November AHA! Night: Casting A Wider Net
Thursday, November 14 | 5:00 PM | Fishing Heritage Center | Free
Our next Gallery Exhibit explores the rich immigrant voices of New Bedford’s working waterfront. This exhibit is the culmination of Casting A Wider Net, a community oral history project developed by New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center to collect and share stories of Cape Verdean, Vietnamese, Mexican, Central American, and Puerto Rican members of the fishing community. The resulting photographs, recordings, and transcripts will also become part of FHC’s archive and uploaded to the NOAA Voices web-based archive. Stop by FHC to explore our new exhibit and meet some of the program participants.
Casting A Wider Net is funded in part by a Wicked Cool Places grant from New Bedford Creative and an Expanding Massachusetts Stories grant from Mass Humanities, which received support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
