Join us in the North Forest for a conversation with artist Bethany Collins on her recently installed work, American Hymnal.
For this sound installation, Collins recorded six singers performing different versions of the popular American hymn “America (My Country ‘Tis of Thee),” which has been rewritten more than 100 times with lyrics supporting American causes such as revolution, suffrage, Native sovereignty, temperance, the Confederacy, and abolition.You’ll learn about the installation, her process, and the inspiration behind it all. Don’t miss this chance to meet the person behind the art and get a behind-the-scenes look at an exhibition artist. See you there!
