Marie Watt: Writer Lois Leveen talks on Marie Watt sculpture at Portland Art Museum

THURSDAY, DEC. 8th, 6 - 8 pm

Lois Leveen discusses the recasting of American history in contemporary art and literature, looking at the mixed-media sculpture of award-winning Native American artist Marie Watt and Leveen's own novel, "The Secrets of Mary Bowser," which is based on the true story of a free black woman who during the Civil War spied on behalf of the Union by posing as a slave in the Confederate White House. The first hour will be a talk in the gallery in front of Watt's sculpture, and the second hour will be a more informal discussion in the museum cafe.
