Join Maine Humanities Council and Maine MILL for a conversation guided by archival materials from the Bates Mill design department that are currently on display in our Pattern & Process exhibit. We will examine the ways our understanding of artistry, industry, and personal identity have shifted over time in a conversation facilitated by Joe Hall, Associate Professor of History at Bates College. Participants will be encouraged to share their personal insight as we explore these themes and learn from each other’s perspectives. Free to attend – register here.

This conversation is part of a pilot program in community history by Maine Humanities Council. MHC will be partnering with Maine MILL and other organizations for future community history events later this year.
