SUMMARY:Interwoven: Women's Lives Written in Thread
DESCRIPTION:Our current special exhibition\, Interwoven: Women’s Lives Written in Thread\, highlights needlework produced by young women in New England and specifically the extraordinary collection of samplers at the Concord Museum. Featuring 30 samplers sewn in the early 1700s to mid-1800s\, Interwoven explores how young women created records of their own lives and experiences\, written in thread. \nThe exhibition explores the history of needlework and embroidery\, its importance as an art form\, and its significance to women in the 18th and 19th centuries. Intended to showcase young women’s accomplishments\, the samplers also communicate details of their lives and education\, their communities\, and their families. The exhibition provides a unique view into their private lives. For most of these young women\, their samplers are the only objects that survive from their lives. Many of the samplers have never been displayed before. \nLearn about the education of privileged young women in the early republic and understand how wealth and enslaved labor enabled them to pursue decorative arts. Explore the materials used in constructing samplers\, such as linens\, dyes and silk\, and how and where these materials were produced. View samplers that demonstrate how women recorded family history and the loss of loved ones through needlework. Understand how they incorporated the importance of community and a strong sense of place in their samplers. \nThe gallery includes areas for hands-on and interactive activities. Exhibition programs connect the history of samplers to contemporary work through visiting artists\, demonstrations\, workshops\, and more. \nImage credit: Detail of Sampler by Phebe Bliss\, 1749.

SUMMARY:Black Girls and Their Needlework in Early America
DESCRIPTION:11th Annual Sally Lanagan Lecture\n \nDr. Kelli Racine Barnes joins us to discuss the lives and experiences of Black girls during the late 1700s and early 1800s in the northeastern United States by examining the needlework they created.  By using material culture as primary evidence\, the needlework provides valuable clues about the lives of these Black girls in northern cities during the antebellum period.  Dr. Barnes highlights the importance of centering Black girls as historical subjects to better understand American history\, the history of education in the United States\, the history of sampler-making\, and the world history of embroidery. \nThis forum is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund. \nFree Member | $10 Non-Member | Free Virtual \nPlease register using the form below.

SUMMARY:The Sewing Girl’s Tale: A Conversation with John Sweet
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the 2023 Bancroft Prize in American History\, John Sweet joins us to discuss his new book The Sewing Girl’s Tale: A Story of Crime and Consequences in Revolutionary America.  On a moonless night in the summer of 1793\, a crime was committed in the back room of a New York brothel\, and seventeen-year-old seamstress Lanah Sawyer did what virtually no one in US history had done before: she charged a gentleman with rape. Based on rigorous historical detective work\, Professor Sweet shows how our laws and our culture were changed by a persistent young woman and the power of words 200 years ago. \nFree Member | $10 Non-Member | Free Virtual \nChurchill and Janet Franklin Lyceum and Livestreamed \nPlease register using the form below.
