Looking to expand your understanding of how museums can tell more comprehensive stories and increase accessibility? Join us for “Discovering New Narratives,” a networking event that focuses on inclusive museum interpretations.

You will have the opportunity to connect with museum and history professionals over local Dominican food from DFM favorite El Nuevo Caridad. Whether you’re a museum professional, a history buff, or just someone who believes in the power of inclusive storytelling, this event is a wonderful opportunity to connect and collaborate.

Dyckman Farmhouse – Exhibition Opening: “Our Blues,” and “The Devil I Dance With: the Makings of the U.S. Thru African American Eyes”

Exhibition Opening and Reception for “Our Blues,” and “The Devil I Dance With: the Makings of the U.S. Thru African American Eyes”
September 11th, 2024
6PM-8PM
FREE
Light refreshments will be served.
“Our Blues,” by Regina Y. Evans is a healing arts textile installation highlighting the sacredness and dynamic beauty of Black women. The installation focuses upon rage to joy, with the understanding that rage held with intention can be the fuel needed for upending injustices for the sake of necessary freedom.
Black women are the holders of varied coded chapters, divine feelings, insistent jubilations, and spirited pathways. From the melancholy of a poetic blue musical note to the nurturing blue of the wise ocean deep…this is “Our Blues”.
“The Devil I Dance With: the Makings of the U.S. Thru African American Eyes,” is an expression of the tenderness artist Rebecca Boyd Driver feels for the strength of her people, who in the face of tremendous ongoing oppression not only survived, but made us, American people, a better people in all areas and paved the way for all those who followed. Driver feels that no matter who you are and how you are ‘colored’ by your past and present, you can appreciate the reality of how African American people have shaped this country, and how deeply Black people are underappreciated, given the outsized role they have played, in the furtherance of this country’s ideals and construction.

RESHEDULED – Dyckman Farmhouse: Bearing Witness: An Update on the Journey Toward Collaboration, Repair and Return at the Inwood Sacred Site and African Burial Ground

Bearing Witness: An Update on the Journey Toward Collaboration, Repair and Return at the Inwood Sacred Site and African Burial Ground

By Peggy King Jorde and Rachel Watkins

Thursday, August 29th at 6PM on the back porch at DFM

In Inwood until  the late 1800s, the Dyckman and Nagel family cemeteries remained with grave markings, enclosed by a fence, and appeared to be a well kept rural cemetery. A few hundreds yards away were unmarked graves of enslaved Africans. During rapid development in the early 20th century, the site was discovered in March of 1903, and again, no means of protection came for those buried in this hilly knoll, and the bodies were exhumed, examined, and stolen.

The location of the Inwood Sacred Site lies between today’s 211th and 212th Streets, between Broadway and 10th Avenue. Until recently, this block was occupied by various Auto Shops and P.S. 98 – Shorac Kappock’s faculty parking lot. The local community of Inwood is fighting to raise awareness and gain recognition of this sacred site that was sadly desecrated a century ago. Hear from the team behind the Inwood Sacred Site Memorial at this session of Back Porch History at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum.

 

Dando testimonio: Una actualización sobre el viaje hacia la colaboración, la reparación y el regreso en el Sitio Sagrado de Inwood y el Cementerio Africano.

Por Peggy King Jorde y Rachel Watkins

Jueves 22 de agosto a las 6 PM en el porche de la casa histórica y museo Dyckman.

En Inwood hasta finales de 1800, los cementerios de las familias Dyckman y Nagel permanecieron con tumbas marcadas, protegidos por una valla y parecían ser cementerios rurales bien cuidados. A unos cientos de metros había tumbas sin marcas de africanos esclavizados. Durante el rápido desarrollo de la ciudad a principios del siglo XX, el sitio fue descubierto en marzo de 1903 y de nuevo, no llegó ningún medio de protección para los enterrados en esta colina. Los cuerpos fueron exhumados, examinados y robados.

La ubicación del Sitio Sagrado de Inwood se encuentra entre las calles 211 y 212, entre Broadway y 10th Avenue. Hasta hace poco, este bloque estaba ocupado por varios talleres mecánicos y el estacionamiento de la facultad de P.S. 98 – Shorac Kappock. La comunidad local de Inwood está luchando para crear conciencia y ganar reconocimiento de este sitio sagrado que fue profanado hace un siglo. Escuche al equipo detrás del Memorial del Sitio en esta sesión de Historia en la casa histórica y museo Dyckman.
