This year’s event centers around the theme of land sovereignty with an amazing panel discussion featuring indigenous leaders\, activists\, and experts. Our panelists include Rachel Beth Sayet\, Rhonda Anderson\, Ella Nathanael Alkiewicz\, and Anthony Melting Tallow\, with Jason Montgomery from Attack Bear Press moderating. \nRachel Beth Sayet\, or Akitusut (She Who Reads)\, a member of the Mohegan Nation. Sayet brings a unique perspective to the discussion\, having been raised with the spirits of her ancestors\, learning traditional stories and teachings\, and actively participating in tribal events. With a passion for her Mohegan heritage and a deep commitment to studying and understanding other cultures\, Sayet’s background in history\, anthropology\, and food makes her a compelling and insightful speaker. Sayet’s wide-ranging experiences and expertise will provide invaluable insights into Native culture\, history\, land and food sovereignty initiatives\, making her a captivating speaker at our event. \nRhonda Anderson\, an Iñupiaq-Athabascan from Alaska\, will share the creation story of Ohketeau Cultural Center and the incredible\, first-of-its-kind relationship of a true partnership\, reciprocity\, and land back with Double Edge Theatre in Ashfield\, Massachusetts. Anderson’s activism spans a wide range of topics\, from Indigenous identity and land acknowledgments to environmental protection and reproductive rights. She’s a classically trained Herbalist\, Silversmith\, and is actively engaged in educating Native students in Massachusetts. Her insights into dismantling settler colonialism and her extensive work on various Indigenous panels and roundtables will shed light on meaningful ways to address centuries of land dispossession. \nWe’re also pleased to welcome back Anthony Melting Tallow\, Bo’taan’niis (Flying Chief)\, a Visual Artist\, Public Speaker\, Poet\, and Indigenous social justice advocate. An enrolled member of the Blackfoot First Nation of Treaty Seven Territory in present-day Southern Alberta\, Canada\, and a current resident of Chicopee\, Massachusetts\, Anthony Melting Tallow is a passionate representative of the contemporary native experience. He employs his artistic talents to reframe the past\, present\, and future\, bringing honor to indigenous people.Anthony Melting Tallow’s work addresses critical issues\, including land dispossession\, intergenerational trauma from residential schools\, reframing indigenous voices\, the misappropriation of native imagery\, and violence against indigenous women\, girls\, and Two Spirit people. His powerful voice and creative vision serve as a catalyst for change and social justice within Indigenous communities. \nElla Nathanael Alkiewicz (she/her) is a versatile individual\, blending her self-taught artistic and poetic talents with formal training in early childhood education\, journalism\, Native studies\, and nonfiction writing. She’s an advocate for Indigenous causes and has been instrumental in establishing Indigenous People’s Day in Easthampton\, MA. Alkiewicz is a beneficiary of the Nunatsiavut Government and actively contributes to the arts community. Her dedication to her Inuit heritage is reflected in her artwork\, which has been showcased in group exhibitions and galleries across Massachusetts and internationally. Alkiewicz has earned several awards and grants\, and she also shares her knowledge by teaching and conduction workshops. This will be her second year vending at Wistariahurst Museum for our Indigenous Heritage Celebration\, are we are delighted to welcome her back. \nJason Montgomery is a Chicano of Indigenous Californian/Mexican heritage\, is a writer\, painter\, and community artist hailing from El Centro\, California. In 2016\, he co-founded Attack Bear Press in Easthampton\, MA. His work navigates the intersection of Chicano/Indigenous identity\, cultural hybridization\, post-colonial reconstruction\, and political agency. Montgomery’s writing and visual art draw from early cubist collage and Russian abstract movements\, melding them with living and historical Transborder Indigenous and Chicano art traditions to explore the post-colonial narrative through active synthesis and guided (re)construction. Wistariahurst had the pleasure of collaborating with Jason Montgomery this year on his Death of Lake Cahuilla exhibit and his work with the Holyoke Community Ofrenda. After the panel discussion\, visitors can partake in the Indigenous makers fair and explore Montgomery’s current art exhibit\, The Death of Lake Cahuilla and hear from him what inspired his work and how it centers around this year’s theme. \nThis amazing event is sponsored by the MCC Festival Grant and food for the event is being sponsored by The Greater Holyoke Council for Human Understanding\, making food and admission for this event absolutely free. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with the community\, learn about vital issues and immerse yourself in rich\, cultural expressions.

Rushing’s engagement with letterforms is the bedrock of her practice\, and a point from which she examines physics\, philosophy\, psychology. A philomath and amateur cosmologist\, Rushing’s interests span Simulation Theory\, String Theory\, Optimistic Nihilism\, fallacies\, and semiotics. The nature of our world and how we understand it are at the core of this work.  \nRushing’s career in design spans 15 years of experience in graphic design\, marketing\, branding\, UX design\, and front-end development. She received her BFA from Louisiana Tech University in 2009 which provided a fine art foundation for her career. \nIn 2019\, her branding work for a Dallas city council candidate was hailed as a ‘master class in visual political communication’ by D Magazine. She is also a sought-after speaker in design\, development\, and accessibility\, having shared her insights with prominent organizations such as Shopify UX\, CreativeMornings\, Texas Woman’s University\, and the National Student Show and Conference. \nPassionate about keeping the arts accessible\, Rushing will provide a free workshop on Broad Line Calligraphy using simple Crayola Markers.

