Join West Harlem-based artist Jana Leo for an artmaking workshop and artist talk at the Hispanic Society Museum & Library based on her exhibition now on view at the Espacio de Culturas at NYU: Mom is Dead, But We Are Going to Heal Her.
Jana will share with participants her artistic process aimed at processing trauma and everyday current events. The workshop includes both drawing and writing.
Join us as Antonio Galera presents a performance inspired by musical references found in personal correspondence from the Hispanic Society Library archive. In addition to a range of classical music, the performance will feature readings from letters written by Joaquín Sorolla, Rubén Darío, Gabriela Mistral, Federico García Lorca, and more.
Jennifer Whisenhunt and Graham Roscoe, Senior Associates from Beyer Blinder Belle, will lead a behind-the-scenes tour on the restoration and renovation of the campus and will visit the Terrace, East Gallery, Main Court, and Sorolla Gallery.
Established in 1904 as a museum and library devoted to the art and literature of Hispanic cultures worldwide, the Hispanic Society Museum & Library is the founding institution of the landmark Audubon Terrace cultural campus in the Upper Manhattan neighborhood of Washington Heights, where it occupies three buildings arrayed around a series of interconnected terraces and courtyards. Starting in 2023, the main building’s iconic Main Court and renowned Sorolla Gallery reopened to the public, the first step in a multi-phase restoration and revitalization project led by Beyer Blinder Belle Architects & Planners. Work continues to restore the building’s facades, terraces, and additional gallery and storage spaces.
