Confronting a Problematic Legacy90-minute session
Location: Hilton Albany, Governor E Day/Time: Sunday, April 7 // 1 - 2:30 PM About: As caretakers of the Bush House Museum, the Salem Art Association has a special responsibility to look closely at the historical record and, when evidence of oppression or racism comes to light, to acknowledge wrongdoings in an honest and upfront manner. And yet, simply condemning past racism is not enough. At SAA, we believe in the power of art to not only educate, entertain, delight, and dazzle, but to simultaneously interrogate, stimulate, and challenge. With these goals in mind, our team is re-imagining and re-inventing our programming and our curatorial work, particularly as it relates to the intersection of contemporary art and historical sites. In our talk, we will share some of the history surrounding this house and then discuss our process for making change, including issues such as defining community, sharing power, and working with artists. In New York State, New York State Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation invested $20 million for the renovation of Philipse Manor State Historic Site buildings, grounds, and a new permanent exhibition with the goal to secure the structure and reinterpret the Manor's history to help visitors better understand the complex relationships that took place at the Manor from its construction during the Dutch Colonial period to the American Revolution and beyond. Presenters: Tammy Jo Wilson, Director of Bush House Museum Exhibits & Programming, Bush House Museum, Salem, Oregon
Lavada Nahon, Interpreter of African American History, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation
Michael Lord, Historic Site Manager, Philipse Manor Hall Site
