Arch(itecture) Homages Meet Art Advocacy : Architecture-Inspired Paintings and Published Text by Helen Levin

Starts: 12:00 am

Ends: October 1, 2023 - 11:59 pm

Location: Wagner College Union Gallery @ 1 Campus Road, Staten Island, New York, 10301

Description:

Come view a collection of paintings and published texts by artist, Helen Levin.

Helen's paintings are a love affair between the dynamics of pictorial space and contemporary architecture. She aims to capture the sense of movement and energy of both interior and exterior spaces suggested by structures of these architects: Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry, Steven Holl, and Antoine Predock. The drama and sculptural quality of architecture today offers, for her, a drama that represents her own psychic space.

Picturing the Water: The Photography of Alice Austen

Starts: 12:00 am

Ends: October 1, 2023 - 11:59 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Alice Austen House and the Noble Maritime Collection present a collection of never-before-seen nautical photographs of one of America’s earliest and most prolific female photographers. Living and working on Staten Island during the Gilded Age, Alice Austen (1866–1952) was one of the first women photographers to work outside the confines of a studio, employing a visionary documentary style that was ahead of its time. Picturing the Water explores Austen’s deep connection to both local and international waterways and the vessels that traverse them. The newly printed photographs, reproduced from Austen’s glass plate and film negatives, will be framed in John Noble’s signature handmade frames, reflecting on parallels between the artists’ visions.

This exhibition was guest-curated by Alice Austen House Executive Director Victoria Munro with collections assistance by Kristine Allegretti.

Mexican Heritage Photography Exhibit

Starts: 6:00 am

Ends: October 1, 2023 - 9:00 pm

Location: Bernikow JCC @ 1466 Manor Road, Staten Island, New York, 10314

Description:

I’m pleased to share that I have received a DCA Art Fund Staten Island Arts 2023 grant. I will be presenting a Mexican Heritage's solo photography exhibit featuring a combination of thirty black-and-white and color photographs of the local Mexican immigrant community, a selection from my ongoing photo documentary series, Simple Moments of an Emerging Presence.

The Mexican community in Staten Island, New York, is a vibrant and integral part of the diverse tapestry of the borough. After several decades of immigration, this community has enriched the local culture with its traditions, and lively celebrations. From the traditional Staten Island Día Muertos, Our Lady of Guadalupe festivals, private celebrations, to authentic Mexican cuisine from local restaurants and food trucks, their influence is palpable. Despite facing challenges such as language barriers and immigration uncertainties, the Mexican community has shown remarkable resilience, creating support networks and cultural spaces that empower its members. Aspirations for a brighter future and a commitment to preserve their heritage while embracing their new home characterize the spirit of the Mexican community on Staten Island.

Why do we Walk?
The money raised through the Walk for Apraxia supports the programs of Apraxia Kids. Our mission is to strengthen the support systems in the lives of children with apraxia of speech by educating professionals and families; facilitating community engagement and outreach; and investing in the future through advocacy and research. We would not be able to achieve our mission without the funds raised through the Walk for Apraxia.

Get connected to a community of support!
The Walk brings together parents, family members, and professionals to fundraise for Apraxia Kids and connect with one another. The Walk is about giving our Apraxia Stars and their families a space to be understood and supported. At the Walk for Apraxia, everyone “gets it”.

Celebrate your Apraxia Star!
The Walk for Apraxia celebrates the lives and achievements of our kids, our Apraxia Stars, who work tirelessly every day to overcome childhood apraxia of speech. Every Apraxia Star attending the Walk for Apraxia is recognized individually for their hard work. At the Walk for Apraxia, we celebrate together with our Apraxia Stars so they can feel the love and support of their friends, families, and community wherever they are.

Raise awareness of childhood apraxia of speech!
The Walk for Apraxia is the largest apraxia awareness event in the country! By joining the Walk for Apraxia and inviting others to support, you play an essential role in making sure every child with apraxia of speech can find the support they need. Every time you share about childhood apraxia of speech with someone new, you are creating a future where more children can find the care they need because apraxia is understood, not unknown.

Staten Island Urban …
Staten Island Urban Center presents We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential - Multimedia Art Exhibition at Governors Island

Starts: 11:00 am

Ends: October 1, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Governor's Island - Nolan Park - Building 5 @ Governor's Island, New York, New York, 11231, United States

Description:

Opening May 5, 2023, through October 31, 2023, Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) debuts “We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential,” a public multimedia art exhibition that foundationally centers on Staten Island’s north shore waterfront as a place in pursuit of social change and environmental justice. The exhibit is located at Governors Island’s Nolan Park House 5B. Doors open at noon May 5. Subsequently, presenting Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibit offers art, music, and opportunities for visitors to examine the struggle, potential, creativity and beauty of waterfront neighborhoods when community voices are at the center and fighting for environmental and social justice.

