SUMMARY:Southern Furniture & American Identity: MESDA Furniture Seminar
DESCRIPTION:American colonists and Americans in the new republic experienced one constant: change. From changing political identities\, geographic boundaries\, and conceptions of freedom\, American lives constantly evolved. This seminar will explore the ways that craftspeople and cabinetmakers navigated this ever-shifting political and social landscape and the ways that they reflected shifting American and European tastes and identities in their work. \n\n\n\nYou can join us in Winston-Salem or online for this two day seminar. Participants will engage in two days of lectures\, including a keynote address by Dr. Tiffany Momon\, Director of the Center for Historic Preservation\, Middle Tennessee State University and Founder of the Black Craftspeople Digital Archive\, as well as opportunities to participate in pre-conference workshops and a furniture open house in MESDA’s study galleries.
