Maureen Cummins and Nicole Cooley, two former AAS Creative and Performing Artist and Writers Fellows will return to discuss their collaborative project entitled Salem Lessons. This work is a limited-edition artist book that features a slate-covered container and a "chorus of voices" that provide multiple perspectives on the experience of the Salem Witch trials of the 1690s. Together these voices--of both accusers and executed-- tell the story not only of what happened during that terrible time, but also--through images of copy-book pages kept by a Salem boy a century later--of the psychic reverberations that lasted long after the trials ended.
