This walk-through of “A World in the Making: The Shakers,” free and open to the public, will be co-led by artist Amie Cunat and scholar Jayna Brown. Cunat will invite visitors inside her large-scale meetinghouse installation to discuss how historic Shaker architecture fuels her visual practice. Jayna Brown, a professor of theatre arts and performance studies at Brown University and the author of “Black Utopias: Speculative Life and the Music of Other Worlds,” will center the groundbreaking legacy of Philadelphia’s own Rebecca Cox Jackson and Rebecca Perot, both co-founders of the only Black-led Shaker settlement. Register to attend.
