Gallery Talk: One Sewing Machine, Two Stories

Join Ashley Hopkins-Benton, Senior Historian and Curator of Social History, for a gallery talk at the Tuck High Co. Chinatown Store exhibit. Centered on a 1970s Singer industrial sewing machine, this program explores how a single object can hold multiple meanings and connections across time, place, and community.

As we kick off Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, discover how everyday artifacts can reveal deeper stories about work, family, and identity in New York State and consider whose histories are carried within the objects around us.
