SUMMARY:Art is Love: A Talk and Concert at PEM
DESCRIPTION:Know before you go\nIn-person event\nLocation: Morse Auditorium \nIncluded with admission; preregistration encouraged. \nThis program includes moderately loud live music (amplified sound and percussion). \nJoin us for an afternoon of music and dialogue exploring the creative process in contemporary songwriting and performance. This conversation among original works by artists Muriel Teodori\, Kessada and Steve Nieve pays tribute to two of the most iconic figures in modern music: Tom Waits and Elvis Costello. \nThrough conversation\, live performance and personal storytelling\, the trio invites the audience to reflect on the art of creation\, the power of love and the eternal interplay between control and spontaneity in artistic expression. \nThe Talk: Three Angles on Artistic Creation \n1. What is the process of creation in art?\nMuriel Teodori explores the psychological and philosophical dimensions of creativity. \n2. Improvisation: Does it really exist?\nIs improvisation truly spontaneous\, or is it the result of years of structure and discipline? Steve Nieve draws from his classical training and rock experience to explore improvisation as both freedom and illusion. \n3. Production: Can it be Perfect? Control or Freedom?\nIn the age of digital tools and infinite takes\, Kessada questions the obsession with perfection. \nThe Concert: Art is Love \nOriginal songs are woven together with deeply personal interpretations of works by Tom Waits and Elvis Costello — two masters of storytelling through music. Each song\, each note\, is a continuation of the conversation.

SUMMARY:PEM Reads: Nothing More of this Land
DESCRIPTION:Know before you go\nIn-person event\nLocation: Morse Auditorium \nIncluded with admission \nJoin Joseph Lee (Aquinnah Wampanoag)\, author of Nothing More of This Land: Community\, Power\, and the Search for Indigenous Identity for an author talk and Q&A that sparks conversations about Indigenous history and identity and raises awareness of contemporary Indigenous issues. \nBefore Martha’s Vineyard became one of the most iconic vacation destinations in the country\, it was home to the Wampanoag people. Today\, as tourists flock to the idyllic beaches\, the island has become increasingly unaffordable for tribal members\, with nearly three-quarters now living off-island. Growing up Aquinnah Wampanoag\, journalist Joseph Lee grappled with what this situation meant for his tribe. He asks how the community can continue to grow and more broadly\, what it means to be Indigenous. \nAbout the Book \nIn Nothing More of This Land\, Lee weaves his family story into a panoramic narrative of Indigenous life around the world. He takes us from the beaches of Martha’s Vineyard to the icy Alaskan tundra\, the smoky forests of Northern California to the halls of the United Nations and beyond. Along the way\, he meets activists fighting to protect their land\, families clashing with their own tribal leaders and communities working to reclaim tradition. Together\, these stories reject stereotypes to show the diversity of Indigenous people today and chart a way past the stubborn legacy of colonialism. \nThe author and Q&A will take place from 2–3 pm\, followed by a book signing and reception from 3–4 pm.

It was the headquarters for the East India Marine Society\, PEM’s founding organization. This group of 22 sea captains and traders sailed all over the world from Salem and started the oldest collecting museum in America in 1799. East India Marine Hall is the historical and physical heart of the museum; over time\, added gallery spaces have surrounded it. Recently restored to its original elegance\, the building is a National Historic Landmark. \nEast India Marine Hall currently houses nine carved ship’s figureheads that are juxtaposed with amplified music and sea ballads as a part of Scottish artist Susan Philipsz’s exhibition If I With You Would Go. Philipsz uses sound to heighten awareness of space\, emotion and memory. Her choice of a song about a young woman lured away to sea is a mythical and cautionary echo of the mercantile and maritime history embodied in this historic hall. \nObserving art can induce a “flow state” of mindfulness and activate the same part of the brain that more traditional mindfulness practices\, like meditation and yoga\, do. Join us on the first Sunday morning of every month (second Sundays for holiday weekends) in a guided practice of “mindful looking.” Come be still\, relax and connect more deeply with artworks from PEM’s collection.

A project of Framingham-based Fireseed Arts Studios\, lead by artist and musician Patiño Vázquez in collaboration with local musicians and craftspeople\, Johnny Fireseed uses instruments made entirely from upcycled trash and repurposed items to perform original music with an upbeat eco message.

Come hear high-end electric guitars made from old kitchen countertops and drums fashioned from ventilation ducts and popcorn tins in an aesthetic that’s “part Victorian Steampunk with elements of mystic meditations in heart-opening layers of rhythms and harmonies.” Building loops and then improvising over the loops gives the listener a feel for the looks and sound characteristics of each instrument. Audience members are often invited to join in the fun! \nMusic in the Atrium is PEM’s live concert series that features local and visiting performers from a variety of musical traditions and styles. Concerts take place on select Sundays. Explore upcoming shows at pem.org/events.

SUMMARY:Music in the Atrium: Celebrate Mother Earth with Johnny Fireseed
DESCRIPTION:Know before you go\nIn-person event\nLocation: Atrium \nIncluded with admission\nSalem residents and workers always get free admission. \nThis program will contribute to the sound in the Atrium. If you would like to borrow noise canceling headphones\, please pick up a KultureCity bag at the coatroom. \nABOVE IMAGE: Illustrations by Chris Cyr. \nThis month\, our Music in the Atrium series celebrates Planet Earth with live performances by Johnny Fireseed. A project of Framingham-based Fireseed Arts Studios\, lead by artist and musician Patiño Vázquez in collaboration with local musicians and craftspeople\, Johnny Fireseed uses instruments made entirely from upcycled trash and repurposed items to perform original music with an upbeat eco message. The band’s inspiring sound aims to spread a message of joy\, fun and new ways of thinking about consumption and waste far and wide. \nVázquez will be showcasing instruments made from locally harvested trash and live looping to create ambient soundscapes. Come hear high-end electric guitars made from old kitchen countertops and drums fashioned from ventilation ducts and popcorn tins in an aesthetic that’s “part Victorian Steampunk with elements of mystic meditations in heart-opening layers of rhythms and harmonies.” Building loops and then improvising over the loops gives the listener a feel for the looks and sound characteristics of each instrument. Audience members are often invited to join in the fun! \nMusic in the Atrium is PEM’s live concert series that features local and visiting performers from a variety of musical traditions and styles. Concerts take place on select Sundays. Explore upcoming shows at pem.org/events.

SUMMARY:Connie Converse at 100: America's Cassandra
DESCRIPTION:Know before you go\nIn-person event\nLocation: Morse Auditorium \nIncluded with admission\nAdvance registration recommended. \nWhen the music of the previously unknown Connie Converse was released in 2009\, decades after she deliberately disappeared in 1974 (never to be heard from again)\, it created a new reference point in American music\, and a need to rewrite the music history books. \nIn early 1950s New York\, more than ten years before Bob Dylan and his contemporaries popularized the “singer-songwriter” identity\, Converse was writing and performing witty\, introspective\, literary songs for voice and guitar. She was also a brilliant scholar\, visual artist\, activist and public thinker far ahead of her time. \nJoin Howard Fishman\, author of To Anyone Who Ever Asks: The Life\, Music\, and Mystery of Connie Converse\, in conversation with Boston Globe contributor James Sullivan and Trevor Smith\, PEM’s Associate Director–Multisensory Experience and Curator of the Present Tense. \nTheir conversation will cover the Converse family’s long history in America\, dating back to their 1630 arrival in Salem\, and Converse’s relationship to the American songbook. They will also play samples from Converse’s pioneering recordings and haunting melodies. A book signing will follow the talk.
