SUMMARY:Augmented Reality Public Art Walking Tour: Elisa Hamilton and Clareese Hill
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 4\, 2025\, 2-3:30pm \n\n\n\nJoin artists Elisa Hamilton and Clareese Hill on a special artist lead walking tour of their two new public art projects Glimpses of Glapion and The Black Boston Dream Oracle in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Meet at the Boston Common Visitors Center\, 139 Tremont Street\, Boston\, MA.  \n\n\n\nElisa Hamilton’s project Glimpses of Glapion will present a series of digital vignettes honoring the life and legacy of Louis Glapion. Glapion was a French\, biracial hairdresser and barber who\, together with his friend George Middleton\, built and owned what is now considered the oldest extant house in Beacon Hill\, located at 5 Pinckney Street. While more is known about Middleton\, the artist’s research has uncovered glimpses of Glapion that speak to an interesting and noteworthy life based in Beacon Hill. Hamilton seeks to honor Glapion and enliven curiosity about his lived experiences in our city. The AR experience will be available on Hoverlay and accompanied by a research document designed for educational purposes.  \n\n\n\nClareese Hill’s The Black Boston Dream Oracle is a speculative reimagining of The Complete Fortune Teller and Dream Book written by Chloe Russel\, a 19th-century Black woman from Massachusetts. By blending historical wisdom with future-focused fabulations\, the Black Boston Dream Oracle will provide a unique space for reflection\, healing\, and imagining new possibilities for liberation and collective well-being through early Black feminist thought. The Oracle will be presented as an Extended Reality (XR) experience available on the Hoverlay application\, accompanied by a web-based research document designed for educational purposes.

SUMMARY:Lecture by Ruth Clemens: “Cultures\, Technologies\, and Media of the Sonic War Machine."
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday October 14\, 12-1pm  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLecture by Ruth Clemens\, “Cultures\, Technologies\, and Media of the Sonic War Machine.” Focusing on aural media and forgotten sound technologies from the early 20th century\, this lecture presents a story of unexpected consequences that connects the international Dadaist avant-garde to 1940s Hollywood to military technologies and communication systems. \n\n\n\nClemens’ broad research interests cover film\, cultural analysis\, and comparative literary studies. Her work explores the intersections between textuality and materiality\, media and politics\, and language and technology. Her research interests are varied\, with through-lines of critical post-humanism and the avant-garde across media\, film\, sound\, and visual arts and the materiality of culture. \n\n\n\nLocation: Media Art Gallery\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston\, MA
