This event is co-hosted by the Boston Athenaeum and BPL Community History.
Boston artist Allan Rohan Crite both documented and experienced the sweeping changes happening in twentieth century Boston, especially to the South End and Lower Roxbury neighborhoods where he lived. The Leventhal Map & Education Center and BPL Community History teamed up with the Boston Athenaeum teamed up to create an interactive map about Crite’s life and work around the city.
Hear from Ian Spangler (Associate Curator of Digital & Participatory Geography at the Leventhal Center) and G McFarland (artist, archivist, and the Boston Athenaeum's Allan Rohan Crite Exhibition Assistant) about creating this map and how it celebrates Crite’s love of his community. This program is presented in conjunction with Allan Rohan Crite: Griot of Boston at the Boston Athenaeum and Allan Rohan Crite: Urban Glory at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
