SUMMARY:Mystic Project JustFlix Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Mystic Project invites you to the second public screening of works from its JustFlix program\, in which youth participants from the Medford Housing Authority learn the art of modern storytelling by creating digital videos on cell phones\, telling their stories of social justice\, community justice\, and beyond. The films\, to be shown from 6:15 to 7 p.m.\, reflect on the interplay between the participant’s experiences\, their ideas of justice\, and the strengths of their community. \nThe second part of the program\, from 7 to 8 p.m.\, will feature “Sankofa vs. Veritas\,” a talk by Tamara Lanier\, the plaintiff in the Lanier v. Harvard reparations lawsuit. In that case\, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court held that Lanier\, seeking possession from Harvard of daguerreotypes of her enslaved ancestors\, was not entitled to possessory rights to the images\, despite plausibly alleging tort claims for emotional distress. \nThe nonprofit Mystic Project’s highest priority is to promote equitable initiatives that expand opportunities for membership and participation for all members in the community to be leaders and change makers. Recognizing\, reinforcing\, and celebrating the healthy\, thriving\, and diverse community where we live is its goal. In addition to JustFlix\, The Mystic Project runs Artrepreneurs\, a program in which Medford Housing Authority youth create artwork from recycled materials and then market their wares\, and the Moments in Medford Calendar project. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Black Walnut Tie-Dye Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Royall House & Slave Quarters invites teens and adults to a Black Walnut Tie-Dye Workshop with textile artist Stephen Hamilton\, who will lead the instruction using abundant black walnuts growing on the museum grounds to explore African tie-dye techniques. As a Black American trained in traditional West African artforms\, Hamilton treats the acts of weaving and dyeing as ritualized acts of reclamation. He uses traditional techniques and materials native to West Africa to reclaim ancestral knowledge dissociated from Africans in the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade. A graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design\, he has exhibited his work throughout Greater Boston and and was part of MFA Boston’s recent “Touching Roots: Black Ancestral Legacies in the Americas” exhibition. Workshop attendance is free but registration is required through Eventbrite. \n

SUMMARY:Royall House Tours Closing Day
DESCRIPTION:The Royall House & Slave Quarters concludes its 2023 guided tour season today. Tours are offered at 1\, 2 and 3 p.m. No reservations are required. Admission for guided tours of the mansion is $10 for adults; $8 for seniors; $5 for students; $2 for EBT or WIC cardholders; and free for children age 12 and under\, Tufts University students\, Blue Star Families\, and Massachusetts Teachers Association members or retirees. Admission to the Slave Quarters\, which also houses the archaeological exhibit\, gift shop\, and restrooms\, is free of charge. Groups of 10 or more can arrange private tours for weekdays or Saturday mornings. \nIn the eighteenth century\, the Royall House & Slave Quarters was home to the largest slaveholding family in Massachusetts and the enslaved Africans who made their lavish way of life possible. Today\, the Royall House & Slave Quarters is a museum whose architecture\, household items\, archaeological artifacts\, and programs bear witness to intertwined stories of wealth and bondage\, set against the backdrop of America’s quest for independence. The Slave Quarters is the only remaining such structure in the northern United States\, and the Royall House is among the finest colonial-era buildings in New England. \n
