The Hispanic Society Museum & Library inaugurates Arte en el Alto Manhattan with Dominican Yorks at the Hispanic Society featuring three Dominican-born co-curators exhibiting works created in artistic dialog with HSM&L’s collection based on their individual aesthetic approaches as well as their unique perspective as Dominican immigrants in New York. The works showcased express the complicated transnational and intercultural identity, which these artists share with over 2 million Dominican-Americans in the United States, approximately half of whom reside in the NYC Metropolitan area, particularly in the museum’s home neighborhood of Washington Heights.
Co-curators: Reynaldo García Pantaleón, Chiqui Mendoza, & Rider Ureña
April 21 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Join Upper Manhattan Forest Kids & NYC Parks for an Earth Day workshop! Foraging As A Metaphor is a walking class that will identify edible and medicinal plants in our local parks and green spaces and use sketching to deepen relationships. Sketching plants is an effective method for increasing familiarization due to the keen process of seeing when sketching.
Ages 7-12 years old. Sketch supplies will be provided.
This program is free and open to the public. For accessibility information, contact ollie.demeio@parks.nyc.gov or 212-795-1388.
