Reimagining Paul Revere

Enjoy this special conversation with Boston-based artist Sage Carbone who will discuss her Indigenous beadwork reimagining of Cyrus Dallin’s Paul Revere monument. The beadwork, which will be available for viewing during this program, was commissioned by the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum for display in the Euro-American Figures Gallery with the support of a grant from the Arlington Commission for Arts and Culture. Carbone will share how her art relates to her efforts to elevate the histories and perspectives of Indigenous peoples living in Greater Boston today through such work as the Indigenous Languages Visibility Project in Cambridge and annual Red Sox Native American Celebration.

Sage Carbone is a member of the Northern Narragansett Tribe and has Nipmuc and Mi'kmaq ancestry. This program is offered in conjunction with Freedom’s Way Hidden Treasures program and Arlington 250. Carbone views the semi quincentennial as an opportunity to envision what the next 250 years could look like when we engage with history in ways that uplift everyone.

This event is hosted and co-sponsored by the Arlington Historical Society. Additional co-sponsors include the Old Schwamb Mill and First Parish Unitarian Universalist Arlington Indigenous Justice Working Group.

Admission is free and reservations are not required. The venue is wheelchair accessible.

This program is funded in part by grants from Freedoms Way National Heritage area and from the Arlington Commission for Arts and Culture, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
