Facilitated by Christopher Lopez

Embrace your inner artist with this photography workshop at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum! Students will learn about photography and how to use the provided cameras. Afterward, the group will explore Inwood and take photographs following a selected theme. One photograph will be selected from each student to be exhibited at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum!

Students will learn to understand photographic form and use related vocabulary to support their analyses of photographs, as well as articulate the process of creating meaning through form, content, and context. Students will expand their visual literacy by learning to look, and by decoding images reviewed in class and encoding these ideas into their own original photographs outside of class in the surrounding area. The students will be asked to see the Dyckman community as a principal subject. Through direct involvement with the camera they will be asked to create unique visual images that articulate the varied aesthetics of the community.

Dyckman Farmhouse: José Luis in the Parlor

Jose Luis has been performing for over thirty years and is highly regarded as a gifted harpist by his peers. Jose Luis is the only harpist to play both the classic concert harp and the Latin lever harp; which requires him to pluck the strings with two different techniques; the first uses his fingertips and the second his nails.

Jose Luis first fell in love with the sound of the harp and began studying in his early teens with Maestro Jose Serrano in Puerto Rico. He later visited Los Angeles to take private lessons with the world-renowned harpist and composer Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

 

ESTE EVENTO ES GRATUITO CON LA ENTRADA AL MUSEO

José Luis lleva más de treinta años tocando el arpa y es muy respetado por sus colegas como un arpista talentoso. José Luis es el único arpista que toca tanto el arpa de concierto clásica como el arpa de palanca latina; lo que requiere que toque las cuerdas con dos técnicas diferentes; la primera utiliza los dedos y la segunda las uñas. José Luis se enamoró por primera vez del sonido del arpa y comenzó a estudiar en su adolescencia con el Maestro José Serrano en Puerto Rico. Más tarde visitó Los Ángeles para tomar clases con el mundialmente reconocido arpista y compositor Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

Dyckman Farmhouse – Talking About Race Matters: Redressing American Fashion: Black Designers in the 19th and 20th Centuries by Elizabeth Way

Talking About Race Matters: Redressing American Fashion: Black Designers in the 19th and 20th Centuries Lecture by Elizabeth Way

February 28th at 6PM – Virtual

Black people have always significantly shaped American fashion through their style, their labor, and as innovative fashion makers. From nineteenth-century dressmakers, both enslaved and free, to transitional creatives who helped navigate what an American designer could be, and late-twentieth century designers, embedded in the formal New York industry, Black people have always been a driving force in American fashion. Their stories, however, are often left out of the narrative. Examining the lives and careers of just a few starts to create a more wholistic understanding of American fashion and its wider impacts on culture and society.

Elizabeth Way is Associate Curator of Costume at The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, where she co-curated/curated Black Fashion Designers (2016), Fabric In Fashion (2018), Head to Toe (2021), Fresh, Fly, and Fabulous: Fifty Years of Hip Hop Style (2023), and Food & Fashion (2023). Way guest-curated Ann Lowe: American Couturier at Winterthur Museum Garden & Library (2023). She edited the books Black Designers in American Fashion (2021) and Ann Lowe: American Couturier (2023). She holds an M.A. in Costume Studies from New York University.

 

Hablar de Temas Raciales: Revistiendo la Moda Estadounidense: Diseñadores Negros en los siglos XIX y XX. Una Conferencia de Elizabeth Way el 28 de febrero a las 6:00 pm – Virtual

Regístrate Aquí

Las personas de color en este país siempre han dado forma a la moda estado unidense de una manera significativa a través de sus estilo, su trabajo y como creadores innovadores de ésta. Modistas negros del siglo XIX, tanto esclavizados como libres, hasta creativos en transición que ayudaron a navegar lo que podría ser un diseñador estadounidense y diseñadores de finales del siglo XX, se integraron todos en la industria formal de la moda neoyorquina. La gente negra siempre ha sido una fuerza impulsora en la moda estadounidense. Sus historias, sin embargo, a menudo quedan fuera de la narración. Ven a examinar las vidas y carreras de unos pocos; lo que hace que se comience a crear una comprensión más integral de la moda estadounidense y su gran impacto en la cultura y la sociedad.

Elizabeth Way es curadora asociada de vestuario en el museo del Instituto de Tecnología de la Moda, donde fue premiada por el Black Fashion Designers (2016), Fabric In Fashion (2018), Head to Toe (2021), Fresh, Fly y Fabuloso: cincuenta años de estilo hip hop (2023). Ann Lowe, curadora invitada: American Couturier in Winterthur Museum Garden & Library (2023). Editó los libros Black Designers in American Fashion (2021) y Ann Lowe: American Couturier (2023).
