Listening back to Parley

2220987

{"url":"http://www.nycgovparks.org/events/2026/10/03/listening-back-to-parley"}

Join us for a discussion with exhibiting artists Angel Nevarez & Valerie Tevere and legendary hip-hop artist La Roka (Rokafella). Presented in conjunction with the exhibition As far as the ear can hear, this program revisits the artists' collaboration on Parley, one of four works in the exhibition that explores sound across the landscapes of the Bronx, New Orleans, and the Sonoran Desert. Originally commissioned for the 2015 exhibition When You Cut Into the Present, the Future Leaks Out at the Old Bronx Borough Courthouse, Parley, performed by pioneering Bronx b-girl Rokafella (Ana Garcia) and MC Lady L (Lynn Saunders) draws on the sampling techniques and lyrical traditions of early hip-hop to reanimate questions of truth, justice, and hope. Using the musical framework of call and response to form a multilingual dialogue between two voices, Parley reflects Nevarez & Tevere's ongoing interest in framing sound and listening as a transformative practice that connects fragmented histories and collective memory to open new forms of relation. Glyndor Gallery is wheelchair-accessible. There is an accessible, ground-level entrance at the front of the building with an elevator that provides access to the gallery level. The Sunroom Project Space can be accessed with an ADA-compliant ramp. The restroom on the gallery level is all-gender and ADA-compliant. The Glyndor Terrace Garden is accessible via a bluestone path that begins south of the Glyndor House entrance and continues along its western perimeter towards an ADA-compliant ramp located at the Glyndor Terrace Garden’s north entrance.

Van Cortlandt Park in PicturesPhotography by Billy Cleary Opening Reception: Saturday, October 3, 2026 | 3:00–5:00 PMVan Cortlandt House Museum presents Van Cortlandt Park in Pictures, a photography exhibition by Riverdale photographer Billy Cleary celebrating the landscapes, wildlife, and changing seasons of Van Cortlandt Park.A Riverdale resident for more than three decades, Cleary has spent years photographing the places and scenes that define his surroundings. His images capture familiar views of Van Cortlandt Park throughout the year, from tree-lined paths and expansive fields to the park’s ponds, wildlife, and historic entrances. Together, the photographs offer a personal portrait of one of the Bronx’s most significant green spaces through the eyes of a longtime neighbor.Cleary’s interest in photography took on new importance during the pandemic, when he began sharing more of his work on social media. Messages from people who were largely confined to their homes and looked forward to seeing his photographs encouraged him to continue documenting and sharing the landscapes around him. His work has since appeared in group exhibitions with the Riverdale Art Association and in solo exhibitions at the Riverdale-Yonkers Society for Ethical Culture and An Beal Bocht Café.The public is invited to meet the photographer and view the exhibition during an opening reception on Saturday, October 3, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM at Van Cortlandt House Museum. Light refreshments will be served.Please note: The opening reception is for guests ages 21 and over. IDs will be checked at the door.Van Cortlandt Park in Pictures will remain on view through November 8, 2026.Accessibility: at this time, the historic house is accessed using one set of stairs. The exhibition opening reception will take place on the first floor.

Here, proximity becomes more than a matter of place—it becomes a context through which individual practices develop, intersect, and inform one another.  When: October 2 - December 13Fridays & Saturdays, 12:00 PM-7:00 PM | Sundays, 11:00 AM- 5:00 PMWhere: Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, Main Hall Gallery, Building C  (View Site Map and Directions)Admission:$5.00 – General Admission$4.00 – Students/SeniorsPlease note: On October 16, we will host an opening reception for PROXIMITY from 6-8 PM.
