In partnership with Studio B and in conjunction with International Overdose Awareness Day.

All are welcome.

A lecture by Michael Amico inspired by John H. Kennedy, a 19th-century shipbuilding financier who died of an overdose during the Civil War. The event, which includes a brief conversation after the talk, invites reflection on the historical context of overdose and the ways history can guide present-day healing.

This is second part of a two-part gathering to explore overdose, recovery, and remembrance through Waldoboro’s emotional history and a display of Images honoring lives lost to substance use, provided by Maine Sharing (A Maine-wide Facebook group dedicated to honoring loved ones lost to overdose).
