Remember the feeling of staying up late under the covers with a flashlight, absorbed in a National Geographic or library book about ancient Egypt, Rome, or some faraway place? Postcards From the Past aims to bring that sense of wonder back—and turn it into a way of learning.

In this engaging artist talk, Boston Public Schools educator and illustrator Rosangeline Fleming explores how art can make history approachable, spark curiosity, and help us think more critically about the stories we encounter. Originally created to help her teenage students build vocabulary and connect classroom history to the world around them, this talk is to inspire curiosity in people of all ages and backgrounds—including those who would never call themselves “history buffs.”

Join us to rediscover the past through art, curiosity, and a fresh perspective. This talk is open to anyone, including families, caregivers and educators. This reservation includes food, drinks, artists' talk and networking.

Special preview! Rosangeline’s Postcard Club prototype will be on display in the gallery lobby from October 16-November 13.

RSVP to attend coming soon!
