2024 Artist-In-Residence Talk with Clara Riedlinger

2024 Artist-In-Residence Talk with Clara Riedlinger

Sat., August 24 | 5 PM | Hybrid | Oneida Community Mansion House

This talk, given at the Oneida Community Mansion House, will discuss the project of one of the Erie Canal 2024 Artists-In-Residence, Clara Riedlinger. Clara’s project focuses on the spiritual history of the Western New York landscape known as the Burned Over District – where the dramatic reshaping of the landscape by the Erie Canal signaled a new era of religious strangeness, philosophical experimentation, and political reinvention whose currents still flow strongly just under the surface of present-day American culture. A photo walk on the grounds of the Oneida Community Mansion House will follow this talk.
