It will be on view from Thursday, September 10 throughSunday, October 11, with an Opening Reception on Sunday, September 13 from 3:00 -6:00 p.m. This haunting collection of images reflects Martson’s intuitive connection toMexico, an enigmatic land of great beauty and stark contrasts. “It is a land of flesh andblood and ghosts and spirits, where life and death are not mutually exclusive,” heexplains. “A mysteriously liberating fatalism allows life to be lived for the moment.”Martson’s photographs give us fresh visions of Mexicans in a disparate mosaic of physicaland cultural realities.

Screening of New Documentary Highlights African Perspective

When historian and author Marcus Rediker headed to Africa to make a movie about theAmistad Rebellion, he knew what he was looking for: the Africans’ side of the story. Hefound it in the most remote part of one of the most impoverished areas in the world, SierraLeone. Rediker will share the untold tales of the Amistad mutineers–what they did andwhy–and the secret society that was essential to their revolt– in a special screening of the

award-winning film, “Ghosts of Amistad: In the Footsteps of the Rebels.” The event is co-sponsored by The Amistad Committee, Inc., the Gilder-Lehrman Center for the Study ofSlavery, Resistance and Abolition, and the New Haven Museum. The free screening willtake place at the New Haven Museum on Thursday, September 17, at 6 p.m.

Based on Rediker’s book, “The Amistad Rebellion: An Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery andFreedom,” (Penguin, 2012), The “Ghosts of Amistad” chronicles the 2013 journey byRediker and filmmaker Tony Buba to the villages of the rebels who captured the slaveschooner Amistad in 1839, and their search for the long-lost ruins of Lomboko, the slavetrading factory where their cruel transatlantic voyage began.

Rediker notes that previously much of the focus of the story of the Amistad Rebellion hasbeen on the sensational trial of the captives in New Haven, but few details from theperspective of both the slaves, and their African captors, are known by the public. Thefilmmakers relied on village elders, and the stories passed from one generation to anotherin the West African oral history tradition, to recover a “lost history in the struggle againstslavery,” and explore the African origins of the heroes of the Amistad incident.

The New Haven Museum, founded in 1862 as the New Haven Colony Historical Society,is located in downtown New Haven at 114 Whitney Avenue. The Museum is currentlycelebrating 150 years of collecting, preserving and interpreting the history and heritage ofGreater New Haven. Through its collections, exhibitions, programs and outreach, theMuseum brings 375 years of New Haven history to life.
