SUMMARY:2nd Shift Concert: The Folk Collective
DESCRIPTION:“Folk & Femme: In Full Bloom” is a celebration of the Divine Feminine — a journey through the many layers of womanhood\, sisterhood\, and feminine energy. This show dares to move beyond the physical definitions and roles that patriarchy has long used to confine femininity. It reclaims and redefines what it means to embody the feminine — not as a set of limitations\, but as a boundless source of power and possibility. \nFeaturing captivating performances by Naomi Westwater\, Pamela Means\, Alma Vatya\, and Photocomfort\, this event highlights the voices and stories of cis women\, transgender women\, non-binary individuals\, and all who embody the essence of the Divine Feminine. \n

SUMMARY:2nd Shift Concert: Robinson & Rohe
DESCRIPTION:“…a portrait of togetherness and honest\, defiant joy in a messy world.” —Anaïs Mitchell \nThe Brooklyn-based songwriter duo of Liam Robinson (banjo\, accordion\, vocals) and Jean Rohe (guitar\, vocals) were brought together over fifteen years ago by their mutual love of afternoon song-swaps\, American folk ballads\, and wordplay.

SUMMARY:Mill Talk: Denim culture—past\, present\, and future
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Mill Talks collection. \nIncludes a screening of “Riveted: The History of Jeans.” \nThe Charles River Museum is at the site of Francis Cabot Lowell’s first cotton textile mill\, and it was cotton manufacturing that powered the Industrial Revolution. Now\, jeans are the iconic American fashion staple that almost all of us own. Fashion history professor\, curator\, and author Emma McClendon will join us as we screen the acclaimed PBS documentary\, “Riveted: The History of Jeans.” The production features McClendon and other experts tracing the history and culture of jeans\, and their place in Americans’ self-image. \nMcClendon will engage in an interactive discussion about where she sees the future of jeans as a fashion item\, utilitarian garment\, and manufactured product. She has a special interest in the sustainability of denim production\, and the ways in which jeans have become not just clothing\, but a way of expressing individuality and identity. This is sure to be a thought-provoking conversation around an article of clothing that\, at any given moment\, literally half of the planet’s population is wearing. \n

SUMMARY:Mill Talk: Tariffs and Trade\, Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Mill Talk: Tariffs and Trade\, Then and Now \nPresented by Professor Bryan Snyder\, Bentley University and Professor Lawrence Peskin\, Morgan State University \nIn 1816\, Francis Cabot Lowell was in Washington DC lobbying Congress to pass the first protectionist tariff in American history. In the aftermath of the War of 1812\, the burgeoning cotton textile industry he had fought so hard to build was imperiled by the cheap dumping of British imports. By building a coalition between Northern industrialists and Southern plantation owners\, Lowell was successful in arguing that tariffs would ensure that American domestic manufacturing should be protected\, and that the federal government’s trade policy had a duty to so. \nNow\, tariffs are back in the political conversation\, and the efforts around the Tariff of 1816 and its consequences are as relevant as ever. Join us as we engage in a dynamic conversation connecting the past\, present\, and future of tariffs and trade policy to their effects. Economist Snyder and historian Peskin will draw lessons from American history to inform our understanding of economic policy today. \nRegistration required. \nMill Talks at the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation are free and open to the public and are made possible by the generous support of the Lowell Institute.

SUMMARY:2nd Shift Concert: Mike Block
DESCRIPTION:“Peerless” and “pioneering” are words that get thrown around a lot\, but visionary cellist\, songwriter\, and vocalist Mike Block is the kind of talent that more than lives up to such distinctions.\nFrustrated by the stationary constraints of conventional cello playing (i.e.\, sitting down)\, Block invented a strap that allows him to stand while carrying the instrument against his body. The resulting physical freedom amplifies the dynamism and virtuosity of his performance style\, and is echoed in his varied approach to nearly any genre of music.\nWell-regarded for his work in Yo Yo Ma’s classical crossover smash The Silk Road Ensemble\, as well as several of his own varied groups\, Block is also a prolific singer and songwriter\, and will focus on showcasing those talents in his 2nd Shift series debut.\nYou haven’t seen another artist quite like Mike Block\, and you’re not going to want to miss this performance.
