Join us for the first major art exhibit in Cambridge of Abraham Megerdichian's metal miniatures on display at the Main Library from September 19th to October 14th. Lifelong local machinist, Abraham machined from solid scrap metal his interpretations of everyday objects, and gave them away as gifts to family and friends. After Abraham died in 1983 his pieces were put away, where many of them lay until 2013. Since then Abraham’s son, Robert, has had pieces from the collection exhibited at nearly 20 venues in New England and beyond. Also on exhibit are professional photographer Scott Sutherland’s photographs of the artwork. The artwork is on display throughout the Main Library - in the lobby, on the second floor, in the Cambridge Room, and in the Children's Room. Join us for a curator talk by Robert on October 12 at 6:30 pm in the Cambridge Room.

Join us for an evening of sacred songs based on the Mandinka djely tradition with master Kora player Yacouba Sissoko. Throughout West African history, djelys, or storytellers, were respected oral historians, jurists, interpreters of current events, and advisors to rulers. The djely’s signature instrument is the kora, a 21-string lute with a large gourd resonator. The djely and the kora played an important role in the founding of the Mali Empire. At the height of its power and influence in the 14th century, the Mali Empire encompassed present day Chad, Niger, Mali, Senegal, and the Gambia.
Registration is required.
This event is supported by the Friends of the Cambridge Public Library.
