The Freewheelin Bob Dylan
Come see our Current Exhibit: ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan’ photographs by: Don Hunstein
The exhibit, which has recently completed a successful run in London, is a photographic portrait of the legendary rock icon by Columbia Records photographer and Sharon resident Don Hunstein.
Mr. Hunstein worked closely with Bob Dylan in the early 1960s when his star was on the rise and who now is considered to be one of the most influential figures of the 20th century; the photographs are an intimate and touching body of work. Included in the exhibit is the legendary 1963 album cover image,‘The Freewheelin’ , which brought Dylan international fame and launched his career.
The exhibition includes images of Dylan recording ‘Highway 61 Revisited’ which is considered to be the best and most important of his albums including the tracks ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ and ‘Desolation Row’ as well as images of Dylan rehearsing for concerts and in repose. Hunstein’s images capture the young Dylan and his intrepid spirit of counter-culture which resonated the world over.

Human Terrain: War Becomes Academic
Join us for a Special Screening of Award-Winning Film ‘Human Terrain’ with Filmmaker James Der Derian on Sunday February 26th at 11:30AM.
Presented by the SALISBURY FORUM in collaboration with the FilmWorks Forum of The Moviehouse.
Open to the Public, Free of Charge
‘Human Terrain’ is two stories in one. The first exposes a new Pentagon effort to enlist the best and the brightest in a struggle for hearts and minds. Facing long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. military initiates ‘Human Terrain Systems’, a controversial program that seeks to make cultural awareness the centerpiece of the new counterinsurgency strategy. Designed to embed social scientists with combat troops, the program swiftly comes under attack as a misguided and unethical effort to gather intelligence and target enemies. Gaining rare access to wargames in the Mojave Desert and training exercises at Quantico and Fort Leavenworth, ‘Human Terrain’ takes the viewer into the heart of the war machine and a shadowy collaboration between American academics and the military.
The other story is about a brilliant young scholar who leaves the university to join a Human Terrain team. After working as a humanitarian activist in the Western Sahara, Balkans, East Timor and elsewhere, and winning a Marshall Scholarship to study at Oxford, Michael Bhatia returns to Brown University to take up a visiting fellowship. In the course of conducting research on military cultural awareness, he is recruited by the Human Terrain program and eventually embeds with the 82nd Airborne in eastern Afghanistan. On the way to mediate an intertribal dispute, Bhatia is killed when his humvee hits a roadside bomb.
War becomes academic, academics go to war, and the personal tragically merges with the political, raising new questions about the ethics, effectiveness, and high costs of counterinsurgency.
