About This Event
Class, Community, and Commute: Representations of Private and Public Travel in the Late 19th and 20th Centuries The museum's Mellon Special Project Intern Javier Baluyut ’26 will discuss his student-curated exhibition that explores depictions of travel in the late 19th and 20th centuries through the lens of American culture and class. Travel is a ubiquitous human experience, with the modern age broadening available transportation to a range inconceivable less than a century ago. American travel culture has likewise evolved to serve the needs of its modern population, supporting a vast nest of public roads and highways at odds with a sparse passenger railway and underdeveloped public transportation networks. No registration necessary. This program will be recorded and made available on the Hood Museum’s YouTube channel. Photographs may be taken at this event for promotional or educational use.
