Lucy Burns Museum Learning at Lunch - Counting the Days
The Lucy Burns Museum at the Workhouse Arts Center is proud to present the second season of Learning at Lunch, a series illuminating aspects of the former prison’s 91-year history. Each month, we invite an expert to tackle a topic from our complicated past. After a brief 30-minute talk, presenters answer audience questions, and all attendees are invited to visit the museum following the program. Table seating provided and attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch; snacks and beverages available for purchase.
The Lucy Burns Museum’s preserved cell block was added to the historic building in the 1980s, as the prison grappled with an increasing prison population. Karim Mowatt, co-curator of our new installation Counting the Days, spent time in our cell block in the late 80s and early 90s. Mowatt describes his memories of his time incarcerated and how he approached curating the installation.
