SUMMARY:Discovery Museum Speaker Series Event: How Art Can Inspire Civic Engagement in Kids
DESCRIPTION:Civic engagement is not just about voting and government—it encompasses all the ways in which individuals take action and get involved in their communities. Inspiring young people to invest in the advancement of society is about empowering children to embrace and recognize the gifts they bring to their communities. Chanel Thervil\, Discovery Museum’s Inaugural Artist-in-Residence\, will speak about her experience helping children consider what they love about their communities\, so they see a place for themselves in making their communities better. \nChanel Thervil is a Haitian American artist and educator who uses varying combinations of abstraction and portraiture to convene communal dialogue around culture\, social issues\, and existential questions. She’s been making a splash in New England via her educational collaborations\, public art\, and residencies with institutions that support the uplift of community creativity. She is excited to continue this work through her residency with the Discovery Museum.

SUMMARY:Lowell Walks: Portuguese in Lowell
DESCRIPTION:Join researchers and archivists from the University of Massachusetts Lowell’s Portuguese American Digital Archive\, Nikki Tantum\, Gray Fitzsimons\, and Nicole Catarino on a walk around the Back Central neighborhood. In the late 1800s\, increasing demands for cotton cloth production provided jobs and opportunity for the first Portuguese immigrants arriving in Lowell. In the decades that followed more Portuguese immigrants moved to the city and wove their lives and cultures into the neighborhood of Back Central\, creating a new community that still exists today. \nThis walk will highlight these stories just as the photography exhibit “The Portuguese in Lowell: The Familiar and the New” does\, but through a different lens. This exhibit highlighting photographs captured by Pedro Letria is on display at the Boott Cotton Mills Museum through February 2025. \nJoin us for this upcoming Lowell Walks event\, a guided walking tour. Tours are about 90 minutes\, are free\, and include a moderate amount of walking. No reservations are necessary\, and tours are conducted rain or shine. \nFree parking is available where the tour meets: Portuguese American Civic League of Lowell\, 512 Central Street.

SUMMARY:Lafayette Redux: Exploring the Man and the Mania
DESCRIPTION:How does it happen that Americans are still staging rituals of adulation for Lafayette\, cheering him on Broadway\, 190 years after his death? It’s entirely fitting\, as it turns out\, because if anyone is suitable for immortality\, it’s the Marquis. Come explore why the man may well have been even greater than his myth\, with one of the nation’s leading Lafayette aficionados\, Alan Hoffman. He’ll talk us through Lafayette’s triumphs and setbacks\, his astonishing accomplishments\, and the lessons his life holds for each one of us and for our society. \nDoors open at 6:30 for refreshments. \n$10 members\, $15 nonmembers

SUMMARY:Sounds of Labor in Lowell: Agriculture and Early Industry
DESCRIPTION:What does the history of work in Lowell sound like\, and how can you tell that story through music? Come be part of the musical composition process in the first of a series of workshops on the soundscape of Lowell through its many eras! Join contemporary composers working on new pieces specifically for Lowell National Historical Park as they explore the labor of the Agriculture and Early Industry eras. Attend a ranger-led talk\, attempt hands-on activities\, and have a chance to discuss the compositions in progress. No musical knowledge necessary! \nParticipants can plan to meet at the Lowell National Historical Park Visitor Center (246 Market Street). A guided tour will walk to the Boott Cotton Mills Museum (115 John Street) and attendees can expect about half a mile of walking. \nLowell National Historical Park visitors may park at the Hamilton Canal Innovation District parking garage at 350 Dutton St.\, Lowell. Parking in this garage (only) is available to National Park visitors at no cost provided they obtain a valid parking voucher at either the Lowell National Historical Park Visitor Center at 246 Market Street\, or at the Boott Cotton Mills Museum at 115 John Street. \nThis program is made possible through a grant from the National Park Foundation through generous support from the Mellon Foundation\, and with our programming partner\, Mosaic Lowell.
