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.

Dyckman Farmhouse – Backporch: “Echoes Across the Pond” with Silentwoods Collective

Baseball is not just America’s pastime— it is a story of resilience, talent, and the fight for equality. African Americans have shaped the game of baseball since its earliest days not just by playing it, but elevating it.

Join us on Wednesday, July 30th from 6-7pm as we honor their legacy through a lecture about the history of the Negro Baseball Leagues and how they found their way to the Dyckman Oval. We will discuss the stories, the struggles, and the triumphs of Black baseball players throughout history. Afterwards, participants will enjoy a fun, trivia-style game that will test their knowledge about the history of Negro Baseball Leagues and milestones of notable Black baseball players.

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.
