Northern Lights: Inuit Prints, Drawings, & Carvings, 1950-1990
Northern Lights: Inuit Prints, Drawings & Carvings, 1950-1990 presents the work of indigenous Canadian artists of the 1950s – 1970s, a transformative time in the development of Inuit artmaking traditions. Through dozens of prints, drawings and carvings, the exhibition celebrates the creative richness of these northern artists, acclaimed by major museums worldwide. Depicting traditional Inuit ways at a time of rapid cultural change, the artworks represented not only the main form of economic support for Inuit communities, but a flourishing of expression, both individual and communal. With biographical context and personal interviews, the exhibition highlights the artistry, resilience and cultural perspectives of the artists’ lives.
Drawn from the collection of late Stonington resident James Houston, a life-long champion of Inuit art, the exhibition celebrates the skill, imagination and vital humanity of artworks that continue to captivate viewers around the world.

The Lyman Allyn Art Museum is home to a collection of more than 18,000 works.
The Museum opened in March 1932 with only 13 objects from the permanent collection on view. Of the original 13 on display, four were of Asian or ancient origin, four were European sculptures – two of which were quite modern – and five were European works on paper dating from the 14th to the 18th centuries. Today, the collection has grown to include more than 18,000 paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, furniture and decorative arts as a result of active acquisitions by the Museum and generous donations to the Lyman Allyn.
The collection spans a 2,600-year period, ranging from ancient Greek and Roman artifacts to works by living artists, with particular strengths in American and European art from the 18th and 19th centuries. Notable artists in the collection include Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church, Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, John Copley, Winthrop Chandler, Paul Revere, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Sol LeWitt, Eugene Delacroix, Charles LeBrun, J. A. D. Ingres, and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, among many others.
The 18th Century
New London’s deep water harbor has driven the regional economy since colonial times, connecting southeastern Connecticut to the broader Atlantic world. In the 18th century, local shipping merchants specialized in the West Indies trade, exporting livestock and food to Caribbean plantations in exchange for sugar, molasses, and rum. Economic growth and stability in the second half of the century enabled colonists to acquire a greater range of household goods—textiles, silver, glass, ceramics, furniture, and paintings among them. Some goods were imported, while others were produced in the home or by craftsmen and artists, whose work and skill expanded to meet increasing demand. The Tea Table and the painting of Sarah Deshon (from the same family) tell a local story, showing how the Deshons of 18th century New London cemented their status and wealth from trade with objects that conveyed their social and economic standing.
Connecticut played a key role in the American Revolution, as political tension over taxation and colonial governance led to war with Britain. With the British headquartered in New York City, New London’s harbor was an ideal site from which to initiate naval attacks on British loyalists. New London’s privateering (the use of authorized private ships to attack and loot enemy ships) prompted British troops to retaliate, burning New London in the Battle of Groton Heights on September 6, 1781.
Daniel Huntington’s portrait of Abigail Dolbeare Hinman, 1854–56, recreates an episode from this event, showing Hinman standing with her musket in hand, attempting to shoot Benedict Arnold, who can be seen through the window, sitting on horseback.
The 19th Century
As the young nation sought to define itself in the first half of the 19th century, artists created objects and paintings to unite Americans around common ideals of liberty, justice, and hope for the future. Some objects were overtly patriotic, while others were less direct. Hudson River School landscapes, for example, expressed pride in the nation’s natural resources, with scenes from the woods, rivers, and mountains of the northeast standing in for all of America, suggesting the promise of land, the spread of civilization, and the unique, almost spiritual quality of the landscape.
Artists also traveled to Europe to study art and see the sights, painting mountains and classical ruins, as Thomas Cole did in his the majestic view of Mount Etna, drawing visual connections between the ideals of the newly minted American Republic and those of classical antiquity.
Steam power, the railroad, the telegraph, and improved roads and canals ushered in the age of industrialization, facilitating the mass production and transportation of goods. Whereas many objects had been crafted by hand in the previous century, the 19th century saw the rise of goods made with machines. Connecticut mills and factories produced munitions, tinworks, clocks, furniture, and textiles, among other things. Early factories were fueled by whale oil, an important industrial lubricant and lamp fuel supplied by whaling, the most significant part of New London’s economy for several decades.
