SUMMARY:Opening reception for Vanishing Ecologies: Speculative Futures exhibit
DESCRIPTION:NEW BEDFORD — The New Bedford Art Museum hosts an opening reception for a new exhibit\,  Vanishing Ecologies: Speculative Futures\, which explores artistic responses to the Anthropocene — the era in which human activity has reshaped the planet — and imagines what might follow it. \nThrough painting\, sculpture\, installation\, and time-based media\, artists confront climate change\, mass extinction\, and the lingering shadow of the post-atomic age\, while probing the accelerating entanglement of technology and time. \nSome works trace the fragile thresholds between collapse and adaptation; others speculate on post-human futures\, ecological resilience\, and planetary memory. Together\, the visions ask how we narrate an ending that is also a beginning\, inviting viewers to consider their place within deep time and the uncertain worlds still unfolding. \nThe reception is free.

SUMMARY:AHA! Queer Film at New Bedford Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:The New Bedford Art Museum will show Ira Sachs’s new film\, “Peter Hujar’s Day\,” starring Ben Wishaw and Rebecca Hall in a richly cinematic rendering of a conversation recorded in 1974 between photographer Peter Hujar and writer Linda Rosenkrantz. \nTheir talk that day focused on a single 24 hours in the life of Hujar\, the brilliant and uncompromising artist who was one of the most important figures in downtown New York’s legendary cultural scene of the ’70s and ’80s. \nSet entirely in Linda’s Manhattan apartment\, the film recreates that long-ago afternoon and the  discursive exchange between these two singular individuals. As the photographer vividly describes interactions with leading cultural figures of the day\, including Allen Ginsberg and Susan Sontag\, as well the challenges of living on limited financial resources in ’70s New York\, “Peter Hujar’s Day” transforms unexpectedly into a Bloomsday-like rumination on both an artist’s life and time itself. \nThe free film starts at 8 p.m. \nAbout Professor Mocha: Mocha J Herrup is a senior lecturer in the Communications\, Journalism\, and Media Department at Suffolk University. Mocha is also an award-winning filmmaker and  experienced film festival programmer. They hold a PhD in Radio-TV-Film from the University of Texas at Austin.
