Join us on Wednesday\, December 21st for a free virtual lecture and open discussion to explore why residents of Essex County use the powerful tool of communal storytelling to explain the unexplainable and understand the unknowable.\n\nREGISTER HERE: https://enduranceoffolklore.eventbrite.com\n\nLauren McCormack\, Executive Director of the Marblehead Museum\, will discuss how the robed Wizard Dimond used “magic” to calm stormy seas and bring sailors safely home – and why his neighbors embraced these skills instead of reacting with mass hysteria and hangings\, such as was seen in Salem merely 20 years before. Miranda Aisling\, Head of Education & Engagement for the Cape Ann Museum\, will relate why old tales of a mysterious sea serpent off the shores of Gloucester have been integrated into modern renovations of the museum. Come join us in exploring how the power of story helps us learn about the history of the Heritage Area and feel more comfortable in the world around us.\n\nRedefining Heritage is an ongoing discussion series presented by Essex Heritage. This program invites audiences to participate in a conversation about the natural\, cultural\, and historic resources of the Essex National Heritage Area. Heritage professionals\, regional advocates\, businesspeople\, and other experts present new perspectives on topics that are often overlooked or seen as unchanging. Experts engage with the audience in thinking about how they can be more actively involved in areas of heritage such as conservation\, arts advocacy\, expanded historical awareness\, and other themes relevant to a more inclusive and engaged community. In our evolving and diverse world\, it is especially important for all of us to understand important issues from a variety of angles to be more informed citizens.\n\nThis program is supported by a grant from the Bridge Street Fund\, a special initiative of Mass Humanities.

This project is a creative and educational arts initiative started by the Punto Urban Art Museum (PUAM)\, a program of North Shore Community Development Coalition (NSCDC). Inspired by the traditional Muñecas sin Rostro made by Liliana Mera Limé\, an artist and pottery worker from the town of Moca in the Dominican Republic\, the project invites individuals to combine creativity and narrative through the creation of a unique paper doll in a few basic steps. As a celebration of heritage\, these stories will represent and help preserve the diverse identities that reside in El Punto. \nREGISTER HERE: https://redefiningheritagefacelessdolls.eventbrite.com \nSince Spring of 2021\, the PUAM and Salem Maritime ran a series of workshops both virtually and in-person at NSCDC’s community space\, Espacio in el Punto. Each workshop involves three components: storytelling\, designing\, and building. The storytelling portion allows participants to answer prompts about their own heritage and how they perceive elements of their heritage through their senses and memories. Participants translate these stories into drawings\, stamps\, words\, and more that they design onto the paper doll template. Lastly\, everyone builds their doll into its proud\, three-dimensional form\, finishing with the iconic faceless head. \nNSCDC’s goal is to grow the Faceless Dolls Project over time as a way to consistently gather\, celebrate\, and honor community stories through mindfulness and craft. It serves as a way for neighbors and friends to get to know each other better. \nThe National Park Service at Salem Maritime National Historic Site partnered with NSCDC to co-create an exhibit featuring dolls and stories by residents of El Punto (Salem’s Point neighborhood). The exhibit celebrates Salem’s global community\, Caribbean connections\, and Latino stories. \nJoin Yinette Guzman\, Design & Placemaking Project Manager for the NSCDC\, and Nora Halloran\, Education Park Ranger for the National Park Service at Salem Maritime and Saugus Ironworks National Historic Sites to learn more about this ongoing initiative\, explore the intersections of art and history\, and how the use of art can help us tell continuing stories of culture\, from past to present. \nFollowing the presentation\, there will be a moderated Q&A. Live captions are available during this presentation. \nAbout the speakers: \nNora Halloran\, Education Park Ranger at Salem Maritime and Saugus Iron Works National Historic Sites. Nora joined the education team at Salem Maritime in 2018. Her primary focus is interpretation and education on the history of slavery in Essex County. Originally from California\, Nora has worked in National Parks across the country for 10 years. Prior to arriving in Massachusetts\, she worked in Everglades National Park in Florida. \nYinette Guzman is a designer\, multidisciplinary artist\, and advocate who is passionate about community engagement. At North Shore CDC\, Yinette spearheads the Punto Urban Art Museum (PUAM)\, where she curates and manages new and existing murals. Yinette’s goal with PUAM is to build a deeply connected art museum that not only represents the community but is also community made. In the future\, Yinette’s focus is to bring more Immersive (special exhibits) works to PUAM to narrate the stories of the residents of the Point in Salem\, and expand from murals to sculptures. Yinette worked developing 3Dimensional architectural models for Architect Moshe Safdie practice in Somerville MA for over 10 years. At the firm\, Yinette led the digital computing tools for the model making team. As an immigrant of the Dominican Republic\, Yinette believes in giving back to the community through mission work\, collaborating with local partners and leading local church groups.

She holds a BFA in Architecture from Massachusetts College of Art & Design. \nRedefining Heritage is an ongoing discussion series presented by Essex Heritage. This program invites audiences to participate in a conversation about the natural\, cultural\, and historic resources of the Essex National Heritage Area. Heritage professionals\, regional advocates\, businesspeople\, and other experts present new perspectives on topics that are often overlooked or seen as unchanging. Experts engage with the audience in thinking about how they can be more actively involved in areas of heritage such as conservation\, arts advocacy\, expanded historical awareness\, and other themes relevant to a more inclusive and engaged community. In our evolving and diverse world\, it is especially important for all of us to understand important issues from a variety of angles to be more informed citizens.
