Journeys in the Light: Untold Stories of Cape Cod

FEB 15, 6 - 8 pm Commemorating Black History Month, Cape Cod Museum of Art (CCMoA) is excited to present the

documentary Journeys in the Light, Untold Stories of Cape Cod, which celebrates the diverse population that has enriched our culture.

The film was produced by ArtistsAndMusicians.org and John L. Reed, Executive Director of Zion Union

Heritage Museum (ZUHM) and features the Museum’s resident artists, Pamela Chatterton-Purdy, Carl

Lopes and Robin J. Miller. It also includes the work of Michael Alfano, Vasco Pires, Elizabeth Mumford,

Joe Diggs, and Sean Cassidy. The film also draws on the music of outstanding regional musicians

including Walter Beasley, Ensemble Passacaglia, Steffani Bennett, and Jerry Portnoy.

Following the film, the filmmaker and artists will talk about their work and the history and traditions

that inspire it. CCMoA is also exhibiting work by Chatterton-Purdy, Carl Lopes and Robin J. Miller during

the month of February.

The film is based in part on the historical notes of Dolores DaLuz and made possible through the

generosity of the Lyndon Paul Larusso Foundation.
