Declaration Reclamation: Celebrating Our Future

Declaration Reclamation: Celebrating Our Future

Presented by American Repertory Theater and NAACBoston at Spectacle Island

To honor our collective histories and to come together in celebration of a reimagined future, Declaration Reclamation will conclude with an in-person, outdoor gathering featuring performance, food, and ritual for participants of all ages. Enjoy the beauty of Spectacle Island and live music and performances from DJ Owtlaw, Marcus Campbell, and Dzidzor.

The first 200 people to register will receive free ferry tickets and refreshments, so be sure to sign up today!

Declaration Reclamation explores this question through a series of free workshops, conversations, and gatherings held in May, June, and July 2022 across Greater Boston. Amplifying underrepresented voices and stories that are glossed over in American history, the participatory events will engage minds and bodies to collectively reclaim space in the story of America, bridging the gap between the histories we are taught and the histories that define us.
