18\, 1775\, the night before the first battles of the American Revolution in Concord and Lexington. These lanterns were the start of an eight-year war to create a new nation built on liberty and justice for all -an aspiration that people across the nation continue to stride towards today. \n\n\n\nArtwork can also be submitted for a juried review. Selected works will be included in a 250th exhibition at the Concord Museum. \n\n\n\nGuiding Questions: \n\n\n\n\nWhat do liberty and justice mean 250 years later as we mark the anniversary of the start of the American Revolution in 2025?  \n\n\n\nWhat does revolution mean to us today?\n\n\n\nAs an artist in the Concord community\, how do you want to inspire and instigate change\, lighting the way to a better future?\n\n\n\nHow do you\, through a work of art\, add insight into an issue and promote awareness in unique and powerful ways\, ensuring liberty and justice for all in our world today?  \n\n\n\nWho is typically remembered from the Revolution and how can artists broaden the diversity of people who are honored and remembered?\n\n\n\nLight is a starting point; we’re eager to see where you take this theme.\n\n\n\n\nContemporary Artists to Consider: \n\n\n\nTitus Kaphar\, Barbara Walker\, Ai Weiwei\, Shirin Neshat\, Kara Walker\, Lorna Simpson\, Yoko Ono\, Maya Lin\, James Turrell\, Olafur Eliasson\, and Anna Veronica Janssens. \n\n\n\nSubmission Instructions: \n\n\n\nStudents’ submissions will include final artwork\, digital photograph\, artwork title\, artist first and last name\, school\, and grade (we are only accepting works from high schoolers grades 9-12). Submissions should be sent to teachers and teachers should collect and forward all digital submissions to info@concordmuseum.org. All artwork should be delivered to the Concord Museum\, 53 Cambridge Turnpike\, Concord\, MA 01742 on March 4\, 2025.