“We know that our city includes some of the most incredible public waterfronts in the world, but we also know that the benefits of incredible waterfront design have not been, equitably, equally, or even fairly realized, so we need to change that.” said Kelly Vilar, curator of “We Are a Waterfront” and CEO of the Staten Island Urban Center. “Our hope is that this exhibit challenges this view and helps to activate the average New Yorker into being a voice for change.”

At our opening on May 5, 2023, we will host “Music on the Porch,” a listening and dancing- freedom mixed set with hours of tracks that highlight activism in environmental and social justice movements. Guest DJs to be announced.

“We Are A Waterfront” installations presented by Staten Island Urban Center and other activists speak to a myriad of social issues such including,

• Video excerpts from “Our Urban Town: Reimagining Staten Island Waterfront Communities”--a short documentary about community-driven ideas for waterfront development in Staten Island’s North Shore community.

• A multimedia installation called “Landfill Fashionistas: Image, Culture and Environment through the Lens of Young Girls of Color from Staten Island.” (Produced by young people of the Staten Island Urban Center.)

• Collected and borrowed works from Sarah Yuster’s “Vulnerable Landscapes;” Sculpture by Olga Ayala; and north shore waterfront landscape photographs by John Kilcullen.

“We Are A Waterfront” highlights the need for positive, inclusive social change through participatory art to engage visitors of all ages. The exhibit will not only share beautiful works of art and imagination, but expresses hope to spur environmental activism– whether it be in the form of a reformed litterbug, a newborn environmental justice advocate, or further the hopes of a seasoned agent of social change. Some of the hands-on activations in the exhibit include:

• Highlighting the work of city and statewide coalitions such as the Racial Impact Study Coalition, NY Renews and the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance.

• Access to digital petitions for various environmental and social causes to affect laws, policies and funding.

• Free distribution of clothing to highlight the ideals of recycling, upcycling and reuse in the fight against fast fashion and pollution.

Staten Island Urban Center is an Organization In Residence at Governors Island exhibiting May 5, 2023, through Oct 31, 2023, showing 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. “We Are a Waterfront” is made possible through the Trust For Governors Island, NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, NY Renews-Tides Advocacy, Creatives Rebuild New York with Lost Horizon Films, The Staten Island Foundation, The Pinkerton Foundation and private donors. Loaned works are provided by artists and collectors Deborah Quinones, Soraya Candelario, Sarah Yuster, Rachel Sanchez, Caryn Davis, Olga Ayala, Virginia Allen, John Kilcullen, Everet Curry, Angelo Roman, and others.

Staten Island Urban Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. The mission of the Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) is to strengthen neighborhoods by way of community development through community involvement. We lift the voice of our borough’s most marginalized and disenfranchised people through collective solution building in pursuit of cultural equity, thrivability, self-determination, and independence. We organize with youth and grassroots community leaders and utilize community-produced art and media to uplift social justice issues.

Andrea Doria: Rescue…
Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 1, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea, an exhibition about the 1956 sinking of the SS Andrea Doria and the rescue of her passengers.

The exhibition will be on view from June 16, 2022 through June 2023. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, June 16 from 6 to 8 PM.

The SS Andrea Doria was the pride of postwar Italy. A glamorous transatlantic ocean liner, she was a “floating art gallery” and a marvel of midcentury modern design. She carried celebrities as well as Italian immigrants to new opportunities in America.

On July 25, 1956, the Swedish liner MS Stockholm collided with the Andrea Doria, which was en route to New York. The subsequent rescue was one of the most dramatic and well-documented in sea history.

The Andrea Doria foundered 11 hours after the collision, and now lays on her starboard side 250 feet below the surface, about 50 miles from Nantucket.

The exhibition will feature objects and artifacts from the extensive collection of diver and researcher John Moyer, Salvor in Possession of the Andrea Doria.

In addition to numerous rare photographs and artwork, on display will be a lifering from the Andrea Doria, as well as china from all passenger classes, pottery, glassware, silverware, and the ship’s brass bell, recovered by Moyer and a team of divers.

The exhibition was developed with the guidance of survivor, educator, author, and filmmaker Pierette Domenica Simpson, who is the gatekeeper of Andrea Doria survivor stories. She is the author of the books Alive on the Andrea Doria!: The Greatest Sea Rescue in History and I Was Shipwrecked on the Andrea Doria! The Titanic of the 1950s

Archival newsreel footage of the Andrea Doria’s maiden voyage, the collision, and the rescue of her passengers—all provided by the Sherman Grinberg Library—will be shown in the exhibition on a converted Firestone television from 1956, the year of the sinking.

The exhibition also includes underwater footage shot by Bill Campbell and Billy Deans of John Moyer and a team diving to the wreck and recovering two 1,000-pound ceramic mural panels by Italian artist Guido Gambone (1909-1969).

