Smithsonian exhibit: Between Fences
Date/Time: 07.01.11 - 08.21.11 -
Location: Snow Hill branch of Worcester Co. Library
Description:
The Julia A. Purnell Museum and the Snow Hill community have been expressly chosen by the Maryland Humanities Council to host "Between Fences" as part of the Museum on Main Street project – a national/state/local partnership to bring exhibitions and programs to rural cultural organizations. The exhibition will tour six communities in Maryland from September 2010 through August 2011.
Through a selection of artifacts, photographs and illustrations, Between Fences will surprise audiences with its exploration of the multiple meanings behind this everyday icon. Whether made of split rails, decorative white pickets, or tall chain link, a fence conveys information about the people who built it, how they view and use their property, and the nature of their relations with their neighbors. Such barriers speak eloquently about how we view our communities and country as well. Between Fences explores the implications of fences in Colonial America, around gated communities, and at our country’s borders with Canada and Mexico.
The exhibit can be seen at the Snow Hill branch of the Worcester County Library.
