Carving Out Your Story: An Oral History Workshop

What’s your story?
On Saturday April 1, 2023, 1:00PM to 2:30PM ,the Whitman Public Library will host an interactive oral history workshop, Carving Out Your Story. This fun and friendly workshop will help you uncover interesting stories from your life.

  •  Do you have any memories of Whitman Library before it was on the site it is now?
  •  Do you have memories of sledding down the hills of Whitman Town Park?                 
  • Are you a new comer to the area, and you have a memory of growing up in another state different from Massachusetts?

Stories are important. It is how we make sense of the world. There are generations of children who have no concept of what it was like to grow up in the '30’s, '40’s, '50’s, '60’s, '70’s and '80’s. If a story isn’t shared that experience will disappear in history, but if it is rediscovered within a story, it will live on for generations to come. 

This workshop is facilitated by two award winning storytellers, Karen Chace of Freetown, MA. and Abington’s own storyteller, Andrea Lovett. They will guide participants through the process of finding those jewels that deserve to be remembered. Please register at the library or call (781) 447-7613 as space is limited. 

This program is free and open to the public. "This program is supported in part by a grant from the Whitman Cultural Council a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.”

There are 15 spaces available.

Tween Soap Making

 Each participant will make their own soapy creations using glycerin based soap and adding colors and scents. The process does not involve traditional soap making techniques, so there is no lye exposure. Once the soap base has cooled slightly, we will add color, embed the goldfish and plants and add cosmetic grade glitter and essential oil (optional). At the end of the workshop each participant will take home their handmade soap, it can be removed from the mold the following day and used right away. 

BEFORE SIGNING UP PLEASE NOTE:

Children MUST be age 8 or older.

Due to safety concerns, because the melted soap is hot, a caregiver must be hands-on and actively involved with each child under the age of 13 to help with the project. No exceptions will be made.

At the beginning of the workshop an acknowledgement of safety concerns form must be signed by an adult. 

Program starts promptly, no admission is allowed after instructions are given.

We will discuss the process of making cold process soap, blending of essential oils and the role of exfoliants in soap making. There is no lye exposure since the process does not involve traditional soap making techniques. Once the concoction has cooled slightly, we will add the glitter, colors, essential oil (optional) and embed the soap curls.

Pamela Means presents The Power of the Protest Song (Our Shared History and Present Day)

Pamela Means presents The Power of The Protest Song: Our Shared History & Present Day. Part-performance and mini-presentation, this family-friendly public event will explore the origin stories and lineages of protest songs, how their meanings and effects continue to transform through time and space, and how they have inspired--and continue to inspire--movements and cultural shifts within the realms of racial and social justice. In addition, Pamela will also share her own experiences with becoming an artist and using her voice. A curated assortment of original songs and select, recognizable covers will be integrated into the presentation as a powerful demonstration of how grounding, unifying, and mobilizing protest songs can be.

Pamela Means is an Easthampton MA-based Out(spoken), Biracial, independent artist whose “kamikaze guitar style” and punchy provocative songs have worn a hole in two of her acoustic guitars. Armed with razor wit, timing of a stand-up comic, an engaging presence, elegant poetry, and irresistible charm, Pamela Means’s “stark, defiant songs” (New York Times) set the status quo and the stage afire.

Pamela’s commitment to interrogating social ills was fostered by her unique childhood. “As the adopted daughter of a white mother and black father, I learned about dismantling systems of oppression from the inside out.” Pamela received her first guitar at the age of fourteen, just after her mother died of cancer, and it soon became Pamela’s primary vehicle for expression. It would also serve as a passport out of a life that consisted of poverty, foster homes, and the inner city life of hyper-segregated Milwaukee WI.

Pamela Means relocated to Boston, busked in the city subway and famed Harvard Square, founded her own record label and began touring. Pamela has since performed on three continents and across the country, gaining fans and rave reviews from Anchorage to Amsterdam, Sydney to Stockholm, San Francisco to Honolulu to New York, breaking album sales records at national festivals and sharing stages with Pete Seeger, Neil Young, Shawn Colvin, Joan Baez, Richie Havens, Gil Scott-Heron, Adrian Belew, Violent Femmes, Holly Near and more. Means has also been the recipient of several nominations and music awards in multiple categories. 

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Whitman Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
