Jan 12: Wampanoag Art for the Ages, Traditional and Transitional

Sunday, January 12, 2025 10:00 AM

Join us on January 12, 2025 as Lee Roscoe discusses her book, Wampanoag Art for the Ages, Traditional and Transitional, which looks at the lifeway of the Algonquian tribe through their arts. Illustrated with 80 color photos, the book covers pottery, wampum, regalia, matting, painting and more with foremost Wampanoag artisans discussing the how and why of their art. 

In an article from the Provincetown Independent Roscoe states: “For the Wampanoag, there’s no separation between art and life … There’s always a combination of the spiritual with the material. Everything that was created has an element of the sacred in it. So there’s a balance in everything that’s created.”

Lee Roscoe is an award-winning playwright, environmentalist, activist, and author who has been creating work with a social conscience on the Cape and beyond for many years in a variety of formats.

Learn more at 10 a.m. on Sunday, January 12, 2024 at the Chapel in the Pines in Eastham.  Doors open at 9:30. Also on Zoom via this Zoom program link.
