SUMMARY:LECTURE & DEMONSTRATION: Women & Their Wardrobes During New England’s Revolution
DESCRIPTION:The Web They Wove: Women & Their Wardrobes During New England’s Revolution \nwith the Dirty Blue Shirts\, Historians\, Scholars\, and Artists \n$15 (Members 10% discount) \nPurchase tickets here \nUnderpinning the sensationalism of battle reports and broadsides regarding the Revolution is the often-silent steadiness of women’s work with textiles. The choices they made every day about fashion\, fabric consumption\, and creation drove the course of war just as determinedly as any congress. As southern New England commemorates the 250th anniversary (semi quincentennial) of the War for Independence\, it is these local lives dressed fully in wool or spun silk that continue to inspire creativity\, resilience\, and empathy in us today. From the mythology of homespun to legends of midnight rides in red cloaks and calashes\, the Dirty Blue Shirts share stories of women who waged war on multiple fronts as well as a look at what they wore as their worlds turned upside down. \nThis program is presented by costumed historians and includes reproduction clothing pieces & fabric samples as well as a PowerPoint presentation with images of extant originals. \nThis exhibition is made possible with the generous support of the Samuel Freeman Charitable Trust\, the David T. Langrock Foundation\, HSB\, Department of Economic and Community Development\, Connecticut Office of the Arts\, Bouvier Insurance (a HUB International Company)\, CT Humanities as part of its America 250 | CT program\, as well as donors to the Exhibition Fund and the Annual Fund. Media sponsor: WSHU Public Radio.\n  \n    \nEducational & Travel Program Refund Policy\nNo refunds for Broadway bus trips or Miss Florence’s Teas after transaction is complete. Refunds for programs over $20 are subject to a $20 cancellation fee. Refunds (less $20 fee) are offered for cancellations made prior to a program’s noted refund date. Programs without a refund date can be cancelled one hour prior to event. No refunds after program takes place.
