Dyckman Farmhouse – Finding Peace: Create Loving Offerings for A Community Altar with Regina Evans

If you could send a message to an enslaved person from the past, how would you use your creativity to acknowledge the inherent humanity of their life? Would you draw them a beautiful map to freedom? Write a loving poem to sing softly into their ear? Paint a colorful picture that holds hidden symbols of care? ​

Dyckman Farmhouse Museum is honored to welcome back our 2024–2025 exhibiting artist, Regina Evans, for a community-engaged project that pays tribute to the enslaved people who once unjustly lived and labored here. Through this Community Altar, we offer a deliberate acknowledgment of their life’s journey so that they are properly honored and remembered.

Using materials provided and optional guided prompts, participants will create loving offerings— a letter, poem, or drawing—that will be placed on the Community Altar and later bound into a book by Regina Evans for public viewing. All ages welcome!

Date: Saturday, August 30th AND Saturday, September 6th

Time: 12pm-3pm

Cost: FREE!

Location: Dyckman Farmhouse Museum (on the corner of 204th and Broadway)

This program is supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, through the Dutch Culture USA FUTURE 400 program of the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York.
