SUMMARY:Common Ground: Sacred Art Traditions in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Where do we find common ground? Cultural heritage art forms create and reflect meaning\, identity\, and community\, but we can become overly focused on cultural differences\, or else assume that there is a universal artistic language. But what if we can dig into—and challenge—both perspectives? In this new series\, we bring together traditional artists who practice art forms rooted in different cultural traditions to demonstrate their work\, share with one another\, and discuss their similarities and differences. Our first conversation will feature Tibetan thangka painter Yeshi Dorjee and Byzantine iconographer Marek Czarnecki\, as they discuss their sacred art traditions with one another and with audience members. Come with your questions to share. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but we recommend that you register to reserve a spot. \nAdditionally\, there will be some artwork available for purchase from the artists\, but sales are only possible via Zelle. \nQuestions? Contact Kate Schramm\, Director of Cultural Sustainability\, at kschramm@connecticutmuseum.org. \nGET TICKETS

SUMMARY:The 29th Connecticut Regiment And the Fight For Freedom — Film Screening and Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the short film “The 29th Connecticut Regiment and the Fight For Freedom\,” followed by a presentation by one of the filmmakers. \nThis original documentary\, which won Best Connecticut Film at the 2023 Mystic Film Festival\, tells the story of the brave African-American men who enlisted in Connecticut’s 29th Colored Infantry Regiment during the American Civil War and fought for the freedom of their people. The film tells their remarkable story of sacrifice and heroism on battlefields in South Carolina and Virginia. Near the end of the war\, the 29th Connecticut was sent to Brownsville\, Texas where they were part of the federal force that occupied that town and brought news of the emancipation of the enslaved – celebrated today as Juneteenth. \nAfter the film screening\, Christopher Barlow of the Berlin Equity Action Team will give a presentation about the making of the film. \nBefore and after the program\, we invite you to browse our exhibition\, Wide Awake: Campaigning for Lincoln. The exhibition highlights a youth movement born out of the 1860 presidential campaign that had an outsized impact on Lincoln’s election and the war that followed. \nThis program is free! Please register below to let us know you’re coming! \nREGISTER\nQuestions? Contact Public Programs Manager Natalie Belanger via email at natalie_belanger@chs.org\, or call (860) 236-5621 x289.