In 1993, Moyer was awarded an Admiralty Arrest in US Federal Court and named Salvor in Possession of the wreck. In the ruling, US District Judge Joseph H. Rodriguez stated Moyer’s “research and archeological documentation of his effort indicate a respect for the Andrea Doria as something more than just a commercial salvage project.”

Photographs of some of the Andrea Doria survivors are featured in the exhibition, including Simpson, who, at nine years old, was immigrating to the United States with her grandparents, Pietro and Domenica Burzio, to start a new life with her mother Vivian, who had moved to Detroit eight years earlier to pursue the American Dream.

Simpson wrote and produced the 2016 documentary Andrea Doria: Are the Passengers Saved?, directed by Luca Guardabascio of Rome. To mark the 66^th

Arc of Twenty Years
Arc of Twenty Years

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 1, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Arc of Twenty Years, an exhibition independently curated by photographer Michael McWeeney and painter Sarah Yuster featuring art created in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks.

The exhibition will be on view from August 12 to October 3, 2021 in the museum’s library. There will be an opening reception on Wednesday, August 11 from 6 to 8 PM.

Arc of Twenty Years will feature the work of Ghanim Khalil, Scott LoBaido, Diane Matyas, Ann Marie McDonnell, Michael McWeeney, Kristi Pfister, Marguerite Maria Rivas, and Sarah Yuster, all Staten Island artists. It is a multimedia exhibition about the emotional impact and socio-political changes on Staten Island after the attacks.

A lithograph featuring the World Trade Center by John A. Noble (1913-1983), the museum’s namesake, will also be included in the exhibition.

Curator Sarah Yuster states, “In the twenty years since 9/11, much of our populace has notably changed. The way we see ourselves and each other as individuals, as Americans, took a marked trajectory spurred by one event. The exhibition catalogues and explores major aspects of these permutations through art, photography, written word and short films.”

Ms. Yuster continues, “Staten Island is, in many ways, a microcosm of the United States in terms of ethnicities, economics, and ideologies. An immediate and long-term aftermath of that day rippled through the nation. The initial agony of three thousand innocent lives lost at once, the ensuing spasms of fury and fear were felt most intensely here. Empathy, camaraderie, selflessness and unity soared for weeks, galvanizing New Yorkers, but quickly dissipated into dissenting factions. The art and response from all factions will be displayed.”

Curator Michael McWeeney added, “This is not just a memorial; it’s a look at how we as a society have grown over the past 20 years. The artists take you through their personal stories and contemplate how all of our lives have been altered by the 9/11 attacks.”

Sarah Yuster’s painting The Firefighter, on loan from the Staten Island Children’s Museum, as well as three paintings depicting the changing skyline in Lower Manhattan from 1985 to 2014, will be on display.

“Witness,” a poem by Staten Island’s first Poet Laureate Marguerite Maria Rivas, will be featured in the exhibition. Rivas first wrote the poem as an email to a friend in Colorado immediately after the attacks, and it is now part of the National September 11th Museum’s online collection.

Ann Marie McDonnell contributed two bronze sculptures, The Missing and The Faithful, which honor the lives of those lost and the loved ones who mourn them.

Diane Matyas contributed a multimedia work incorporating a painting with an apron and napkin, which she made to honor the lives of the Windows on the World restaurant employees.

Scott LoBaido will exhibit a reproduction of an oil painting that he completed in the immediate aftermath of the attacks; it originally hung in Cargo Cafe in St. George, a local gathering place for the community at that time.

Kristi Pfister will display six paintings, five of which are on ceramic tiles, and one drawing completed in the aftermath of 9/11 depicting people in various states of digging and waiting, searching for answers.

Michael McWeeney will display a photograph of the Tribute in Light taken in March 2002, the first time those lights were lit, as well as a series of portraits with accompanying audio in the subjects’ own words about the Muslim experience after 9/11, as conceived by scholar Ghanim Khalil.

The John A. Noble lithograph Ghost of a Bygone Ferry will be on display from the museum’s collection. This print is his reaction to the passage of time and the decline of numerous ferry routes in New York Harbor by the 1970s; the Twin Towers, under construction, figure prominently in the background of the composition.

For more information about the exhibition, visit noblemaritime.org/arc-of-twenty-years.

This exhibition is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; and by a grant from the Lily Auchincloss Foundation.

The Noble Maritime Collection, located in a former mariners’ dormitory at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, New York, is open from 12 until 5 PM, Thursdays through Sundays. Admission is by donation.

Arch(itecture) Homages Meet Art Advocacy : Architecture-Inspired Paintings and Published Text by Helen Levin

Location: Wagner College Union Gallery @ 1 Campus Road, Staten Island, New York, 10301

Come view a collection of paintings and published texts by artist, Helen Levin.

