SUMMARY:Making Meaning and Memories: The Creation of the Lexington Women’s Monument with Meredith Bergmann\, Celeste Freeman and Jessie Steigerwald
DESCRIPTION:This special panel event features sculptor Meredith Bergmann\, designer of the newly unveiled Lexington Women’s Monument. The work is called “Something Is Being Done” and this panel will include both descendants of women commemorated in the monument\, as well as members of the LexSeeHer Research Team. The monument recognizes more than twenty women and girls. Learn more about both the creation of the monument\, and the way community members have engaged with the work since the unveiling. \nFor over 40 years\, Meredith Bergmann has been making sculpture that deals with complex themes in an accessible\, beautiful\, and provocative way. Working within the tradition of narrative sculpture\, she draws on her love of history of art\, literature\, and mythology to make the past speak to the present. Blending the sensuality and power of representational sculpture with her own subtle sense of mischief\, her work evokes multilayered responses. She works on both public and private monuments\, exploring issues of history\, social justice\, race\, human rights\, different abilities\, and the power of music and poetry. Her work has been shown in more than two dozen exhibitions and appears in over a dozen institutional collections. Her public commissions include the Boston Women’s Memorial on Commonwealth Avenue in the Back Bay\, the Women’s Rights Pioneers Monument in New York City’s Central Park\, the FDR Hope Memorial in Roosevelt Island\, and The Lexington Women’s Monument. \n  \nTickets: https://lexingtoncommunityed.org/class/hurley-event-photography-making-meaning-and-memories-the-creation-of-the-lexington-womens-monument-with-meredith-bergmann-celeste-freeman-and-jessie-steigerwald/

SUMMARY:Rick Beyer's Amazing Campaign for History's Hidden Heroes
DESCRIPTION:Nearly 20 years ago\, while living in Lexington\, author and filmmaker Rick Beyer learned the incredible story of the WWII deception units known as The Ghost Army. He soon launched a quest to tell the world about their exploits\, and to make sure what they did would never be forgotten. That led to the Ghost Army documentary (2013)\, the book (2015)\, and finally the Congressional Gold Medal (2024)\, the highest honor Congress can bestow. \nNow Rick returns to Lexington to recount his epic Ghost Army journey. It began on a winter’s day in a Lexington coffee shop\, and after innumerable twists and turns\, culminated in a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol presided over by the Speaker of the House. Rick will share insights\, anecdotes\, and behind-the-scenes adventures from this wild 20-year ride that so many people in Lexington took part in. All illustrated with rarely seen photos and footage. A story about what it really takes to see history preserved and remembered. \n“The Ghost Army” is one of those remarkable projects where the underlying story of bringing the history to light winds up nearly as compelling as the historical tale itself. Rick Beyer will share both those stories June 13. \nTickets: $10 members\, $15 nonmembers\, $5 veterans\, active duty military FREE. Tickets on EventBrite or at the door
