About the event

Opening Reception - A Something Overtakes the Mind
On Friday, August 8, from 5-7pm ET, join the artists and the Emily Dickinson Museum for the opening reception of A Something Overtakes the Mind. The opening is free to the public — registration not required.

A Something Overtakes the Mind is a multimedia visual art and poetry installation created by Ligia Bouton and Matt Donovan for the Emily Dickinson Museum. Through explorations of domestic objects, biographical details, found poetry, and community testimonials, the exhibition seeks to find new ways of engaging with the poet’s life and legacy. The exhibition, free to the public during museum open hours, will be installed in the ground floor of the Homestead in the house’s woodshed, laundry room, and kitchen. Visitors to the installation must first check in at the carriage house tour center.
