An Evening of Crankies with Katherine Fahey
Metcalf Auditorium, 6:30–8:00 pm
Folk art is not static; it shifts with the times, uncovering new meanings in old words, new ways of talking about the communal pathways that led us to where we are today. For artist-puppeteers Katherine Fahey and Dan Van Allen, crankies (scrolling artwork inside a box) are a way to interpret our uncertain times, to draw artistic inspiration and power from the sources of meaning in their lives.