Helen's paintings are a love affair between the dynamics of pictorial space and contemporary architecture. She aims to capture the sense of movement and energy of both interior and exterior spaces suggested by structures of these architects: Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry, Steven Holl, and Antoine Predock. The drama and sculptural quality of architecture today offers, for her, a drama that represents her own psychic space.

Starts: 6:00 am

Ends: October 2, 2023 - 9:00 pm

Location: Bernikow JCC @ 1466 Manor Road, Staten Island, New York, 10314

Description:

I’m pleased to share that I have received a DCA Art Fund Staten Island Arts 2023 grant. I will be presenting a Mexican Heritage's solo photography exhibit featuring a combination of thirty black-and-white and color photographs of the local Mexican immigrant community, a selection from my ongoing photo documentary series, Simple Moments of an Emerging Presence.

The Mexican community in Staten Island, New York, is a vibrant and integral part of the diverse tapestry of the borough. After several decades of immigration, this community has enriched the local culture with its traditions, and lively celebrations. From the traditional Staten Island Día Muertos, Our Lady of Guadalupe festivals, private celebrations, to authentic Mexican cuisine from local restaurants and food trucks, their influence is palpable. Despite facing challenges such as language barriers and immigration uncertainties, the Mexican community has shown remarkable resilience, creating support networks and cultural spaces that empower its members. Aspirations for a brighter future and a commitment to preserve their heritage while embracing their new home characterize the spirit of the Mexican community on Staten Island.

The Art Guild invites all photographers and artists, high school and older, to submit photography for consideration for My “20/20” World Photography Show, an Online Juried Competition and Exhibition.

What is your “20/20” vision? The past year limited our access to the world and posed unprecedented challenges. It also sparked our creativity. We photographed indoors; or, mask in place, we ventured out to capture new images. Perhaps past work came to mind and we used this time to review or revise it. Show us art that shines through a difficult time. Your work will be exhibited in an online gallery.

CRITERIA All photographic genres are welcome: portraits, landscapes, photojournalism, macro photography and composites. All work must be original. Submitted work must be the artist’s own. Works previously exhibited at The Art Guild Gallery will not be considered.

JUROR OF AWARDS Award-winning photographers Bill and Gen Rudock will serve as Jurors of Awards. With over 60 years of combined photographic experience, they share a love and passion for photography, traveling, nature, and wildlife. Their knowledge and their reputations have made them sought after speakers, lecturers, and workshop instructors.

ENTRY FEE(S) Entry fees are payable online when you upload or by mailing a check or using Paypal as detailed below. Registration is required and fees are non-refundable.

Members: $25 (1-2 pieces)
Non-members: $35 (1-2 pieces)
High School Student members: $15 (1-2 pieces)
One additional entry: $10 (per person)

No more than 3 works per artist. Entry fees are non-refundable.

AWARDS 1st Place $300 • 2nd Place $200 • 3rd Place $100 • Honorable Mentions • Student awards will also be given, if appropriate.

Helen's paintings are a love affair between the dynamics of pictorial space and contemporary architecture. She aims to capture the sense of movement and energy of both interior and exterior spaces suggested by structures of these architects: Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry, Steven Holl, and Antoine Predock. The drama and sculptural quality of architecture today offers, for her, a drama that represents her own psychic space.

Description:

The Alice Austen House and the Noble Maritime Collection present a collection of never-before-seen nautical photographs of one of America’s earliest and most prolific female photographers. Living and working on Staten Island during the Gilded Age, Alice Austen (1866–1952) was one of the first women photographers to work outside the confines of a studio, employing a visionary documentary style that was ahead of its time. Picturing the Water explores Austen’s deep connection to both local and international waterways and the vessels that traverse them. The newly printed photographs, reproduced from Austen’s glass plate and film negatives, will be framed in John Noble’s signature handmade frames, reflecting on parallels between the artists’ visions.

This exhibition was guest-curated by Alice Austen House Executive Director Victoria Munro with collections assistance by Kristine Allegretti.

Description:

I’m pleased to share that I have received a DCA Art Fund Staten Island Arts 2023 grant. I will be presenting a Mexican Heritage's solo photography exhibit featuring a combination of thirty black-and-white and color photographs of the local Mexican immigrant community, a selection from my ongoing photo documentary series, Simple Moments of an Emerging Presence.

The Mexican community in Staten Island, New York, is a vibrant and integral part of the diverse tapestry of the borough. After several decades of immigration, this community has enriched the local culture with its traditions, and lively celebrations. From the traditional Staten Island Día Muertos, Our Lady of Guadalupe festivals, private celebrations, to authentic Mexican cuisine from local restaurants and food trucks, their influence is palpable. Despite facing challenges such as language barriers and immigration uncertainties, the Mexican community has shown remarkable resilience, creating support networks and cultural spaces that empower its members. Aspirations for a brighter future and a commitment to preserve their heritage while embracing their new home characterize the spirit of the Mexican community on Staten Island.

Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 5, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea, an exhibition about the 1956 sinking of the SS Andrea Doria and the rescue of her passengers.

The exhibition will be on view from June 16, 2022 through June 2023. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, June 16 from 6 to 8 PM.

The SS Andrea Doria was the pride of postwar Italy. A glamorous transatlantic ocean liner, she was a “floating art gallery” and a marvel of midcentury modern design. She carried celebrities as well as Italian immigrants to new opportunities in America.

On July 25, 1956, the Swedish liner MS Stockholm collided with the Andrea Doria, which was en route to New York. The subsequent rescue was one of the most dramatic and well-documented in sea history.

The Andrea Doria foundered 11 hours after the collision, and now lays on her starboard side 250 feet below the surface, about 50 miles from Nantucket.

The exhibition will feature objects and artifacts from the extensive collection of diver and researcher John Moyer, Salvor in Possession of the Andrea Doria.

In addition to numerous rare photographs and artwork, on display will be a lifering from the Andrea Doria, as well as china from all passenger classes, pottery, glassware, silverware, and the ship’s brass bell, recovered by Moyer and a team of divers.

The exhibition was developed with the guidance of survivor, educator, author, and filmmaker Pierette Domenica Simpson, who is the gatekeeper of Andrea Doria survivor stories. She is the author of the books Alive on the Andrea Doria!: The Greatest Sea Rescue in History and I Was Shipwrecked on the Andrea Doria! The Titanic of the 1950s

Archival newsreel footage of the Andrea Doria’s maiden voyage, the collision, and the rescue of her passengers—all provided by the Sherman Grinberg Library—will be shown in the exhibition on a converted Firestone television from 1956, the year of the sinking.

The exhibition also includes underwater footage shot by Bill Campbell and Billy Deans of John Moyer and a team diving to the wreck and recovering two 1,000-pound ceramic mural panels by Italian artist Guido Gambone (1909-1969).

In 1993, Moyer was awarded an Admiralty Arrest in US Federal Court and named Salvor in Possession of the wreck. In the ruling, US District Judge Joseph H. Rodriguez stated Moyer’s “research and archeological documentation of his effort indicate a respect for the Andrea Doria as something more than just a commercial salvage project.”

Photographs of some of the Andrea Doria survivors are featured in the exhibition, including Simpson, who, at nine years old, was immigrating to the United States with her grandparents, Pietro and Domenica Burzio, to start a new life with her mother Vivian, who had moved to Detroit eight years earlier to pursue the American Dream.

Simpson wrote and produced the 2016 documentary Andrea Doria: Are the Passengers Saved?, directed by Luca Guardabascio of Rome. To mark the 66^th

Arc of Twenty Years
Arc of Twenty Years

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 5, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Arc of Twenty Years, an exhibition independently curated by photographer Michael McWeeney and painter Sarah Yuster featuring art created in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks.

The exhibition will be on view from August 12 to October 3, 2021 in the museum’s library. There will be an opening reception on Wednesday, August 11 from 6 to 8 PM.

Arc of Twenty Years will feature the work of Ghanim Khalil, Scott LoBaido, Diane Matyas, Ann Marie McDonnell, Michael McWeeney, Kristi Pfister, Marguerite Maria Rivas, and Sarah Yuster, all Staten Island artists. It is a multimedia exhibition about the emotional impact and socio-political changes on Staten Island after the attacks.

A lithograph featuring the World Trade Center by John A. Noble (1913-1983), the museum’s namesake, will also be included in the exhibition.

Curator Sarah Yuster states, “In the twenty years since 9/11, much of our populace has notably changed. The way we see ourselves and each other as individuals, as Americans, took a marked trajectory spurred by one event. The exhibition catalogues and explores major aspects of these permutations through art, photography, written word and short films.”

Ms. Yuster continues, “Staten Island is, in many ways, a microcosm of the United States in terms of ethnicities, economics, and ideologies. An immediate and long-term aftermath of that day rippled through the nation. The initial agony of three thousand innocent lives lost at once, the ensuing spasms of fury and fear were felt most intensely here. Empathy, camaraderie, selflessness and unity soared for weeks, galvanizing New Yorkers, but quickly dissipated into dissenting factions. The art and response from all factions will be displayed.”

Curator Michael McWeeney added, “This is not just a memorial; it’s a look at how we as a society have grown over the past 20 years. The artists take you through their personal stories and contemplate how all of our lives have been altered by the 9/11 attacks.”

Sarah Yuster’s painting The Firefighter, on loan from the Staten Island Children’s Museum, as well as three paintings depicting the changing skyline in Lower Manhattan from 1985 to 2014, will be on display.

“Witness,” a poem by Staten Island’s first Poet Laureate Marguerite Maria Rivas, will be featured in the exhibition. Rivas first wrote the poem as an email to a friend in Colorado immediately after the attacks, and it is now part of the National September 11th Museum’s online collection.

