Sion Papi at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum

Dyckman Farmhouse Museum is proud to present

Sion Papi: A Stop Motion Animation and Art Exhibition by Anne Fernandez

Sion Papi is an animated documentary that follows the story of Anne Fernandez who, after the death of her father, embarks on a two-month journey to return his ashes to his homeland— a place she hasn’t set foot in for sixteen years. As she navigates this journey in an unfamiliar country, Anne begins to discover who her father was during the years he lived in Dominican Republic. 

Sion Papi unfolds as a personal essay in stop motion form— a tender tale of intergenerational storytelling, reconnection, and healing. The exhibition at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum will feature a screening of Sion Papi alongside a glimpse into Anne Fernandez’s creative process in making the film.

DFM History in Focus 2025: “Plentiful Country: The Great Potato Famine and the Making of Irish New York.” By Dr. Tyler Anbinder

For the second session of Dyckman Farmhouse Museum’s History in Focus 2025, we will be hearing from Dr. Tyler Anbinder, a Professor of History at George Washington University with a specialization in nineteenth-century America and the history of immigration and ethnicity in American life. Dr. Tyler Anbinder will discuss his new book, “Plentiful Country: The Great Potato Famine and the Making of Irish New York,” and how it upends what we thought we knew about the Famine Irish in New York and beyond. This program is supported, in part, by, the Honorable Carmen De La Rosa, New York City Council, District 10.

Dyckman Farmhouse: History in Focus 2025

For the first installment of Dyckman Farmhouse Museum’s History in Focus 2025, we will be hearing from Dr. Andrew Rasmussen, a Professor of Psychology and head of the Culture, Migration, and Community research group at Fordham University.

Dr. Rasmussen will present findings from three studies from two decades of research with various West African immigrant groups.

Findings point to challenges often reported by new immigrants related to child-rearing and resolving spousal conflict. Parents’ concerns about children acting “American” are exacerbated by a fear of child protective services, leaving parents feeling at a loss for how they can stay true to their cultures’ strict values concerning child rearing. Children, who acculturate faster than their parents, often appreciate close monitoring and even strict discipline by parents but also feel they are somewhat limited by it. Spousal conflict also appears to be related to more conservative cultural norms, but is also related to the necessity of two-income households in the city.

Findings from all three studies are integrated to build a model of social problem-solving in West African communities, one that includes family members, neighbors, and community leaders, and then also state actors (police and welfare officials).
