CONTEMPORARY MUSEUM
Film Showing: Rebellious Bird
Rebellious Bird is a fresh looking watercolor cut-out animation created by Philadelphia-based artist Jennifer Levonian. The documentary short ostensibly revolves around Wendy Ramsburg, an American Civil War reenactor who portrays women soldiers that disguised themselves as men, but the film also asks broader questions about gender roles in society. The film will be presented as part of the Civil War exhibition currently at the Maryland Historical Society.
Sun Oct 16 Time 12pm - 5pm
Maryland Historical Society – 201 West Monument Street
No advance reservations required.
