The Aldrich Contemporary Art Mu-seum in Ridgefield is presenting “Hindsight is,” a three-episode podcast series created on the occasion of the exhibition Twenty Twenty, a group show of drawings in which seven artists respond to the lived experience of this historic year, on view Oct. 12 to March 14. Podcast episodes will be released weekly on Oct. 19, Oct. 26 and Nov. 2 and will be available to stream for free on the museum”™s web-site aldrichart.org.
The series includes a range of historical figures from Ridgefield and across Connecticut. Actors from the Piti Theatre Company will “voice” these figures dramatizing social and political issues intensified this year such as voting rights, racism and fascism through their unique perspectives as citizens from the past.
Hindsight is podcast episodes will be accompanied by two virtual public programs, including a talk on Oct. 22 with Tina Cassidy, author of “Mr. President, How Long Must We Wait: Alice Paul, Woodrow Wilson,” and the “Fight for the Right to Vote” and Piti Theatre”™s Jonathan Mirin. The second program, Oct. 29, is an anti-racism workshop with Kristen Ivey-Colson and Lynn Turner of The AntiRacist Table.