Ann Marie McDonnell contributed two bronze sculptures, The Missing and The Faithful, which honor the lives of those lost and the loved ones who mourn them.

Diane Matyas contributed a multimedia work incorporating a painting with an apron and napkin, which she made to honor the lives of the Windows on the World restaurant employees.

Scott LoBaido will exhibit a reproduction of an oil painting that he completed in the immediate aftermath of the attacks; it originally hung in Cargo Cafe in St. George, a local gathering place for the community at that time.

Kristi Pfister will display six paintings, five of which are on ceramic tiles, and one drawing completed in the aftermath of 9/11 depicting people in various states of digging and waiting, searching for answers.

Michael McWeeney will display a photograph of the Tribute in Light taken in March 2002, the first time those lights were lit, as well as a series of portraits with accompanying audio in the subjects’ own words about the Muslim experience after 9/11, as conceived by scholar Ghanim Khalil.

The John A. Noble lithograph Ghost of a Bygone Ferry will be on display from the museum’s collection. This print is his reaction to the passage of time and the decline of numerous ferry routes in New York Harbor by the 1970s; the Twin Towers, under construction, figure prominently in the background of the composition.

For more information about the exhibition, visit noblemaritime.org/arc-of-twenty-years.

This exhibition is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; and by a grant from the Lily Auchincloss Foundation.

The Noble Maritime Collection, located in a former mariners’ dormitory at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, New York, is open from 12 until 5 PM, Thursdays through Sundays. Admission is by donation.

Staten Island Mode: Fashion, Identity, and the Forgotten Borough's LGBTQ+ Community

Starts: 7:00 pm

Ends: October 5, 2023 - 9:00 pm

Location: Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden

Description:
From Audre Lorde to Alice Austen, LGBTQ+ folks have played a vital part in Staten Island’s history. We’ve been community leaders, activists, artists, and most importantly your neighbors. But how does living in the Forgotten Borough impact the way we express ourselves through fashion? Is it in the way we accessorize to signal to other people in our community that we are one of them? Or is it dressing conservatively while on the island, but getting changed into an outfit that fits our true selves in the ferry bathroom?

Join Alexis Romano, co-curator of the new exhibition “Staten Island Mode: Identity, Memory, Fashion” and Allison Nellis, creator of the Staten Island LGBTQ+ History Project, for a community dialogue on how our identities correlate with the way we express ourselves through fashion. With a focus on our images and objects, discussion leaders from the community will invite you to listen or share your own stories.

WHEN: October 5,2023 | 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
WHERE: Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, Main Hall Gallery, Building C
ADMISSION: Contribute what you wish ($0-15) | Registration Required | REGISTER HERE: https://snugharbor.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/events/a0S8V00000UtoG1UAJ

About the exhibition
Staten Island Mode: Identity, Memory, Fashion – the first major contemporary fashion exhibition on Staten Island – is a community-driven exploration of what people wear and why, in relation to personal and local identity.

Pippin is the story of a young prince, heir to the throne, who is searching for his own “corner of the sky.” Pippin returns from university certain that he will find a fulfilling purpose in life. The Leading Player encourages Pippin to dabble in bloody battle, in lusty sexual entanglements and in savvy political maneuvers.

Starts: 12:00 am

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Alice Austen House and the Noble Maritime Collection present a collection of never-before-seen nautical photographs of one of America’s earliest and most prolific female photographers. Living and working on Staten Island during the Gilded Age, Alice Austen (1866–1952) was one of the first women photographers to work outside the confines of a studio, employing a visionary documentary style that was ahead of its time. Picturing the Water explores Austen’s deep connection to both local and international waterways and the vessels that traverse them. The newly printed photographs, reproduced from Austen’s glass plate and film negatives, will be framed in John Noble’s signature handmade frames, reflecting on parallels between the artists’ visions.

This exhibition was guest-curated by Alice Austen House Executive Director Victoria Munro with collections assistance by Kristine Allegretti.

Description:

I’m pleased to share that I have received a DCA Art Fund Staten Island Arts 2023 grant. I will be presenting a Mexican Heritage's solo photography exhibit featuring a combination of thirty black-and-white and color photographs of the local Mexican immigrant community, a selection from my ongoing photo documentary series, Simple Moments of an Emerging Presence.

The Mexican community in Staten Island, New York, is a vibrant and integral part of the diverse tapestry of the borough. After several decades of immigration, this community has enriched the local culture with its traditions, and lively celebrations. From the traditional Staten Island Día Muertos, Our Lady of Guadalupe festivals, private celebrations, to authentic Mexican cuisine from local restaurants and food trucks, their influence is palpable. Despite facing challenges such as language barriers and immigration uncertainties, the Mexican community has shown remarkable resilience, creating support networks and cultural spaces that empower its members. Aspirations for a brighter future and a commitment to preserve their heritage while embracing their new home characterize the spirit of the Mexican community on Staten Island.

