Pride Month Observed With Special Installations and Programming Throughout the Month of June
The Museum of the American Revolution will feature new artifact displays, a contemporary art installation, and special programming to mark Pride Month this June.
Throughout the month, the museum is pleased to present Whiskey Rebellion, an installation of sculptures by Philadelphia artist John Y. Wind in the second-floor Oneida Indian Nation Atrium. Wind’s work transforms hand-painted, ceramic decanters of key figures from the American Revolution that were produced by the Jim Beam Distilling Company and their competitors from the 1960s to 1970s to circumvent a new federal whiskey tax and tap into Bicentennial fever. His recontextualized works explore issues of masculinity, heroism, diversity, and the very notion of commemoration through a 21st century lens.

“The series was inspired by Lin Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton. The time travel, pop culture mash-up, and outsider lens … the social and political concerns of our times layered with my own queer sensibility—all set the stage for an intervention,” Wind says. “I asked myself what are the tropes that convey authority here? The uniforms, decorations, and elaborate pedestals—I wanted to have a go at it, insert myself, humanize them, and redefine what a hero looks like in 2024. This is my whiskey rebellion.”
