Reading Between the Ship’s Ribs: Introducing Interco(a)stal
What: Maine Conservation Voters hosts regular, free, one-hour webinars focused on important and timely topics. On Friday, Oct. 9 from 12 to 1 p.m., MCV will host a conversation about the Interco(a)stal project, a collaborative effort bringing together researchers, artists, Wabanaki knowledge keepers, museums and community organizations to explore the histories embedded in Bath’s maritime landscape.
One week ahead of The Interco(a)stal Walk on Oct. 18, project leaders Adilah Muhammad (The Third Place), James Eric Francis, Sr. (Penobscot Nation), Andrea Francis (Bomazeen Land Trust) and Meadow Dibble (Atlantic Black Box) will share the project’s origins, creative collaborations and evolving vision for reimagining the Wyoming Evocation, a monument to Maine’s shipbuilding and seafaring heritage at Maine Maritime Museum. Together, they’ll explore how research, art, and community participation can challenge incomplete historical narratives, recenter Black and Wabanaki histories, and open new possibilities for participatory public memory.
When: Friday, Oct. 9, 12-1 p.m.
Where: Online. This is a free event, but you must register to join. Register here.