Staten Island Urban Center presents We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential - Multimedia Art Exhibition at Governors Island

Starts: 11:00 am

Ends: October 6, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Governor's Island - Nolan Park - Building 5 @ Governor's Island, New York, New York, 11231, United States

Description:

Opening May 5, 2023, through October 31, 2023, Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) debuts “We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential,” a public multimedia art exhibition that foundationally centers on Staten Island’s north shore waterfront as a place in pursuit of social change and environmental justice. The exhibit is located at Governors Island’s Nolan Park House 5B. Doors open at noon May 5. Subsequently, presenting Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibit offers art, music, and opportunities for visitors to examine the struggle, potential, creativity and beauty of waterfront neighborhoods when community voices are at the center and fighting for environmental and social justice.

“We know that our city includes some of the most incredible public waterfronts in the world, but we also know that the benefits of incredible waterfront design have not been, equitably, equally, or even fairly realized, so we need to change that.” said Kelly Vilar, curator of “We Are a Waterfront” and CEO of the Staten Island Urban Center. “Our hope is that this exhibit challenges this view and helps to activate the average New Yorker into being a voice for change.”

At our opening on May 5, 2023, we will host “Music on the Porch,” a listening and dancing- freedom mixed set with hours of tracks that highlight activism in environmental and social justice movements. Guest DJs to be announced.

“We Are A Waterfront” installations presented by Staten Island Urban Center and other activists speak to a myriad of social issues such including,

• Video excerpts from “Our Urban Town: Reimagining Staten Island Waterfront Communities”--a short documentary about community-driven ideas for waterfront development in Staten Island’s North Shore community.

• A multimedia installation called “Landfill Fashionistas: Image, Culture and Environment through the Lens of Young Girls of Color from Staten Island.” (Produced by young people of the Staten Island Urban Center.)

• Collected and borrowed works from Sarah Yuster’s “Vulnerable Landscapes;” Sculpture by Olga Ayala; and north shore waterfront landscape photographs by John Kilcullen.

“We Are A Waterfront” highlights the need for positive, inclusive social change through participatory art to engage visitors of all ages. The exhibit will not only share beautiful works of art and imagination, but expresses hope to spur environmental activism– whether it be in the form of a reformed litterbug, a newborn environmental justice advocate, or further the hopes of a seasoned agent of social change. Some of the hands-on activations in the exhibit include:

• Highlighting the work of city and statewide coalitions such as the Racial Impact Study Coalition, NY Renews and the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance.

• Access to digital petitions for various environmental and social causes to affect laws, policies and funding.

• Free distribution of clothing to highlight the ideals of recycling, upcycling and reuse in the fight against fast fashion and pollution.

Staten Island Urban Center is an Organization In Residence at Governors Island exhibiting May 5, 2023, through Oct 31, 2023, showing 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. “We Are a Waterfront” is made possible through the Trust For Governors Island, NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, NY Renews-Tides Advocacy, Creatives Rebuild New York with Lost Horizon Films, The Staten Island Foundation, The Pinkerton Foundation and private donors. Loaned works are provided by artists and collectors Deborah Quinones, Soraya Candelario, Sarah Yuster, Rachel Sanchez, Caryn Davis, Olga Ayala, Virginia Allen, John Kilcullen, Everet Curry, Angelo Roman, and others.

Staten Island Urban Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. The mission of the Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) is to strengthen neighborhoods by way of community development through community involvement. We lift the voice of our borough’s most marginalized and disenfranchised people through collective solution building in pursuit of cultural equity, thrivability, self-determination, and independence. We organize with youth and grassroots community leaders and utilize community-produced art and media to uplift social justice issues.

Andrea Doria: Rescue…
Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 6, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea, an exhibition about the 1956 sinking of the SS Andrea Doria and the rescue of her passengers.

The exhibition will be on view from June 16, 2022 through June 2023. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, June 16 from 6 to 8 PM.

The SS Andrea Doria was the pride of postwar Italy. A glamorous transatlantic ocean liner, she was a “floating art gallery” and a marvel of midcentury modern design. She carried celebrities as well as Italian immigrants to new opportunities in America.

On July 25, 1956, the Swedish liner MS Stockholm collided with the Andrea Doria, which was en route to New York. The subsequent rescue was one of the most dramatic and well-documented in sea history.

The Andrea Doria foundered 11 hours after the collision, and now lays on her starboard side 250 feet below the surface, about 50 miles from Nantucket.

The exhibition will feature objects and artifacts from the extensive collection of diver and researcher John Moyer, Salvor in Possession of the Andrea Doria.

