The Wider World and Scrimshaw (New Bedford)

Join us for a day-long symposium, where renowned and emerging scholars explore the global carving traditions from across the Pacific Rim that were influenced by, sat in conversation with, and had an influence on “Yankee” whaling scrimshaw. The day celebrates international maritime material culture, explores a dynamic global narrative, and dives deep into the Whaling Museum’s Indigenous collections from Oceania, the Pacific Northwest, and Global Arctic.

Breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks are included with your $15 ticket purchase, if reserved by Wednesday, March 22.
