Opening Reception, Paths to Freedom by John Dowell
Join McKissick Museum as we celebrate the opening of Paths to Freedom by John Dowell. Guest curator Dr. Frank Martin will introduce the exhibition and discuss the interpretive framework he brings to Dowell's work, which contextualizes the historical importance of cotton in African American visual culture.
This event is free and open to the public. No advanced registration is required.
About the exhibition:
Philadelphia artist John Dowell's digitally-altered photographs, staged in moonlit cottonfields, conjure the spirits of his enslaved ancestors as they sought their freedom from bondage. Inspired by a series of dreams of his grandmother, Paths to Freedom contemplates the ancestral legacy of slavery and the power of intergenerational connections. Viewers are taken on an immersive journey via artwork, installation, and soundscape through the darkness toward freedom.
Admission Cost: Free.

Concert # 1: JAC Redford – WORLD PREMIERE ,
Friday, June 23 7:30 pm ,
Conductor: Maestro Gregory Buchalter, The Metropolitan Opera

The 2023 Muzika! Festival will feature the world premiere of two of composer J.A.C. Redford’s most recent concert works, Symphony #2: A Plague Journal (2020) and Muzika! Fanfare (2022). The concerts will also feature Redford’s Homing (2017), a four-movement cantata for mixed chorus and orchestra with texts by the composer.
The largest of these works, Symphony #2, was written as the composer and his wife were sheltering in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, he titled his symphony A Plague Journal. However, the music is not specifically programmatic. It is rather a diary of the musical thoughts that occurred to the composer in the midst of the pestilence, not a description of it. Nevertheless, Redford says that he was “aware while composing that…

Lunchtime Tour: Small Embellishments
Join guest curator Rachel McKeown for a lunchtime tour of the exhibition Needlework: Women's Unspoken Art Form. Using examples on display, McKeown will discuss how embroidery took center stage in the 19th century as a way for females, from adolescence to adulthood, to express their creativity by adorning everything from household textiles to fancy clothing.
This event is free and open to the public. Participants will meet in McKissick's second-floor lobby at noon.
About the exhibition:
More than a required skill for girls and women in the 19th century, hand sewing was an act of creative expression. From functional household textiles, to clothing, to home décor accents, small embellishments made a big statement as an indicator of women's artistry and imagination. This exhibition asks viewers to closely examine the quality of the needlework, rather than the type of textile, on display.
