ONLINE: LIVE MULTIMEDIA PERFORMANCE Finding Home: WE ARE STORIES

April 24, 2020 @ 7:00 pm EDT - 8:30 pm EDT


This production, directed by high school senior Eliza Keenan, is based on four personal visual immigration stories created by artists David Macaulay, Frances Jetter, James McMullan and Yuyi Morales and featured in the current exhibition Finding Home: Four Artists’ Stories. These stories are woven with Berkshire County Immigrant Stories collected over the last six months in Berkshire County, MA to connect themes from the exhibition with real stories from the community surrounding the Museum.

To set the stage, the show begins with a video portrait of Norman Rockwell’s process for creating the painting, the Golden Rule. The artist and Berkshire Immigrant Stories follow, and the show concludes with an original song by student Fiora Laina.

Originally developed to be performed live at the Mahaiwe Theater on March 13, 2019, students quickly pivoted to produce this online experience.

Land Acknowledgement

It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, who are the indigenous peoples of this land on which the Norman Rockwell Museum was built. Despite tremendous hardship in being forced from here, today their community resides in Wisconsin and is known as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.
