For February: In Pursuit of Silence
Wednesday, February 26th
6:00pm - 8:00pm
Patrick Shen's documentary explores the beneficial effects of silence on our lives. He has created a contemplative and cinematic experience that works its way through frantic minds and into the quiet spaces of hearts. He aims to show that excessive sound can negatively affect our bodies as well as our minds.
*Guest facilitators may attend to assist with conversations about the film.
The Mount Wachusetts Community College is hosting a lecture by author Art Spiegelman. His book, Maus, was selected for the 2019/2020 Community Read.
Maus tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler’s Europe, and his son, a cartoonist coming to terms with his father’s story. The book, “an epic story told in tiny pictures,” succeeds in “drawing us closer to the bleak heart of the Holocaust” (The New York Times).
