SUMMARY:Exhibitionists Book Club: Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl
DESCRIPTION:The Exhibitionists are back with another great book club series pairing great books with exhibits currently on display at Shelburne Museum. You might remember Carrie Brownstein as half of the comedy duo that made up the sketch show Portlandia\, but punk rockers remember her from the riot grrrl band Sleater-Kinney. We think her memoir pairs oh-so-nicely with the museum’s Sound\, Art\, and Ink Exhibit of Higher Ground gig posters currently on display at the Pizzagalli Gallery. To help facilitate the discussion\, we’re joined by Kat Redniss\, the museum’s Public Programs Educator.

SUMMARY:Democracy in Our Time: A Discussion of It Can't Happen Here
DESCRIPTION:As part of our Democracy in Our Time series\, we invite you to join us for a discussion of Sinclair Lewis’s novel It Can’t Happen Here. Written in 1935 during the rise of fascism abroad and economic despair at home\, Lewis’s work remains relevant today. Blending sharp political satire with a chillingly realistic scenario\, the novel imagines how authoritarianism could take root in the United States under the guise of populism and moral reform. Described upon release as “a message to thinking Americans\,” It Can’t Happen Here explores the fragility of democratic institutions and the ease with which fear\, misinformation\, and charismatic leadership can undermine them. In an era where democratic norms continue to be tested\, this book offers a powerful starting point for conversation. Copies of the book are available at the first-floor information desk.
