We are so delighted to continue our Talking About Race Matters lecture series that was so successful in August of 2020. Join us on Wednesdays, February 3rd through March 10th at 6pm! This six-week series during Black History Month will discuss and tell the stories of New York’s Black history. Each week will be a different speaker touching on a unique New York Black experience followed by a Q&A.
About our Talking About Race Matters Lecture Series:
One of the most important topics throughout history and in recent months, is the topic of race. Given current events covered in the news, we at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum feel that it is important to have and to facilitate conversations on race, even though they can be challenging. Because of this, we have put together a series of talks with experts, each looking at the topic of race from a different perspective. Our hope is that we can all come together, learn from one another, and to continue the conversation. We hope that you will join us!

It features the work of nineteen artists from Northern Manhattan and the Bronx. The informal nature of the exhibit belies the influential artists behind the show…..
