Back Porch History: The American Revolution in Inwood, Part 2
August 24th at 6PM
Two months ago we told the story of the events leading up to the battle of Fort Washington in 1776. But the war didn’t end until 1783.
In this talk we’ll pick up at the beginning of 1777 and talk about how Inwood changed during the war. We’ll hear about the battles and skirmishes of course, and about the lawless “Neutral Ground” of lower Westchester, and about the marauders known as Refugees, Cowboys, and Skinners who wreaked havoc throughout the area. We’ll also learn about the destruction of the Dyckman family’s Inwood farm, and how some of the Dyckman sons became freedom fighters. And much more.

Jose Luis has been performing for over thirty years and is highly regarded as a gifted harpist by his peers. Jose Luis is the only harpist to play both the classic concert harp and the Latin lever harp; which requires him to pluck the strings with two different techniques; the first uses his fingertips and the second his nails.
Jose Luis first fell in love with the sound of the harp and began studying in his early teens with Maestro Jose Serrano in Puerto Rico. He later visited Los Angeles to take private lessons with the world-renowned harpist and composer Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

¡Pasee por el museo Dyckman Farmhouse mientras escucha los hermosos sonidos de Jose Luis en el arpa! Jose jugara en la granja durante el horario de apertura dos veces al mes durante todo el verano. Encuentra a Jose instalado en el salón de la granja:

Jose Luis ha actuado por más de treinta años y sus compañeros lo consideran un arpista talentoso. Jose Luis es el único arpista que juega ambos el arpa clásica de concierto y el arpa de palanca Latina; lo que lo obliga a tocar las cuerdas con dos técnicas diferentes; el primero usa las yemas de los dedos y el segundo las uñas.
Jose primero se enamoro con el sonido de el arpa y comenzó a estudiar en su adolescencia con el maestro Jose Serrano en Puerto Rico. Mas tarde visito Los Angeles para tomar clases privadas con el compositor y arpista de renombre mundial Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

“In our fast-paced lives, it’s often easy to lose touch with our inner truth. My creative process provides a compass, reminding me to pause and reconnect with what is meaningful and nourishing. Each day, we are presented with countless opportunities to slow down and appreciate the extraordinary beauty of the ordinary. The exhibition invites viewers to share such moments of openness with me.
Most of the pieces featured in this exhibit were inspired by morning walks at Isham Park and Inwood Hill Park. I am honored to share the beauty of Upper Manhattan and my profound love for this community with you.”

Cheyney McKnight will give a lecture on headwraps found among both free and enslaved African Women in America from the 18th to 19th century. Attendees will learn how headwraps changed from region to region, and the cultural and historical significance of styles.
Cheyney Mcknight is Manager of Living History at New-York Historical Society, where develops and runs Living History Programs.
She is also owner of Not Your Momma’s History, a public history consulting business that aids museums and historical sites in talking about the African experience within 18th and 19th century America. Not Your Momma’s History runs a YouTube channel with over 240,000 subscribers and 5 million views, that shows the day to day lives of Black people throughout American history.
Cheyney has taken her “Let’s Talk About Slavery” table to over 30 parks, historical sites, and public events across America to provide a safe place for people to learn and talk about the history of slavery. She provides handouts to encourage people to further their education beyond that one interaction.
Cheyney graduated from Simmons University in 2011 with a bachelors in Political Science.
In 2021 Cheyney was chosen to be an African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund Fellow for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Her project, titled The Ancestor’s Future: An Afrofuturist Journey Through History, was both a piece of performance art and a conversation inspired by Afrofuturism about the future of historic preservation on former sites of enslavement. Cheyney uses clothing designs that meld modern textiles that speak to the Black experience in America with 18th and 19th century silhouettes.

Ella proporciona folletos para motivar a las personas a continuar su educación más allá de esa interacción.
Cheyney se graduó de la Universidad Simmons en el 2011 con una licenciatura en Ciencia Políticas.
En el 2021, Cheyney fue elegida para ser miembro del Fondo de Acción del Patrimonio Cultural Afroamericano y National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Cheyney usa diseños de ropa que fusionan textiles modernos, utilizando siluetas de los siglos XVIII y XIX, que hablan de la experiencia negra en Estados Unidos.

