SUMMARY:CCHAP Special Event: Mas Camp Graduation
DESCRIPTION:On August 23 from 5:30 – 7:00 pm\, CMCH will celebrate the completion of Mas Camp\, our summer youth employment program. At the event\, the teens will receive their certificates of completion\, and will perform their dance routine in costume. The event is free and includes a sampling of Caribbean foods. \nTen teens\, along with many community volunteers\, have spent six weeks learning to design\, make\, and perform with Caribbean Carnival costumes\, carrying on the traditions of Mas – Trinidad-style Carnival masquerade. Under the guidance of master costume maker Keimani “Q” Delpeche\, each teen designed and built a complete costume\, including headpiece\, arm and foot bands\, girdles\, collars\, backpacks\, and all frames and attachments needed for wearing the elaborate structures. Dance teacher Clerona Cain trained the students in “displaying” their costumes in a dance routine. The teens have formed a Carnival band that will perform at the  Wadsworth Atheneum Caribbean Block Party\, the Taste of the Caribbean Festival at the Riverfront\, and at the 54th annual West Indian Independence Day Parade and Festival. \nThe Mas Camp program is a seven-year collaboration between the Connecticut Cultural Heritage Arts Program at the CMCH\, and the CT International Cultural Carnival Association under the direction of Linford “Junior” Miller. We are honored to have been selected as one of fifty exemplary youth arts programs by the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities in a nationwide competition this year. \nSpecial thanks go to our dedicated funders including the West Indian Independence Celebration Committee\, the Board of the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History\, Ellen M. Brown\, the UConn-Caribbean Initiative\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the CT Office of the Arts/DECD. \n

SUMMARY:Political Appetites: Revolution\, Taste\, and Culinary Activism in the Early Republic
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and visitors to join us for a brown bag lunch talk with Nancy Siegel\, Ph.D.\, New England Regional Fellowship Consortium Fellow and Professor of Art History and Coordinator of Museum Studies\, Towson University. \nHer  brown bag talk will examine the creation\, naming\, and function of comestibles in American culinary history as an expression of nationalism and patriotic sentiment from the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. From ladies’ tea boycotts in the mid eighteenth century\, to the creation and use of homebrews such as Liberty Tea\, to the development of a vast number of individual recipes with patriotic associations—such actions bring attention to a segment of American culinary history that require attention. The creation and naming of recipes in American cookery books by women who developed these recipes furthered the causes of republican values as part of a domestic ideology. This culinary vocabulary often occurred in the gendered space of the kitchen\, where hostesses prepared sweet treats for their guests in praise of the new and fragile nation\, with names such as Democratic Tea Cake\, Washington Pie\, Franklin Buns\, Lafayette Gingerbread\, and Jackson Jumbles to name just a few. Women\, in particular\, as communicators of social and cultural mores\, became culinary activists authoring cookbooks that functioned as both educational tools in the areas of literacy\, social instruction\, and domestic reform in addition to providing a platform for promoting democratic ideals. Likewise\, agricultural productivity would become a vibrant symbol of the success of democracy in a post-revolutionary environment. With a decided nod to Enlightenment ideals\, horticulture as a branch of intellectual inquiry developed as an important field of study in America for political as well as economic reasons while in the scientific community the propagation of native fruits and vegetables was coupled with a strong desire to promote American varietals. Such nationalistic associations with food allowed for poignant expressions of commitment to the new nation. In their own ways\, these culinary activities codified and spread the themes of republican values in a cogent and material manner\, thus firmly establishing its success in ways more powerful than presidential addresses or ratified documents ever could. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert\, feel free to bring your brown bag lunch to enjoy during the talk. Please RSVP by August 1 and indicate the program name and date by calling (860) 236-5621 x238 or emailing rsvp@chs.org. \nMore information on Professor Siegel: \nNancy Siegel is Professor of Art History at Towson University and specializes in American landscape studies\, print culture\, and culinary history of the 18th and 19th centuries. Her current project\, Political Appetites: Revolution\, Taste\, and Culinary Activism in the Early Republic\, investigates the intersection among American art and political/horticultural/culinary histories. Most recently\, she led the seminar\, “Culinary Culture: The Politics of American Foodways\, 1765-1900\,” for the Center for Historic American Visual Culture at the American Antiquarian Society\, Worcester\, MA. She has authored/edited The Cultured Canvas: New Perspectives on American Landscape Painting (2012); River Views of the Hudson River School (2009); Within the Landscape: Essays on Nineteenth-Century American Art and Culture (2005); Along the Juniata: Thomas Cole and the Dissemination of American Landscape Imagery (2003); and The Morans: The Artistry of a Nineteenth-Century Family of Painter-Etchers (2001).

