The Philadelphia Ethical Society will host the first public screening of Apple Picking with Eve, the latest poem video in the WeWomen series. This evocative multimedia piece delves into the interplay between history, identity, and memory, challenging traditional narratives and offering new perspectives on historical memory through the voices of historic female characters and inanimate objects.
Apple Picking with Eve began as a poem over ten years ago, and has since transformed into a complex and layered work after Moss-Vreeland created 84 pages of mixed-media artwork and translated to film. Drawing from themes of perception, memory, and the reframing of historical narratives, the video explores how personal and collective identities are shaped, recorded, and reimagined. The piece features the voices of 6 local women of varying disciplines.
