The exhibit highlights photographs Dylan Kubis has taken of the Village over the past year. Kubis, who has Down syndrome, states that “Hancock Shaker Village speaks to me as a photographer in many ways.

Artist Shany Porras explores the intersection of sound and sight through a collection of mixed media paintings, drawings, and watercolors.

Steve Careau, in his exhibit Chaste, creates sculptures that appear tool-like and device-like through their physical attributes, yet seem paradoxically to serve no obvious function.

This exhibit combines Laura Christensen’s new works of art with historic Shaker artifacts. Christensen uses antique photographs to create sculptures, textiles, and weavings. Her work explores the industries, images, and lives of early Shaker women.

In this exhibition, rugs from Hancock’s extensive collection are featured alongside Greenwood’s textile sculptures, which were made with deep consideration of Shaker designs, techniques and materials.

The Shakers referred to people who were not in their sect as “people from the World”. As women of the World, Deborah Carter and Joanie Ciolfi, inspired by Shaker iconic elements and the Shaker Design postage stamps, create three stunning dresses that bring the past to the present.

Interdisciplinary artist and Shaker researcher Maria Molteni’s immersive installation brings a recorded trance experience of young Shaker visionist Ann Mariah Goff into playful, ephemeral form.