Talking About Race Matters: Fashion, Race, Identity, and Power: Black Dandy Beginnings by Monica Miller
2024-02-21 18:00 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Virtual via Zoom
Talking About Race Matters: Fashion, Race, Identity, and Power: Black Dandy Beginnings by Monica Miller
This talk will explore the politics of fashion and dress for enslaved and free Black people in 18th and 19th-century Europe and America. Beginning with the phenomenon of dandified “luxury slaves” in 18th-century London, Miller will discuss the way in which the enslaved and free in America used fancy dress and fashion to both visualize freedom and critique contemporary hierarchies of race, gender, class, and sexuality. This talk is based on Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion, a cultural history of Black dandyism, which uses print culture, colonial histories, literature, and theater to tell the Black dandy’s story.

Hablar sobre temas raciales: moda, raza, identidad y poder: Black Dandy Beginnings por Mónica Miller.
Esta charla explorará la política de la moda y la vestimenta para la gente negra libre y esclavizada en Europa y Estados Unidos de los siglos XVIII y XIX. Comenzando con el fenómeno de los dandiados ‘esclavos de lujo” en el Londres del siglo XVIII, Miller discutirá la forma en que los esclavos y gente de color libres en Estados Unidos utilizaron lo disfraces y la moda para visualizar la libertad y criticar las jerarquías contemporáneas de raza, género, clase y sexualidad. Esta charla se basa en el libro de Miller “Slaves to Fashion”, una historia cultural del dandismo negro, que utiliza la cultura popular impresa, las historias coloniales, la literatura y el teatro para contar la historia del dandy negro.

From nineteenth-century dressmakers, both enslaved and free, to transitional creatives who helped navigate what an American designer could be, and late-twentieth century designers, embedded in the formal New York industry, Black people have always been a driving force in American fashion. Their stories, however, are often left out of the narrative. Examining the lives and careers of just a few starts to create a more wholistic understanding of American fashion and its wider impacts on culture and society.

Las personas de color en este país siempre han dado forma a la moda estado unidense de una manera significativa a través de sus estilo, su trabajo y como creadores innovadores de ésta. Modistas negros del siglo XIX, tanto esclavizados como libres, hasta creativos en transición que ayudaron a navegar lo que podría ser un diseñador estadounidense y diseñadores de finales del siglo XX, se integraron todos en la industria formal de la moda neoyorquina. La gente negra siempre ha sido una fuerza impulsora en la moda estadounidense. Sus historias, sin embargo, a menudo quedan fuera de la narración. Ven a examinar las vidas y carreras de unos pocos; lo que hace que se comience a crear una comprensión más integral de la moda estadounidense y su gran impacto en la cultura y la sociedad.

Jose Luis has been performing for over thirty years and is highly regarded as a gifted harpist by his peers. Jose Luis is the only harpist to play both the classic concert harp and the Latin lever harp; which requires him to pluck the strings with two different techniques; the first uses his fingertips and the second his nails.
Jose Luis first fell in love with the sound of the harp and began studying in his early teens with Maestro Jose Serrano in Puerto Rico. He later visited Los Angeles to take private lessons with the world-renowned harpist and composer Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

José Luis lleva más de treinta años tocando el arpa y es muy respetado por sus colegas como un arpista talentoso. José Luis es el único arpista que toca tanto el arpa de concierto clásica como el arpa de palanca latina; lo que requiere que toque las cuerdas con dos técnicas diferentes; la primera utiliza los dedos y la segunda las uñas. José Luis se enamoró por primera vez del sonido del arpa y comenzó a estudiar en su adolescencia con el Maestro José Serrano en Puerto Rico. Más tarde visitó Los Ángeles para tomar clases con el mundialmente reconocido arpista y compositor Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

Embrace your inner artist with this photography workshop at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum! Students will learn about photography and how to use the provided cameras. Afterward, the group will explore Inwood and take photographs following a selected theme. One photograph will be selected from each student to be exhibited at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum!
Students will learn to understand photographic form and use related vocabulary to support their analyses of photographs, as well as articulate the process of creating meaning through form, content, and context. Students will expand their visual literacy by learning to look, and by decoding images reviewed in class and encoding these ideas into their own original photographs outside of class in the surrounding area. The students will be asked to see the Dyckman community as a principal subject. Through direct involvement with the camera they will be asked to create unique visual images that articulate the varied aesthetics of the community.
