      Visit Mac MacDevitt’s My Lai Memorial Exhibit

      August 24, 2018 By Mac MacDevitt Leave a Comment

      Developed by Essex artist Mac MacDevitt with the Chicago Veterans for Peace organization, the My Lai Memorial Exhibit honors the Vietnamese people who died as a result of US political and military actions in their country during their American War. The interactive exhibit has toured around the country and will be in the Essex-area at the beginning of September.

      Where to see the exhibit:

      John Brown Lives! has partnered with Chicago Veterans for Peace to plan a full schedule of presentations at the Whallonsburg Grange Hall on Friday and Saturday, September 7 – 8 and a follow-up Oral History workshop and screening on Sunday, September 9 at the John Brown Farm in Lake Placid, NY. The exhibit is free and open to the public, and everyone in the community is invited to attend!

      To learn more about the exhibit and to see the the full exhibit & presentation schedule visit: www.essexonlakechamplain.com/my-lai-memorial-exhibit/.

      About Mac MacDevitt

        Mac MacDevitt has raised his sons Zak and Ben Breckenridge in Essex with his wife Darla Breckenridge for the last 25 years. They now share their house with daughter Katie MacDevitt and her two dogs. For the past three years Mac and Darla have split their time between Essex and Chicago where Darla works as a personal assistant and where Mac is deeply engaged in the personal storytelling community and activism as an Associate Member of Chicago Veterans for Peace. On Lake Champlain Mac is an avid adventure sailor with his bright yellow trimaran Limonada.

        Most recently as an artist he developed the My Lai Memorial Exhibit and embarked on a nationwide tour hosted by Veterans for Peace chapters in May 2018. As a component of the exhibit Mac is exploring how his sculptural collages can deepen understanding and empathy, and how we can tap into the artist in each of us and join with others to speak up for social justice.

        His work with nomadic structures, his storytelling and his sailing adventures can be found at Sky High Shelters.
