SUMMARY:Free Family Sunday and The Global Language of Headwear Special Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This summer Ruthmere hosts a traveling exhibit from International Arts and Artists. The Global Language of Headwear: Cultural Identity\, Rites of Passage\, and Spirituality presents 89 hats and headdresses carefully selected from a private collection of more than 1\,300 extraordinary pieces of international headwear. \nThe Global Language of Headwear features hats from 42 countries across Asia\, Africa\, Europe\, the Middle East and North and South America—a tribute to the stunning diversity of the world’s cultures. With a few exceptions\, the pieces are from the mid-to-late 20th century\, and many are still worn today in parts of the world for revelry\, ritual and the rhythms of everyday life. More than utilitarian objects of material culture\, each hat is a unique work of art—not merely because of the skill required to make it\, but also as a singular expression of creativity and cultural meaning. The hats and headdresses communicate timeless ideas—not only of beauty\, but also of what it means to be human. \nThe profusion of shapes\, styles and materials\, as well as the ingenious use of embellishments to decorate the hats\, are limited only by imagination. The Global Language of Headwear is organized into five thematic sections: Cultural Identity; Power\, Prestige and Status; Ceremonies and Celebrations; Spiritual Beliefs; and Protection. The exhibit includes interpretive panels that help visitors move past the artistic value of the headwear pieces to think about the mutual themes of cultural identity\, status\, celebration and spiritual beliefs we all share. Children who visit the exhibit will be issued a “passport” when entering; as they “visit” and learn about the 42 countries represented in the exhibit\, they’ll earn passport stamp stickers. Along the way\, specially developed panels will allow the young visitors to think about the hats that they see around them every day and how different cultures communicate and celebrate through wearing headwear. \nDuring the Free Family Sunday event\, Ruthmere will offer children an activity to design their own hat\, share what that hat represents to them and discuss what headwear represents in other cultures. \nFor more information about the exhibit and the Free Family Sunday event\, visit Ruthmere’s website\, call 888.287.7696 or email info@ruthmere.org. \nThis program received support from an Indiana Humanities Action Grant. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: "The Fabric of Faiths: How Headwear Makes Religion Real" with Dr. John McCormack
DESCRIPTION:As part of its Global Language of Headwear: Cultural Identity\, Rites of Passage\, and Spirituality exhibit\, Ruthmere will host Dr. John McCormack for a talk on “The Fabric of Faiths: How Headwear Makes Religion Real.” \nHats are more than mere fashion statements—constructing\, embellishing and wearing hats is an essential way in which a community’s religious beliefs are brought to life. Looking closely at some remarkable objects in The Global Language of Headwear\, Dr. McCormack explores how they function in religious rituals\, express the identity and spiritual aspirations of peoples and bind together members of a community. \nDr. McCormack is an associate professor of religion and history at Aurora University. He specializes in the history of Christianity\, religion and politics\, world religions\, and early modern Europe\, France and Latin America. He earned his bachelor’s degree in history and master’s degree in religion from Yale University and both a master’s degree and doctorate in history from the University of Notre Dame. \nThe Global Language of Headwear runs from July 5 to September 27 at Ruthmere. It features 89 hats and headdresses from 42 countries across Asia\, Africa\, Europe\, the Middle East and North and South America—a tribute to the stunning diversity of the world’s cultures. With a few exceptions\, the pieces are from the mid-to-late 20th century\, and many are still worn today in parts of the world for revelry\, ritual and the rhythms of everyday life. More than utilitarian objects of material culture\, each hat is a unique work of art—not merely because of the skill required to make it\, but also as a singular expression of creativity and cultural meaning. The hats and headdresses communicate timeless ideas—not only of beauty\, but also of what it means to be human. \nAdmission to Dr. McCormack’s talk is free for Ruthmere members and $5 for nonmembers; it includes a pass to view the exhibit. \nFor more information about the exhibit and Dr. McCormack’s talk\, visit Ruthmere’s website\, call 888.287.7696 or email info@ruthmere.org. \nThis program received support from an Indiana Humanities Action Grant.

SUMMARY:What Hat Is That? A Collector's Journey of Discovery
DESCRIPTION:As part of its Global Language of Headwear: Cultural Identity\, Rites of Passage\, and Spirituality exhibit\, Ruthmere will host Stacey Miller\, the exhibit’s curator and the owner of Hat Horizons. Miller will present a talk titled\, “What Hat Is That? A Collector’s Journey of Discovery.” \nMiller is a collector of and authority on head coverings from around the world. Since her first hat purchase in Istanbul when she joined a group of Spaniards driving from Madrid to India on an overland adventure\, she has acquired more than 1\,300 hats and headdresses from more than 150 countries and many more ethnic groups. \nStarting out as a humble assortment of souvenirs\, Miller’s hats have been displayed at many museums; have been featured on television\, in magazines and in store windows on Fifth Avenue in New York City; and have been used in a variety of multicultural and diversity events. \nWith every new addition to Miller’s collection\, she creates a connection to a culture\, its people and their traditions. And most important\, each hat and headdress is a reminder of the personal\, spiritual and social values that we share\, encouraging us to recognize the humanity in all of us. \nThe Global Language of Headwear runs from July 5 to September 27 at Ruthmere. It features 89 hats and headdresses from 42 countries across Asia\, Africa\, Europe\, the Middle East and North and South America—a tribute to the stunning diversity of the world’s cultures. With a few exceptions\, the pieces are from the mid-to-late 20th century\, and many are still worn today in parts of the world for revelry\, ritual and the rhythms of everyday life.
