The film takes viewers on a tour of key sites on Pakachoag Hill (now commonly known as College Hill or Mt. Saint James) and discusses them through a Native American perspective and through the stories they tell of environmental change. It covers Nipmuc relations with colonial settlers and the Jesuit community from the 1500s to today. \nWe are particularly excited to show this film for the first time at (and indeed on!) the Prior Center\, whose site is featured at the start of the film. There was a time when all Holy Cross students knew of Pakachoag\, but that knowledge has been lost. This film seeks to revive a widespread knowledge of the indigenous identity and significance of Pakachoag Hill and today’s larger Worcester region. \nThe documentary brings together primary resources from the American Antiquarian Society\, the Holy Cross Archives\, the Worcester Historical Museum and other repositories\, with perspectives from three narrators: Cheryll Holley of the Nipmuc Nation\, Thomas Doughton\, Nipmuc historian and Senior Lecturer at the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies at Holy Cross\, and Colin Novick\, environmental historian and Executive Director of the Greater Worcester Land Trust. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n September 4\, 20247:30 PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nOutdoor Film ScreeningPrior Performing Arts Center URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/pakachoag-where-the-river-bends/ LOCATION:OUTDOOR FILM SCREENING – Patterson Amphitheatre at The Prior –\, 1 College St\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Holy Cross Community ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/pakachoag-where-the-river-bends.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240821 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20241221 DTSTAMP:20260408T172532 CREATED:20240709T204125Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241205T175210Z UID:2098-1724198400-1734739199@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Blue Profundity: Contemporary Artists Revisit a Color DESCRIPTION:Above: Michelle Samour\, Blue (detail)\, 2019\, handmade paper pulp drawing\, specimen pins\, 10’ x 20’ x 5” (installed).

Gerald Cantor Art Gallery\n \n \n \n \n \n Blue Profundity: Contemporary Artists Revisit a Color\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nThis exhibition features contemporary artists who incorporate blue in their work to highlight the symbolic and historic meanings of the color. Blue is celebrated as a marker of socioeconomic status in history\, a symbol of cultural pride and economic exploitation\, and as a metaphor for sadness and depression. Artworks such as blue-and-white porcelain\, hand-pigmented paper pulp\, and cyanotype photography explore these concepts by updating forms and materials to reflect current-day concerns with a nod to historical precedent. Confirmed artists include Adam Chau\, Ifé Franklin\, Michelle Samour\, Heather Evans Smith\, and Andrea Pettway Williams. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n August 21-December 20\, 2024 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free Entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nIris & B.
