Celebrate World Day of the Deaf at the New England Aquarium with ASL-proficient divers and programming

WHAT: The New England Aquarium and <a href="https://atomichands.com/">Atomic Hands</a> are partnering to celebrate World Day of the Deaf on September 29. This program will include two dives in the Indo-Pacific Coral Reef exhibit with American Sign Language (ASL)-proficient divers, and other activities aimed at celebrating and raising awareness of the Deaf and hard of hearing community. The dives will be taking place from 2 to 4 p.m. with the first dive from 2 to 2:30 p.m. and the second dive from 3 to 3:30 p.m.   WHO: Dr. Barbara Spiecker, a deaf marine ecologist and co-founder of Atomic Hands, will be one of the divers signing to guests from inside the Info-Pacific Coral Reef exhibit. To gain more work experience between receiving her master’s and pursuing her PhD, Dr. Spiecker was a volunteer diver in the Giant Ocean Tank at the Aquarium. This was one of the first moments she realized she was in a unique position to make STEM fields more accessible to those in the deaf community.     Dr. Barbara Spiecker conducts quantitative modelling of intertidal and subtidal macroalgae ecosystems to better understand the complexity of scale and pattern in these ecosystems and how the patterns may alter in response to climate change. She is also very involved in developing STEM-specific educational resources in ASL, consulting on bilingual K-13 STEM instruction, and performing standardized test translation. WHY: Dr. Spiecker and Atomic Hands co-founder Dr. Alicia Wooten discovered they were both experiencing challenges of English-centric learning, lack of networking with deaf STEMists, and frustration of not being able to access science videos in a spoken language. In forming Atomic Hands, they are:<ul><li>Fostering wonder and curiosity in STEM fields through the production and dissemination of ASL-centric resources</li><li>Empowering the community to expand ASL by developing and delivering engaging STEM-related topic through creative language play</li><li>Encouraging collaboration and networking opportunities among current and future deaf STEMists and the community</li></ul>

100 Yards of Hope: A Mission to Restore the Ocean and Revitalize Human Purpose – A Screening and Panel Discussion 

What happens when former combat veterans, marine scientists, and conservationists join in a shared mission to preserve and restore our ocean? In 2019, the National Football League and its Miami Super Bowl Host Committee formed a unique partnership with the nonprofit FORCE BLUE to address two seemingly unrelated problems—the rapidly declining health of ocean resources and the difficulty returning combat veterans have adjusting to civilian life.<a href="#_msocom_1" target="_blank">[SM1]</a>&nbsp;<a href="#_msocom_2" target="_blank">[SM2]</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; Join us for a special screening of 100 Yards of Hope, a documentary film showcasing FORCE BLUE’s work to restore Florida’s coral reefs. Learn how an elite team of special operations veterans united with University of Miami marine scientists and conservationists to create a model for caring, cooperation, and positive change that is transforming lives and restoring our planet. A moderated panel discussion follows. Free of charge and open to the public, this screening is presented in partnership with the Lowell Institute, NFL Green, and the Foundation for a Green Future, Inc. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the program starts promptly at 6:30 p.m. ++ About: FORCE BLUE is a nonprofit organization that unites combat veterans with the marine science and conservation communities. FORCE BLUE recruits the most highly skilled, highly trained individuals within the veteran Special Operations community, trains them under the tutelage of marine scientists and conservationists, then redeploys them on missions of preservation and restoration around the globe. The result is a work force capable of achieving great things for themselves, their families, the communities FORCE BLUE serves and the planet as a whole. In addition to coral restoration and rehabilitation, FORCE BLUE works to mitigate coral disease, remove marine debris, conduct underwater surveys, map shipwrecks, eradicated invasive species, assist with marine mammal and reptile rescue, and conduct scientific research and development, including shark tagging. &nbsp; NFL GREEN is the National Football League's environmental program that has worked since 1993 to reduce the environmental footprint of mega-events and build green legacy projects in the communities that host those events. In partnership with Verizon and led by Jack and Susan Groh, NFL GREEN has planted nearly 300,000 trees in communities across America, built community gardens, restored native habitat, and developed special projects around coral restoration, kelp forest rescue, and river ecosystem restoration.

Lorraine O’Grady brings critically acclaimed Both/And exhibit to the Davis Museum

<a href="https://lorraineogrady.com/">Lorraine O’Grady</a> ‘55, a critically acclaimed contemporary artist and cultural critic, returns to the Boston area with her retrospective exhibition<a href="https://www.wellesley.edu/davismuseum/whats-on/upcoming/node/205126"> Lorraine O’Grady: Both/And</a>. This landmark exhibition will coincide with a performance art series, both of which are free and open to the public Both/And will be on view at<a href="https://www.wellesley.edu/davismuseum"> the Davis Museum at Wellesley College</a> from February 8 to June 2, 2024. The Museum will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., beginning Feb. 9. Lorraine O’Grady: Both/And is the first major career survey of the renowned conceptual artist whose work has long challenged prevailing understandings around gender, race, and class. Originally organized by the Brooklyn Museum in March 2021, the exhibition charts the development of O’Grady’s artistic oeuvre, which spans collage, photo-installation, performance, and video. It brings focus to the artist’s skillful subversion of the “either/or” logic inherent in the Western philosophical canon, and explores her longstanding commitment to the reasoning of “both/and.”  O’Grady’s work deals with a range of overlapping themes: Black female subjectivity in Western modernity and artistic modernism; hybridity and diasporic experience; multiplicity and selfhood; colonialism and slavery; and intersectional feminist theory and praxis. Through her deployment of the diptych as both an artistic and conceptual strategy, O’Grady calls for an anti-hierarchical approach to difference within the categories of Black and white, self, and other, West and non-West, and past and present.   As a Black woman, a native New Englander and child of Caribbean parents, O’Grady has made art as a means of self-exploration as well as cultural critique. Born in Boston to Jamaican parents, she was educated at the Girls Latin School before studying economics and Spanish literature at Wellesley College (class of 1955). O’Grady became the first Wellesley graduate to pass the U.S. Federal Management intern exam, after which she received a coveted job at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Turning to artmaking in the 1970s, she first exhibited her work at Wellesley in 1994 as part of the Body as Measure exhibition. The Davis Museum acquired her “Sisters” quadriptych from that show.

Old North Church & Historic Site Presents Silent No More: Women in the Haitian Revolution

Enslaved women represented nearly half of colonial Haiti’s plantation populations and performed much of the same physical labor as their male counterparts. However, few women are identified in archival records as having taken part in the revolutionary struggle. On Wednesday, May 15, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. join Dr. Crystal Nicole Eddins, author of Rituals, Runaways, and the Haitian Revolution: Collective Action in the African Diaspora, to learn about the Haitian Revolution to abolish slavery and create a free and independent Black nation in the Americas. An Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Eddins will draw on African and African diaspora perspectives to shed light on the ways that enslaved women may have contributed to the revolution for freedom and liberation. This virtual event is accessible with a donation of any amount to support Old North Illuminated, the nonprofit that stewards Old North Church. The 2024 Speaker Series is brought to you in part by HUB Town Tours. To register, please visit: <a href="https://www.oldnorth.com/events/" target="_blank">https://www.oldnorth.com/events/</a>.
