WATERBURY, CT â On Sunday, May 2, The Mattatuck Museum opened âA Face Like Mine,â a new exhibition that examines Black life by positioning African-American artists to depict their own lives and culture from the Harlem Renaissance to the present day.
A Face Like Mine includes over 75 works of paintings, sculpture, prints, textiles, and photographs by artists Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Jacob Lawrence, Kerry James Marshall, Faith Ringgold, Lorna Simpson, James VanDerZee, and Kehinde Wiley and will explore themes such as identity, family, community, politics and performance. The exhibition is held in conjunction with the Grand Opening of the Mattatuckâs newly renovated and expanded facility.

After Lenny & Joe’s Fish Tale restaurant in New Haven sued its insurance provider for refusing to pay for business losses related to the coronavirus pandemic shutdown, a federal judge dismissed the case within just six months.
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Shea in December granted AmGUARD Insurance Co.’s motion to dismiss the case, concluding the restaurant’s insurance policy’s virus exclusion meant any losses due to the pandemic weren’t covered.
Like Lenny & Joe’s, an array of businesses, from restaurants to manufacturers and medical providers, have experienced pandemic-related losses in the past year, and several have turned to the courts when their insurance carriers denied coverage.
