Through the run of the exhibition Mark Thomas Gibson: We Are A Constellation, a member of the Skidmore community will become a Town Crier for a brief performance at 2 pm on Tuesday through Sunday.
The Town Crier will don a costume, ring a bell, and deliver two announcements: news from that date 250 years earlier and news from the present day. The brief performances last only a few minutes.
Together, the performances will create a record of this important year while asking how history is remembered, narrated, and made.
The performance is free and open to the public.
