SUMMARY:Free Admission for Indigenous Peoples' Day
DESCRIPTION:On Indigenous Peoples’ Day\, we honor the sovereignty\, resilience and immense contributions of Native Americans. Join us for a free day of special programming to respectfully acknowledge and celebrate Indigenous communities. \nArtist Presentation with Elizabeth James Perry\nNoon–1:30 pm | Main Atrium \n2023 NEA Heritage award recipient Elizabeth James-Perry (Aquinnah Wampanoag) joins us for a presentation of her artistic practice. Her work engages with Northeastern Woodlands Native cultural expressions\, primarily in sculptural forms of wampum shell-carving and bead-making with its connection to identity and sovereignty\, maritime traditions and restorative Native gardening. \nShe is a culture bearer\, lecturer\, educator and plant walk leader in addition to textile\, wampum and quill work. You can find her work on display in On This Ground: Being and Belonging in America. \nFilm Screenings: We Still Live Here: Âs Nutayuneân\n11:30 am–1 pm\, 1–2:30 pm Morse Auditorium\n84 minutes long \nWe Still Live Here: Âs Nutayuneân\, a documentary by award-winning filmmaker Anne Makepeace\, tells the story of the return of the Wampanoag language\, a language that was silenced for more than a century. At the heart of the film is Jessie Little Doe Baird (Mashpee Wampanoag)\, who finds her way from the tiny enclave of Mashpee\, Massachusetts\, to becoming a celebrated linguist honored with a MacArthur ‘genius’ award in 2010 for her unprecedented work in bringing her own Wampanoag language back home. \nWe Still Live Here interweaves the present-day story of Jessie and other Wampanoags reclaiming their language with historical events that silenced the language and obliterated much of their culture – epidemics\, missionary pressures\, land loss and the indenture of Native children. Ruth Lingford’s powerful animation illuminates and deepens the emotional impact of these devastating events\, even as the contemporary story brings a hopeful vision of the future.

SUMMARY:Pieces of Salem: An Anthology of Salem Voices
DESCRIPTION:Join Salem’s Poet Laureate J.D. Scrimgeour and PEM’s Director of Learning and Community Engagement David Snider for the official book launch of Pieces of Salem: An Anthology of Salem Voices. \nPieces of Salem: An Anthology of Salem Voices is like a stroll along a beach\, each step bringing a new\, fascinating discovery — a rock shaped like an ear\, a smoothed bit of sea glass\, the intricate patterns on a glossy shell. Edited by J.D. Scrimgeour\, the collection contains prose and poems from more than 130 citizens who live or work in Salem. Each contribution keeps to a 400-word limit\, a number chosen to commemorate the city’s quadricentennial. Taken together\, the pieces celebrate a famed city marked by ancient tragedy\, but brimming with vitality. \nA book signing and light reception will follow the program. \nThis book was commissioned and compiled as a part of Salem’s 400th anniversary. This PEM Reads event is a part of PEM’s celebration of Salem 400+.

SUMMARY:PEM Presents Vivaldi with Symphony by the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a concert and talk with the North Shore’s professional symphony orchestra\, Symphony by the Sea. Over the centuries\, the four seasons have inspired numerous composers to represent their moods in music. During the Baroque period (1500-1750)\, many composers produced cycles of concertos representing the seasons. Antonio Vivaldi used four sonnets of his own creation as a starting point for the vivid and lively music of his Four Seasons. Follow the sonnets together with Maestro Donald Palma\, then enjoy a virtuosic performance. \nThe program will include a 20-minute talk by Maestro Donald Palma and an approximately 45-minute performance of the Four Seasons\, followed by a light reception. \nPEM Presents is made possible by The Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation.
