Perspectives of a Pluriverse


Opens February 22


Mariposa Museum

We live in a world with as many perspectives as there are human cultures… and species. This exhibit for all ages celebrates the diverse plants and animals on our earth (and beyond), as well as different cultural ideas for humankind’s role on a biodiverse planet, as glimpsed through the folk art of many cultures. Our planetary future may hinge on our willingness to let go of our own cultural assumptions and learn from the perspectives of others.

Shake Up Winter

Foot-stompin, holler-folk

 

February 29, 8 pm


Peterborough Town House
1 Grove Street, Peterborough


Spend an evening with The Ghost of Paul Revere. "We grew up listening to Radiohead and the Beatles and Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd," says Griffin Sherry, guitarist/singer in The Ghost Of Paul Revere. "Everyone assumed we were a bluegrass band because we were playing these traditional instruments, but we weren’t writing traditional music. We were just writing songs with the instruments we had." The result is a sound that the Portland, Maine-based band describes as "holler folk," not because it involves a lot of hollering, per se, but because it invokes the rich communal tradition of field hollers, with their call-and-response melodies, sing-along hooks, and densely layered harmonies. This sense of musical camaraderie is essential to everything The Ghost of Paul Revere does.
