Charlee Brodsky: A Town Without Steel, Envisioning Homestead
Sunday May 08, 2005 - Sunday July 17, 2005
free w/ museum admission
Rainbow Kitchen |
This exhibition explores Homestead, one of the most distinctive and ethnically diverse working-class communities in the Pittsburgh region. Homestead has a rich labor history and has been transformed recently from a dying steel town to a place that now hosts an enormous shopping complex, which has been set down on the land that once was the home of the famous steel mill that Andrew Carnegie bought from Henry Clay Frick in 1883. Her photographs attempt to capture and understand the relationship between the old and the new Homestead, and the old and new America.
This program has been supported in part by the Pennsylvania Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities' We the People initiative on American history.
