January 5, 2024
long for a sea-bath and hope that the salt will heal what ails us (2018)" On view through February 4, 2024. How do memory, place, nature, and the afterlives of slavery and colonialism connect? What possibilities do video (as a medium) and beauty (as an aesthetic approach) offer artists interested in these connections? In the water between us remembers…, an immersive video installation now on view in SCMA's Video and New Media Gallery, artist Deborah Jack takes up these questions and contends with past and present representations of the Caribbean as a tropical paradise.

Springfield Materials Recovery Facility Tour
January 18, 2024
The Springfield MRF is one of 9 materials recovery facilities (MRFs) in Massachusetts, and the only one owned by the Commonwealth. See how the MRF receives, sorts, and processes thousands of tons of recyclables each month. Why can’t the MRF take plastic bags, scrap metal, or light bulbs? How can Springfield take cartons but none of the other MRFs can? We will see why! We have a limit of 20 visitors, so register early (link below). Tours are free to MassRecycle members, and $25 for non-members.
