Dyckman Farmhouse: Opening Reception “Spot P!”
Come and celebrate the opening of Spot P! by Kasper Klop, Deron Gopie, and Morwenna Spagnol. Peter Stuyvesant is often credited with laying the foundations for what became New York City. Yet, if we take a closer look, he sold enslaved people, expressed deeply antisemitic views, violently oppressed the Lenape, and actively suppressed religious minorities. Dutch artist Kasper Klop asked himself: what is my responsibility to reckon with this history as a Dutch person, and what would happen if the full story got told. The team created a multiple choice survey investigating how much New Yorkers really know about Stuyvesant, and once they know the facts, what they think about them.