Isaac Sheffield, who painted portraits of many local whaling captains, portrayed five-year-old James Francis Smith shortly after his return from a long whaling voyage in 1837 with his father, New London whaling captain Franklin Smith. They had gone to Desolation Island in the South Seas, and his portrait shows him wearing a penguin skin coat, with the Chelsea, the ship his father had captained, in the background.
The United States grew dramatically over the course of the 19th century, expanding westward and growing in population with waves of immigration. Regional differences and tension over slavery and states’ rights erupted in the U.S. Civil War (1861–65). In New London County, a number of textile mills were built to supply the Union troops. After the war, New England’s mills became an industrial powerhouse, employing and sustaining entire towns.
The 20th Century
In a period of tremendous growth and change, artists looked forward and back, charting new terrain with abstraction, while revisiting their artistic roots through innovative approaches to traditional genres such as landscape, still life, and portraiture.
The early 20th century was a time of rapid expansion and industrialization fueled in part by waves of immigration. A decade of exuberance followed World War I before the stock market crash of 1929 initiated the Great Depression of the 1930s. Abstraction and European modernism filtered into American art, while a realistic, regional style simultaneously held sway, resulting in a mix of subjects and styles.
Many artists were drawn to the energy and bustle of the modern city, awash in crowds and transformed by industry, skyscrapers and the automobile. The city could be intense, noisy, and oppressive, however, and some artists retreated during the summer to Connecticut art colonies to paint peaceful landscapes and scenes of leisure. Guy Wiggins drew inspiration from both the city and the country, painting impressionistic views of New York in winter, as well as scenes such as Church on the Hill, ca. 1910–12, showing country life in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
Beatrice Cuming’s painting, Chubb, shows a submarine being built in Groton, Connecticut during World War II. Cuming’s canvas affirms New London’s long connection to the sea and celebrates industry at a time when the nation was consumed with the war effort.
Post-War Art
In the prosperity and growth of the post-World War II era, a multiplicity of artistic trends and styles arose, dominated by abstraction. New York emerged as the center of the international art world. The 1960s and ‘70s witnessed cultural upheaval as people of color and women sought equal rights and many protested the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. The prevalence of advertising and mass media led artists to explore new themes, performance, and technology, questioning the definitions of art and the idea of originality.
Since the 1980s, the postmodern art world has been in flux, and issues of gender, race, politics, and cultural identity have been at the fore in our globalized and technology-driven world. In A.R.T. (in the new world order), 1994, African-American artist Willie Cole uses text on a blackboard to create an acrostic poem of sorts, using various word associations and erasure to define and comment on art and culture.

El Suroccidente avanza hacia un Movimiento regional por la paz y las transformaciones sociales
Popayán, mayo 5 de 2024. Comunidades indígenas, afrodescendientes, campesinas, urbanas, lgtbiq+, personas con discapacidad, entre otras, se reunieron en la ciudad de Popayán para ratificar su compromiso con la construcción de la paz y las transformaciones.
Este es el encuentro número 73, de 78 preencuentros y encuentros previstos para la fase de diseño de la participación, que contó con la presencia de alrededor de 250 personas de Cauca, Nariño, Valle del Cauca, Putumayo, Caldas y Huila.
A este evento se sumó la participación de la Minga del Suroccidente, como expresión regional de la movilización y las luchas de las comunidades campesinas, indígenas, afro y urbanas. Este ejercicio fortalece el proceso previo que los departamentos de la región vienen consolidando a través de comités de impulso para la participación, que se ejecutó en cuatro preencuentros en Popayán, Samaniego, Buga y Pitalito.
Atendiendo la solicitud de organizaciones y sectores sociales, se incluyó en las mesas de trabajo la discusión sobre la crisis humanitaria y de derechos humanos que vive la región y que ha cobrado la vida de líderes y lideresas sociales.
Otras propuestas giraron en torno a la necesidad de fortalecer en el modelo de la participación el enfoque ambiental, en relación con el cuidado de los ecosistemas, la madre tierra y el Macizo Colombiano, en donde nacen las principales fuentes hídricas del país.
Sobre su participación para aportar al proceso de paz entre el Gobierno de Colombia y el ELN, las comunidades enfatizaron en las perspectivas interétnicas como alternativas para tramitar conflictos y construir acuerdos en los territorios.
La participación de la sociedad es considerada el corazón de este proceso de paz. Por ello, tendrá una segunda etapa que se hará extensiva por todo el territorio nacional hasta el 2025.
