Hispanic Society: Panel Discussion on Sandy Rodriguez “Tierra Insurgente”

Join The Hispanic Society for a panel discussion with Sandy Rodriguez and invited guest speakers about her latest exhibition, “Tierra Insurgente”.

Tierra Insurgente is the first New York City solo exhibition by Los Angeles–based Chicana artist Sandy Rodriguez. The exhibition brings Rodriguez’s contemporary practice into dialogue with rarely exhibited maps, manuscripts, globes, and codices from the Hispanic Society’s historic collection. Rodriguez works on handmade amate bark paper using natural pigments derived from minerals, plants and insects, as her art is rooted in Indigenous Mesoamerican tlacuilo (painter-scribe) traditions. Her paintings, maps and codices collapse centuries of history into a single visual field, connecting early anticolonial uprisings with contemporary struggles around migration, policing, racial justice, and climate crisis.

This event is free of charge. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to view the exhibition.

GUEST PANELISTS:

Diana Magaloni – Deputy Director at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Head Curator of the Department of Art of the Ancient Americas and Director of the museum’s Conservation Center. Specialist in Mesoamerican art and curatorial practice.

Veronica Pesantes – Writer, connector, thought leader, visionary, producer, curator, advisor, and art educator. Founder of Miami Art Hang and Decolonizing Project. Specialist in Latinx art and activism.

Ryan Pinchot – Exhibition Co-Curator and Senior Educator at the Hispanic Society. Specialist in Latin American visual culture, decoloniality, and environmental humanities.

Morris-Jumel Virtual Parlor Chat – Connect260: A Woman’s House in a Man’s World

 

In a world where Eliza Jumel had the odds stacked against her in every respect (socially, financially, and more), she actualized the reality she wanted for herself. Eliza, like many other women of her time, was a woman who quietly rebelled against the patriarchal structure of the society she lived in. Join Mansion staff and Margaret Oppenheimer, Eliza Jumel’s biographer, to discuss what it would have been like to be Eliza Jumel and how she would have navigated the constraints of her everyday life to write her own story.

This session of Connect260 will focus on highlighted themes and stories from the exhibition “What the House Saw: 260 Years of Stories from the Morris Jumel Collection and Community’s section on the Antebellum Era.

About Margaret Oppenheimer: Margaret A. Oppenheimer is the author of The Remarkable Rise of Eliza Jumel: A Story of Marriage and Money in the Early Republic. A writer and editor, she holds a Ph.D. in art history from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. Besides her biography of Jumel, Oppenheimer has written numerous articles on the fine and decorative arts of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century and authored an exhibition catalogue, The French Portrait: Revolution to Restoration.

As a cemetery for free and enslaved Africans from the mid-1600s to the mid-1800s, the Harlem African Burial Ground is a sacred site of New York City’s early history, and yet for decades the site was forgotten and disrespected. Through tireless research and advocacy, community advocates brought this history to light, and now the New York City Economic Development Corporation is leading efforts to properly memorialize and honor the people buried there. Join the Harlem African Burial Ground Initiative and NYCEDC in conversation to learn about this crucial history, the role of urban planning in historic preservation, and the vision for the future memorial, cultural education center, and mixed-use project planned for the site.

Agenda:

  • Remarks from Sharon Wilkins, Manhattan Borough Historian Emerita (20 min)
  • What is the history of this site?
  • How was the site rediscovered?
  • What is the importance of memorializing this site? What does it reveal about the city’s history?
  • Presentation from EDC (20 min)
  • How did EDC’s partnership with the Initiative begin and evolve? How can advocates and government work together?
  • What is the role of urban planning in historic preservation and memorialization?
  • Moderated Q&A (20 min)

This program is supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, through the DutchCulture USA FUTURE 400 program of the Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York.