SUMMARY:200 Years of Innovation: The Legacy of the American School for Deaf
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a FREE presentation by historian Rebecca Edwards (Rochester Institute of Technology) in conjunction with our exhibit Language\, Culture\, Communities: 200 Years of Impact by the American School for the Deaf. \nThe story of the American School for the Deaf is one of  remarkable educational innovation. In addition\, Connecticut deaf history\, as represented by the American School for the Deaf\, is the very foundation of the larger story of American deaf history. The founding of the American School for the Deaf therefore represents a truly transformative breakthrough for the lives of deaf people in both Connecticut and in the United States. This lecture will  place the American School for the Deaf at the heart of American deaf history and explore how the innovative practices of the American School for the Deaf have shaped the lives of deaf Americans for 200 years. \nThis lecture will be American Sign Language (ASL) interpreted. \n \nThe lecture is free\, but please RSVP to let us know you will attend at (860) 236-5621 x238 or rsvp@chs.org. \nRebecca Edwards is Professor of History at Rochester Institute of Technology. She joined the RIT faculty in 1998 after earning a Ph.D. in American history at the University of Rochester. Her research is focused on the impact of deaf individuals in society\, and changes in the societal and sociological understanding of deafness. Her book Words Made Flesh: Nineteenth-Century Deaf Education and the Growth of Deaf Culture (The History of Disability) (2012)\, “explores the educational battles of the nineteenth century from both hearing and deaf points of view. It places the growth of the Deaf community at the heart of the story of deaf education and explains how the unexpected emergence of Deafness provoked the pedagogical battles that dominated the field of deaf education in the nineteenth century\, and still reverberate today.” \n

SUMMARY:Speak Up at CMCH: All-day Beginning Storytelling Workshop with Speak Up co-founder Matthew Dicks
DESCRIPTION:Speak Up co-founder and 26-time Moth StorySLAM winner and four time GrandSLAM champion Matthew Dicks will be teaching a day-long workshop on the art of storytelling. This is a workshop designed for people with little or no any previous storytelling experience and seeks to meet the goals of a wide range of participants. While many workshop graduates have gone on to tell stories on stage for Speak Up\, The Moth\, and other storytelling organizations\, most students take this beginner-level workshop with little or no desire to ever take the stage. People want to learn about storytelling for personal and professional development\, to meet new people\, to improve communication skills\, to develop their writing ability\, to challenge themselves\, to finally get the attention of grandchildren and colleagues\, and to try something new.\nIncluded in this workshop will be:\n• Methods for generating ideas for stories from your life experiences (you have more stories than you realize!)\n• Games designed to generate new story ideas\, develop the ability to speak extemporaneously\, and apply the skills taught in the class\n• Structuring an effective story\n• Stakes and lies in storytelling\n• Development of humor\n• Performance techniques\n• The 16 Most Important Rules of Storytelling \nThis is a no-risk\, low stakes introduction to storytelling that does not require students to speak in any way. If you’d like to dip a toe into storytelling and learn some of the most effective\, easiest applied strategies to the finding and crafting of stories but you’re not yet ready to stand before an audience and speak\, this workshop is a safe place for you to learn. Due to the amount of information presented\, there is very limited opportunity for participants to present stories of their own. \n$85 CMCH members\, $95 non-members. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. \nREGISTER ONLINE HERE. \nQuestions? Contact Jenny Steadman at (860) 236-5621 x289 or by email at jennifer_steadman@chs.org.
