Description
<p>&ldquo;Icons in their Own Right&rdquo;, an art installation by Makeba &quot;KEEBS&quot; Rainey, seeks to remedy historic erasure, champion cultural representation, and reinforce identity and pride.&nbsp;</p><p>Makeba&rsquo;s artistry is heavily influenced by hip-hop culture and Black consciousness.&nbsp;She carefully chooses each photograph of her characters to reflect a demeanor of confidence and power. She then selects an African-themed design that best contextualizes each figure&rsquo;s attitude, creating an a exchange of multiple layers and emotions. We hope visitors will be inspired, among others, by President Obama resting in his power, Grace Jones posing confidently, Solange&rsquo;s exhibiting quiet strength, and Langston Hughes looking casually amused. These are meant to be faces of mastery, intrigue, and calm, culminating in a rainbow of Black excellence that resonates with every walk of life.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>This exhibit will be on view at the Old Stone House at Washington Park on Fridays&nbsp;from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., or by appointment.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About the Artist</strong><br />Makeba &ldquo;KEEBS&rdquo; Rainey is a Harlem native inspired by her community and fellow emerging visual and performance artists. She is the founder of Black Capital Coalition (BCC), which promotes both visual and performance artists through creative collaborations between artists, businesses, and cultural institutions.</p><p>Co- Curated by Monica O. Montgomery, Museum of Impact and Katherine Gressel, Old Stone House &amp; Washington Park.&nbsp;</p>

Description
<p>This is acoustic instrumental <a href="https://www.meetup.com/Brooklyn-Traditional-Slow-Jam/">meet-up</a> focuses on tunes in the Irish, English, New England Old Time, French Canadian, American Southern, and Scandinavian traditions. Tunes are those that are typically suitable for contra dancing or other traditional fiddle tunes.</p><p>This group is intended to provide a musical home for folks interested in playing tunes with other musicians, learning to play by ear and overall increasing their own musical skill. It&rsquo;s fun and welcoming to all ages and levels of playing. While we won&rsquo;t play from sheet music, you can certainly use this as a reference on your own!<br /><br />What do you mean by slow jam? All acoustic instruments (e.g., fiddle, mandolin, guitar, cello, etc.) are welcome and the typical format is that we sit in a circle (or circle-ish, depending on the space) and take turns suggesting/leading a song. The songs will typically follow the AABB format (two &ldquo;A&rdquo; parts followed by two &ldquo;B&rdquo; parts) and we will simply play it over many repeats and if you know it, great, but if you don&rsquo;t, you try to figure it out as we go along, maybe picking up a few notes here and there. We&rsquo;ll play tunes at a slow to moderate speed so that they are accessible to a variety of levels.<br /><br />It&rsquo;s fun and can be challenging, but is a great way to improve your playing. You don&rsquo;t have to be a great player, play in tune, or know the songs to give it a shot. If you want to suggest a song, you should either know the song well enough to play it on repeat or we can see if anyone else does!<br />&nbsp;</p>

<p> Urban Park Rangers specialize in interpretation of historic turning points, both natural and man<span style="font-size: 12px;">made, in our city&rsquo;s long history. &nbsp;The Jeffrey&#39;s Hook Lighthouse originated in Sandy Hook, New Jersey. &nbsp;The Coast Guard relocated it to the west side of Manhattan in 1921. &nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px;">The story of the lighthouse in Fort Washington Park was popularized by the children&#39;s book The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge by Hildegarde H. Swift with illustrations by Lynd Ward, published in 1942. &nbsp;Join the Urban Park Rangers as we open the doors and allow patrons to enjoy the views and sights on this mostly self-guided tour. &nbsp;No reservations needed, first come first served.</span></p>

Description
<p>Marking Socrates Sculpture Park&rsquo;s 30th anniversary this year, the institution presents <em>Landmark</em>, a series of artist commissions and projects that transforms the land both physically and symbolically. Once an industrial landfill and illegal dumping ground, Socrates has transformed itself into New York City&rsquo;s preeminent sculpture park and social space for public art, community engagement and urban discovery. <em>Landmark</em> directly addresses the idea of place as intimately tied to social and ecological structures, to maintenance and stewardship, and to evolution over time.</p><p><em>Landmark</em> features eight different artist projects including a newly commissioned major earthwork by Meg Webster. Additional artists in the exhibition include Abigail DeVille, Brendan Fernandes, Cary Leibowitz, Jessica Segall, Casey Tang, the curatorial collective ARTPORT_making waves, and a&nbsp;Broadway Billboard&nbsp;by Hank Willis Thomas. Since its inception in 1986, Socrates and the surrounding area of Queens, New York has rapidly changed. Whether by engaging directly with the land or commenting on the neighborhood&rsquo;s cultural and economic shifts, each artwork in <em>Landmark&nbsp;</em>reflects historic transformations in the making.</p>
