SUMMARY:A Sign of the Times: WWI Poster Collection
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Erika Schneider\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Art History & Museum Studies Coordinator\nZoom Program \nWhen the United States entered the Great War in April 1917\, the government launched a full-scale home front galvanization to increase American support and bolster the Allies’ economy.  Some of the most well-known posters include James Montgomery Flagg’s iconic “I Want You” poster and Howard Chandler Christy’s image\, “Fight or Buy Bonds.” As part of this effort\, the US government distributed posters across the country\, mostly to local post offices\, and the Framingham History Center has several of these works.  This presentation considers graphic design in the context of the history of art to demonstrate the influence of established tropes and the ingenuity of early twentieth-century illustrators to establish an American style.

SUMMARY:Reinterpreting the ”Eames Massacre”
DESCRIPTION:In February of 1676\, at the height of King Philip’s War\, an altercation occurred on Mount Wayte between the Eames family and nine Nipmuc men. The fight resulted in the death and kidnapping of multiple members of the Eames family\, and the destruction of the Eames homestead. The “Eames Massacre\,” as it has since come to be called\, has been interpreted as one of the significant moments in Framingham’s history\, and the Eames family has largely been painted as the sole victims. But the truth is that this event was more complex and mutually destructive than the traditional story has led us to believe. Curator Stacen Goldman will reconsider all aspects of the “Eames Massacre\,” its context and its reverberations into the Framingham of the present.

SUMMARY:Collecting Dennison History
DESCRIPTION:Panel of Presenters: Michelle Geller\, Patricia Lavin\, James Parr\, Nancy Prince\, Anita Rotenberg\, & Susan Silva \nGiven the months of stay-at-home directives during the pandemic\, many people have been rediscovering buried treasure in their attics.  As a result\, we have been getting a lot of calls from people wanting to learn more about their Dennison Manufacturing Company ephemera.  Their questions have caused us to dig more deeply into our own vast Dennison collection where we have found even more fascinating facts about the company.  In this way\, Dennison lives on and as Pat Lavin\, author of WELCOME to Dennison Manufacturing Co. says\, “it’s forever giving.”  Pat is among a volunteer corps of Dennison enthusiasts who help us research these questions. \nWhat is it about Dennison products that attracts so many collectors?  Join us for a panel discussion featuring collectors from the East Coast to the West Coast.  They will reveal how they got into collecting Dennison items while displaying some of their most prized possessions over a Zoom webinar\, and the unique ways in which they share their passion for these iconic products. \nTickets can be purchased up until 6pm on 5/6. Questions? Email laura@framinghamhistory.org. *This event is part of the 2021 Program Package*

SUMMARY:AstroNights LIVE: No Planet B: Exoplanets and Earth Appreciation
DESCRIPTION:As we approach Earth day\, our planet – and its unique ability to support life of all kinds – is at the forefront of our minds. For centuries\, humans have looked up at the sky and wondered: is there anywhere out there like Earth? While we haven’t found evidence to suggest the presence of life on the planets close by\, there are plenty of other places to look. This month\, AstroNights is all about the planets outside of our solar system: exoplanets. We’ll talk about how we find them\, how many there are\, and how they compare to our home planet. Plus\, we’ll show you where and when to look in the sky to see some of our nearest celestial neighbors\, Venus and Mars.
