SUMMARY:Public Art Walking Tour with artists Elisa Hamilton and Clareese Hill\, in Collaboration with MAAH
DESCRIPTION:Join artists Elisa Hamilton and Clareese Hill on a special artist-led walking tour of their two public art projects\, Glimpses of Glapion and The Black Boston Dream Oracle in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. \n\n\n\nMeeting Point: Boston Common Visitor’s Center \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin artists Elisa Hamilton and Clareese Hill on a special artist-led walking tour of their two public art projects Glimpses of Glapion and The Black Boston Dream Oracle\, followed by a reception and Q&A with the artists at The Museum of African American History at 46 Joy Street\, Boston. The walking tour will begin at Boston Common Visitors Center at 139 Tremont St\, Boston\, at 1:00pm\, with the reception and Q&A at The Museum of African American History beginning at 2:15pm.Emerson Contemporary is thrilled to collaborate with the Museum of African American History (MAAH) for this program. After the walk\, an artist Q&A session will take place at the African Meeting House at 46 Joy 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:
DESCRIPTION:Artist Reception: Free and open to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Emerson Contemporary for an artist reception celebrating Thin Places: Threshold of Transmission\, featuring Beatrice Glow\, Megan and Murray McMillan\, and Sabrina Ratté. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition explores moments when the boundaries between different worlds become less certain\, between past and present\, physical and digital\, human and machine\, and earth and cosmos. Through sculpture\, video\, installation\, and interactive media\, the artists consider how we move between different realms of experience and how technologies\, both ancient and new\, help us make those crossings. \n\n\n\nMeet the artists and experience the exhibition during this opening reception. All are welcome. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Beatrice Glow Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk: Beatrice Glow \n\n\n\nJoin Emerson Contemporary for an artist talk with Beatrice Glow\, whose research-driven practice explores how histories of empire\, migration\, trade\, and cultural exchange continue to shape the present. \n\n\n\nGlow will discuss Textures of Time\, currently on view in Thin Places\, as well as her broader practice\, which begins in archives\, museum collections\, and field research. Working across sculpture\, installation\, video\, performance\, and scent\, Glow transforms historical research into sensory and speculative experiences that invite us to reconsider whose histories are preserved\, how they are remembered\, and how they might be imagined differently. \n\n\n\nAn American artist of Taiwanese heritage\, Glow works in sustained collaboration with Indigenous culture bearers\, researchers\, and museum collections across Asia\, the Americas\, and Europe. Her projects have been presented at The New York Historical\, Baltimore Museum of Art\, Western Australia Shipwrecks Museum\, Park Avenue Armory\, and the Honolulu Biennial\, among others. \n\n\n\nIn conversation with Thin Places\, Glow will consider how objects can carry histories across time and how archives\, digital technologies\, and artistic imagination can become thresholds between past and present. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public.
