As a kid I wondered and worried about why people could be allowed to go unfed and unhoused and insecure in the midst of unparalleled, incomparable affluence. That remains the driving question of my research. And the answer remains largely the same. Capitalism in its many guises.

Not a creature was stirring EXCEPT everyone who was busy working hard to disguise the relationship between market capitalism and the American consumer by concealing it inside a living model of preindustrial craftsmanship, baked goods, and Victoriana 🎄

It certainly feels like Hagley always has something relevant to current events in our collections. I am probably biased, of course.

A real loss for the region, perhaps especially Main Street Newark where the original location used to be. Another victim of private equity! Pour one out

One of the amazing things the @hagleycenter.bsky.social is doing is digitizing their incredible collection of corporate films.

My current fave is THE MAGIC KEY (1950), an animated & live action short that explains how ADVERTISING is the key to human civilization
