Thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose in rebellion\, won their independence\, and established a new form of government that radically reshaped the continent and inspired centuries of democratic movements around the globe. \nAn expansive look at the virtues and contradictions of the war and the birth of the United States of America\, the film follows dozens of figures from a wide variety of backgrounds. Through their individual stories\, viewers experience the war through the memories of the men and women who experienced it: the rank-and-file Continental soldiers and American militiamen (some of them teenagers)\, Patriot political and military leaders\, British Army officers\, American Loyalists\, Native soldiers and civilians\, enslaved and free African Americans\, German soldiers in the British service\, French and Spanish allies\, and various civilians living in North America\, Loyalist as well as Patriot\, including many made refugees by the war. \nThe Revolution began a movement for people around the world to imagine new and better futures for themselves\, their nations\, and for humanity. It declared American independence with promises that we continue to strive for. The American Revolution opened the door to advance civil liberties and human rights\, and it asked questions that we are still trying to answer today. \nABOUT THE PROGRAM \nCorporate funding for The American Revolution was provided by Bank of America.

This presentation by folklorist and creative-aging researcher Jon Kay\, invites attendees to explore how everyday arts practices—such as quilting\, woodcarving\, crochet\, music making\, gardening\, cooking\, collecting\, and more—can enrich elder well-being. \nThe presentation highlights how creative pursuits help older adults resist what experts call the “three plagues of aging”: isolation\, boredom\, and helplessness. Through stories\, examples\, and practical tips\, Kay demonstrates how engaging in “everyday arts” can strengthen social bonds and bring a renewed sense of purpose and meaning in later life. \nAfter the presentation\, Kay will lead a discussion encouraging attendees to discover their own creative practice. Whether you want to adopt a new hobby\, revive an old one\, or maintain the creative practice you already have\, this session offers both information and inspiration. You’ll learn strategies for identifying an art form that is right for you\, and you’ll leave the workshop with a toolkit of activities designed to keep you socially active and creatively fulfilled. \nJoin us and discover how later life can be a time of meaningful growth\, connection\, and purpose! The program is presented jointly by Indiana Humanities and Indiana University’s Traditional Arts Indiana. As a special thank-you\, all participants will receive a free copy of Everyday Arts in Later Life\, a book highlighting the role of creativity as we age.
