The viewer is invited to participate\, enter the moment\, and offer his or her own take on the situation and where it might lead. His style––expressive and gestural––focuses on the dynamics of human relationships\, drawn from his personal experience. \nBrodesky\, who grew up in New York\, studied art at the Brooklyn Museum Art School\, State University of New York at Binghamton\, and the Maryland Institute College of Art\, and earned an MA at the University of Pennsylvania\, Graduate School of Fine Arts. \nMost recently\, Brodesky’s paintings have been in shows at Matter and Light Fine Art Gallery (Boston\, MA)\, ArtProv Gallery (Providence\, RI)\, Dedee Shattuck Gallery (Westport\, MA)\, South Shore Art Center (Cohasset\, MA)\, Wall Gallery (Norwood\, MA)\, Mystic Art Museum (Mystic\, MA)\, Concord Center for the Visual Arts (Concord\, MA)\, and Cambridge Art Association (Cambridge\, MA).

SUMMARY:Patriots of Color Exhibit at American Ancestors' Family Heritage Experience
DESCRIPTION:In observance of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution\, American Ancestors’ Family Heritage Experience unveils “Patriots of Color\,” a major new exhibition opening Thursday\, April 23\, at 97 Newbury Street\, Boston. The exhibit brings long-overlooked stories of Black\, Native\, and multiracial individuals into full view—revealing their vital roles in the founding of our nation and the living descendants who carry their legacies forward today. \nThousands of Black men fought in the American Revolution—an estimated 5\,000 to 9\,000 for the Patriot cause and as many as 20\,000 supporting the British\, many seeking freedom from enslavement—yet their contributions remain underrepresented in traditional accounts of the nation’s founding. Set against the backdrop of Boston’s central role in the Revolution\, “Patriots of Color” highlights profiles of 26 individuals—two from each of the original 13 colonies—whose service\, labor\, leadership\, and resistance shaped the Revolutionary cause in ways rarely taught or remembered today. Through original documents\, immersive digital experiences\, and contemporary artistic interpretation\, the exhibition reframes the Revolution as a far more complex and inclusive struggle for independence. \nA centerpiece of the exhibition is a large-scale interactive digital map of the 13 colonies\, which invites visitors to tap and explore information about 26 individual Patriots\, represented by silhouettes designed by teenage artists from the Cambridge Community Art Center’s Teen Public Art Program. Interactive screens about the patriots reveal biographical details\, service histories\, and—most powerfully—their connection to modern-day living descendants\, some of whom are expected to attend the exhibition’s opening events. Also on view are original 18th- and 19th-century manuscripts\, military muster rolls\, family Bibles\, and historic engravings—archival materials that bring overlooked Revolutionary lives into focus and reveal the research process behind their rediscovery. \nThe exhibit is part of American Ancestors’ 10 Million Names initiative\, which aims to recover the names and lives of enslaved people through archival research. \n“What makes ‘Patriots of Color’ distinctive is not only who these individuals were\, but how we know them\,” said Ryan Woods\, President and CEO of American Ancestors. “This exhibition shows that history is not fixed or finished. Through documents\, research\, and genealogy\, it is possible to uncover real\, personal connections to the past—and\, in doing so\, better understand our present.” \nSilhouettes of Legacy \nReinforcing the exhibition’s themes of interpretation and intergenerational storytelling\, “Patriots of Color” includes a collaborative component with the Cambridge Community Art Center’s Teen Public Art Program. Founded in 1937\, the Community Art Center has long served as a creative anchor in Cambridge\, empowering young people through public art and community-rooted expression. \nFor “Patriots of Color\,” students were invited to create imaginative silhouette artwork inspired by historical profiles of Patriots. The resulting silhouette portraits draw on an historic artistic tradition that predates photography\, when profile portraits were an accessible way to preserve a person’s likeness. In this context\, the form carries particular resonance: silhouettes assert presence\, a demonstration that a life was lived. \nDisplayed alongside the historical narratives\, and each artist’s biography\, these contemporary works place today’s youth artists in dialogue with Revolutionary era lives. Their inclusion underscores the exhibition’s broader message that history is not static—it is continually interpreted\, expanded\, and made visible across generations. \nAdditional exhibition elements explore how Patriots of Color contributed beyond military service\, the difficult choices—or lack of choice—between Patriot and Loyalist allegiances\, and the painstaking process of reconstructing lives through muster rolls\, family Bibles\, pension files\, and other primary sources. Throughout\, visitors are encouraged to see themselves not just as observers of history\, but as participants in reclaiming it. \n“Patriots of Color” remains on view through December 31\, 2026\, with an opening celebration and public programs planned in conjunction with Revolution 250 commemorations in Boston. \nExhibit Highlights:\n\nPatriots of Color profiles—two from each of the original 13 colonies—featured through an expansive interactive digital map\nConnections between Revolutionary-era Patriots and living descendants\, bringing the story of the Revolution into the present day\nOriginal manuscripts\, muster rolls\, engravings\, and family records that demonstrate how historical lives are recovered through genealogical research\nA dynamic touchscreen experience inviting visitors to explore service\, resistance\, and legacy across the colonies\, with direct links to American Ancestors’ 10 Million Names initiative\nA collaborative public art installation featuring silhouette works created by Community Art Center Teen Public Art Program artists\, interpreting individual Patriot stories through contemporary creative expression\n\n“Patriots of Color: Reclaiming Stories of Courage\, Resistance\, and Legacy” reframes the American Revolution through the lens of family history—demonstrating that the nation’s founding stories are not fixed in the past\, but can be rediscovered\, reinterpreted\, and reclaimed through research\, documents\, and lived connection. \nExhibit Opening:        April 23\, 2026 \nOn View:                    Through December 31\, 2026\, Tuesday through Saturday\, 10 am to 6 pm \nLocation:                    Family Heritage Experience at American Ancestors\, 97 Newbury Street\, Boston\, MA \nAdmission:                 $10 for adults.
