SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn – Mary Barlow: Hartford’s World War II Heroine at Connecticut Museum of Culture and History
DESCRIPTION:The Connecticut Museum of Culture and History will host a virtual Lunch and Learn presentation exploring the life and legacy of Mary Jewel Barlow on June 9 from 12 pm to 1 pm. Presented by Orice Jenkins\, the program will examine the story of the Hartford native whose service and sacrifice during World War II have only recently begun receiving broader recognition. \nBarlow was one of only three members of the 6888th Postal Directory Battalion to die in service during the war and one of just four women buried in the Normandy American Cemetery. The presentation will connect her story to Hartford’s historic Clay Arsenal neighborhood and one of Connecticut’s prominent Black families while highlighting genealogical research that restores her place in history beyond fictionalized portrayals. \nThe event also connects to the Museum’s current exhibition\, Drawn Here\, which explores the migration history and culture of Hartford’s North End through graphic novels created by local students and professional artists. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. \nFor tickets and additional information\, visit https://www.connecticutmuseum.org/event/lunch-and-learn-mary-barlow/. Questions may be directed to Jen Busa\, Public Programs Coordinator\, at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org.

SUMMARY:Take me\, take me\, take me . . . to the Palace of Love at Yale Center for British Art
DESCRIPTION:Rina Banerjee’s suspended installation reimagines the iconic form of the Taj Mahal through contemporary materials and perspective. Rather than marble and permanence\, Banerjee constructs her palace from a steel and copper frame wrapped in translucent pink cellophane\, challenging assumptions about luxury\, history\, and cultural legacy. Floating above the ground\, the tentlike structure encloses objects that reference colonial histories\, including an antique Anglo-Indian Bombay chair and a chandelier assembled from foam\, plastic beads\, synthetic elements\, and artificial birds. The work reflects Banerjee’s distinctive practice of combining found objects with consumer materials gathered from markets near her New York home. \nBanerjee\, who received her MFA from the Yale School of Art in 1995\, sees this work return to New Haven for its first display at the museum since its acquisition in 2023. The installation is on view from February 7 through July 26\, 2026\, at the Yale Center for British Art\, 1080 Chapel Street\, New Haven\, CT. The museum is open Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. Admission is free.
