Fabrication: Telling Stories Through Clothing

The colloquialism “weaving a tale” is used when someone tells a long and intricate story. The act of creating textiles is both a metaphor for and an example […]

Kevin Carr is the second of two artists […]

Discussion & Book Signing: God’s Free-Man
Discussion & Book Signing: God’s Free-Man
Join us as Ted Freeman discusses his book God’s Free-Man, a deeply personal narrative that combines family and history. Freeman’s work challenges past perceptions that his ancestors—Harry and Kate Freeman—were enslaved when they arrived to co-found modern-day Auburn with John Hardenbergh in 1793. What is certain, however, is their central place not only in establishing the African American community of the new settlement, but in building it from the ground-up. Freeman follows his family through the generations as they left their mark […]
