Ahhhhh, who doesn't love a good micro-film ASMR video? Oh wait... Is it just us...? 📽️ Microfilm readers, also known as microreaders, bring history to life by magnifying tiny images and text stored on rolls of film.

Art has the power to ignite change, challenge injustice, and unite communities. Join us for an interactive workshop where you’ll dive into the bold world of art and activism.
Discover how artists use imagery, symbolism, and public spaces to make their voices heard. Explore the impact of murals, posters, and street art in shaping movements, and learn how to express your own message through creative techniques like stencil-making, introductory printmaking and silkscreen-style methods and layered designs and more!
Leave inspired, with your own artwork and new skills to amplify your voice long after the workshop ends. Ready to leave your mark? 🎨✊

Signed on September 30, 1809, the Treaty of Fort Wayne transferred nearly 3 million acres of Native land in present-day Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio to the United States. Although some tribal leaders supported the agreement, others, including Shawnee leader Tecumseh, opposed it as a threat to Native sovereignty. The treaty heightened tensions across the region and contributed to Tecumseh's War and the outbreak of the War of 1812.
Visit Promised Lands: California's Unratified Treaties and Native Resilience when it opens October 3rd.
Painting of Tecumseh based on an 1808 sketch. Platinum Print with watercolor by Owen Staples (1866-1949) made in 1915 based on Benson John Lossing 1868 engraving. Toronto Public Library.
