On view at Mystic Seaport Museum, “Entwined: Freedom, Sovereignty, and the Sea” is a major exhibition centering maritime histories in Indigenous, Africa, and African descended worldviews and experiences. Unraveling the threads of existing maritime narratives for the history of the Dawnlands (New England), Indigenous dispossession, and racialized slavery, this exhibition is rooted in voices and histories that have been silent or silenced.
“Entwined” is the culminating exhibition for the Reimagining New England Histories (RNEH) project organized by the Simmons Center at Brown University, Williams College, and Mystic Seaport Museum and generously funded by the Just Futures Initiative of the Mellon Foundation.
Join us on Saturday January 17 at 1pm for special closing ceremony featuring remarks by two RNEH collaborators, Dr. Akeia de Barros Gomes, Visiting Scholar & Adjunct Lecturer at the Simmons Center and Dr. Mack Scott, Visiting Assistant Professor of Slavery & Justice at the Simmons Center.
Program included with price of museum admissions.
