Is there a middle ground between sharing information and denying access? How can we regulate cooperation?

Mask work and puppetry have long been used as instruments for storytelling, both theatrically and therapeutically. The inanimate objects are vessels to be endowed with power, stemming from imagination, creativity, and memory. What drives us to utilize puppets and masks to tell stories of our origins, of our struggles, of our hardships? How do these objects give us permission to interact in unexpected ways and explore topics that might be considered taboo? How does interacting with a puppet or a mask change the performer? Or the audience? We’ve been leaning on these objects since prehistoric times to tell our stories and reenact our rituals. How do we use puppets and masks today?

Join Ronee Penoi and Professor Felice Amato, Dr. Jason Butler, and director Veronica Barron to explore the history and contemporary use of puppets and masks in ritual, performance, and therapies and learn how these vehicles unlock difficult topics.

About The Point
At ArtsEmerson, the art is the provocation; conversation is the point. The Point is a conversation series that invites audiences to explore big questions in intimate settings. Hosted by a member of the ArtsEmerson team, local and national luminaries will offer their points of view on the urgent questions surfaced by the artists on our stages.

What can a 19th-century mill disaster teach us about workplace safety today?

Join Professor Robert Forrant (UMass Lowell) and Gabriel Porter (Safety and Health Specialist/Process Safety Management Coordinator OSHA Boston Regional Office) for a compelling discussion moderated by Charles River Museum’s Director of Education, Stephen Guerriero. Forrant will delve into the catastrophic Pemberton Mill collapse of 1860—an industrial tragedy that claimed 98 lives, revealed systemic failures, and left questions of accountability unresolved. Porter will explore how OSHA builds on lessons from such events to safeguard workers in today’s industries. Together, they’ll connect history to modern-day practices, offering insights into the ongoing fight for safer workplaces.

Cambridge Forum takes an incisive look at America’s public health system in the light of another potential pandemic, and the prospect of an incoming president who is set to dismantle our current public health care science which is regarded by many, as the best in the world. Alarm bells were sounded early last December when The Lancet, the world’s top medical journal, published an issue dedicated to U.S. public health lauding its remarkable global record and worrying for its future, under a second Trump administration.