Do you spend the whole time dreaming of Spring? Stop! There’s a lot to enjoy about the winter\, and we’re taking inspiration from The Little Book of Hygge (pronounced hyoo · guh). The closest English synonym would be Cozy! \nThis group meets on Thursdays for 10 weeks\, beginning October 26 and ending January 11. \nEach week we’ll meet together to talk about a chapter or two and a different concept from the Hygge Manifesto\, namely Atmosphere\, Presence\, Pleasure\, Equality\, Gratitude\, Harmony\, Comfort\, Truce\, Togetherness\, and Shelter. The Cozy Bookclub doesn’t just talk about cozy higgle\, though; we’re about it! Feel free to bring your own fiber project\, wether embroidery\, crochet\, knitting\, or hand sewing\, this is an opportunity to work on (or learn!) a fiber-based craft. Some general guidance and sample projects will be provided\, but participants are encouraged to follow their passions and bring their own projects to the circle. We don’t want cost to be a reason someone can’t join in\, so participation is free with a suggested donation of $5-10 at the door to cover the cost of operating and snacks. \nIf you register for the cost of the book\, it’ll be mailed to you ahead of the class. If you have a copy\, feel free to sign up below and bring it with you!

Do you spend the whole time dreaming of Spring? Stop! There’s a lot to enjoy about the winter\, and we’re taking inspiration from The Little Book of Hygge (pronounced hyoo · guh). The closest English synonym would be Cozy! \nThis group meets on Thursdays for 10 weeks\, beginning October 26 and ending January 11. \nEach week we’ll meet together to talk about a chapter or two and a different concept from the Hygge Manifesto\, namely Atmosphere\, Presence\, Pleasure\, Equality\, Gratitude\, Harmony\, Comfort\, Truce\, Togetherness\, and Shelter. The Cozy Bookclub doesn’t just talk about cozy higgle\, though; we’re about it! Feel free to bring your own fiber project\, wether embroidery\, crochet\, knitting\, or hand sewing\, this is an opportunity to work on (or learn!) a fiber-based craft. Some general guidance and sample projects will be provided\, but participants are encouraged to follow their passions and bring their own projects to the circle. We don’t want cost to be a reason someone can’t join in\, so participation is free with a suggested donation of $5-10 at the door to cover the cost of operating and snacks. \nIf you register for the cost of the book\, it’ll be mailed to you ahead of the class. If you have a copy\, feel free to sign up below and bring it with you!

These festivals\, at the main temple of Tenochtitlan\, the Aztec capital\, were also about state religion\, ritual sacrifice\, and promoted the never-ending warfare of the Aztec empire. \nThese ceremonies were also known to the Azteca as the Bestowal of Flowers\, and the Feast of the Old Fire God. There’s clearly much more to the Dia de Muertos than face painting and guacamole. \nUsing original source material\, I’ll explore the indigenous\, pre-Hispanic roots of what has become\, for Mexicans\, a magical and powerful commemoration and celebration of loved ones who have passed. \nJay Savage studied history of science at Harvard and Cornell and is a big fan of the theory of knowledge\, though much about the Aztecs can’t be known.

His first pictures\, made with a 35mm Olympus OM1 camera\, were of old mill buildings\, bridges and canals. The six or so years of photographic work from which this exhibition was taken had its beginning as Mr. Marcy was leaving Holyoke. As he approached Newton Street\, he saw a teenage boy doing wheelies up the hill on his BMX bike framed by a beautiful old advertisement painted on the side of a brick building. He took out his camera and took a photograph. This was witnessed by some other children\, who asked him to take their pictures. He made prints and gave them to the young people he had photographed. He resolved to pursue this new connection and see where it might take him. \nThis exhibit of a portion of Marcy’s work was curated and captioned in 2022 by students in Latinx Literature and Latinx Politics classes at Holyoke Community College\, under the direction of Raúl D. Gutiérrez and Mark S. Clinton\, respectively.

DESCRIPTION:The Holyoke Ethnic Studies program is a vital aspect of the Holyoke Public Schools which provides students with the opportunity to learn about the world at large during a time when education is being confined to a single story. Holyoke’s Ethnic Studies Program seeks to empower all students to engage socially and politically and to think critically about the world around them. It is important for Ethnic Studies courses to document the experiences of people of color in order for students to construct counter narratives and see themselves reflected in their learning. \nOver the summer\, Holyoke Ethnic Studies partnered with Wistariahurst Museum and the UMass College of Education to employ Holyoke students to archive the important history of the Ethnic Studies program from 2013 to 2022. During the five weeks we collaborated with people that work with public art\, education\, historical research and more. These six young adults were given an opportunity to gain workplace skills\, expand on their Ethnic Studies education\, and connect with their community in new ways. \nWe invite you to Wistariahurst Museum for our opening night\, October 6\, 2023 from 5pm – 7pm\, the youth archivists will be presenting on their project and unveiling their summer work in an exhibit titled “Shining Light on the Truth: Uncovering the Counter Narrative.” The exhibit will show the work that the youth archivists achieved. There will be music\, fun activities and refreshments for the attendees. After opening night\, the exhibit will be open during museum hours through October 14\, 2023.

Quite the contrary\, I find the mills to be stately\, powerful representations of so much of the city’s shared history. \nHave you ever looked at the grandness of our mills? Every time I pass one\, I see something different. It could be the shape of a window\, the color of an entrance\, the slope of the roofline\, or the reflections in the canals.  In painting these simple parts of our city\, I think of the many waves of people who have come here to work in those mills and to make Holyoke their home.
