The exhibition The Shakers: A World in the Making explores the belief system and material world of the Shakers, an American religious group founded in the late 18th century, and their lasting influence on art and design today.
This talk will examine how the Shakers’ worldview shaped their production and architecture, their 20th-century legacy, and the many ways artists and designers continue to draw on the Shakers as a framework for envisioning a better world.
The Lecture is supported by the Ida and Conrad H. Smith Fund.