In addition to numerous rare photographs and artwork, on display will be a lifering from the Andrea Doria, as well as china from all passenger classes, pottery, glassware, silverware, and the ship’s brass bell, recovered by Moyer and a team of divers.

The exhibition was developed with the guidance of survivor, educator, author, and filmmaker Pierette Domenica Simpson, who is the gatekeeper of Andrea Doria survivor stories. She is the author of the books Alive on the Andrea Doria!: The Greatest Sea Rescue in History and I Was Shipwrecked on the Andrea Doria! The Titanic of the 1950s

Archival newsreel footage of the Andrea Doria’s maiden voyage, the collision, and the rescue of her passengers—all provided by the Sherman Grinberg Library—will be shown in the exhibition on a converted Firestone television from 1956, the year of the sinking.

The exhibition also includes underwater footage shot by Bill Campbell and Billy Deans of John Moyer and a team diving to the wreck and recovering two 1,000-pound ceramic mural panels by Italian artist Guido Gambone (1909-1969).

In 1993, Moyer was awarded an Admiralty Arrest in US Federal Court and named Salvor in Possession of the wreck. In the ruling, US District Judge Joseph H. Rodriguez stated Moyer’s “research and archeological documentation of his effort indicate a respect for the Andrea Doria as something more than just a commercial salvage project.”

Photographs of some of the Andrea Doria survivors are featured in the exhibition, including Simpson, who, at nine years old, was immigrating to the United States with her grandparents, Pietro and Domenica Burzio, to start a new life with her mother Vivian, who had moved to Detroit eight years earlier to pursue the American Dream.

Simpson wrote and produced the 2016 documentary Andrea Doria: Are the Passengers Saved?, directed by Luca Guardabascio of Rome. To mark the 66^th

Arc of Twenty Years
Arc of Twenty Years

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 6, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Arc of Twenty Years, an exhibition independently curated by photographer Michael McWeeney and painter Sarah Yuster featuring art created in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks.

The exhibition will be on view from August 12 to October 3, 2021 in the museum’s library. There will be an opening reception on Wednesday, August 11 from 6 to 8 PM.

Arc of Twenty Years will feature the work of Ghanim Khalil, Scott LoBaido, Diane Matyas, Ann Marie McDonnell, Michael McWeeney, Kristi Pfister, Marguerite Maria Rivas, and Sarah Yuster, all Staten Island artists. It is a multimedia exhibition about the emotional impact and socio-political changes on Staten Island after the attacks.

A lithograph featuring the World Trade Center by John A. Noble (1913-1983), the museum’s namesake, will also be included in the exhibition.

Curator Sarah Yuster states, “In the twenty years since 9/11, much of our populace has notably changed. The way we see ourselves and each other as individuals, as Americans, took a marked trajectory spurred by one event. The exhibition catalogues and explores major aspects of these permutations through art, photography, written word and short films.”

Ms. Yuster continues, “Staten Island is, in many ways, a microcosm of the United States in terms of ethnicities, economics, and ideologies. An immediate and long-term aftermath of that day rippled through the nation. The initial agony of three thousand innocent lives lost at once, the ensuing spasms of fury and fear were felt most intensely here. Empathy, camaraderie, selflessness and unity soared for weeks, galvanizing New Yorkers, but quickly dissipated into dissenting factions. The art and response from all factions will be displayed.”

Curator Michael McWeeney added, “This is not just a memorial; it’s a look at how we as a society have grown over the past 20 years. The artists take you through their personal stories and contemplate how all of our lives have been altered by the 9/11 attacks.”

Sarah Yuster’s painting The Firefighter, on loan from the Staten Island Children’s Museum, as well as three paintings depicting the changing skyline in Lower Manhattan from 1985 to 2014, will be on display.

“Witness,” a poem by Staten Island’s first Poet Laureate Marguerite Maria Rivas, will be featured in the exhibition. Rivas first wrote the poem as an email to a friend in Colorado immediately after the attacks, and it is now part of the National September 11th Museum’s online collection.

Ann Marie McDonnell contributed two bronze sculptures, The Missing and The Faithful, which honor the lives of those lost and the loved ones who mourn them.

Diane Matyas contributed a multimedia work incorporating a painting with an apron and napkin, which she made to honor the lives of the Windows on the World restaurant employees.

Scott LoBaido will exhibit a reproduction of an oil painting that he completed in the immediate aftermath of the attacks; it originally hung in Cargo Cafe in St. George, a local gathering place for the community at that time.

Kristi Pfister will display six paintings, five of which are on ceramic tiles, and one drawing completed in the aftermath of 9/11 depicting people in various states of digging and waiting, searching for answers.

Michael McWeeney will display a photograph of the Tribute in Light taken in March 2002, the first time those lights were lit, as well as a series of portraits with accompanying audio in the subjects’ own words about the Muslim experience after 9/11, as conceived by scholar Ghanim Khalil.

The John A. Noble lithograph Ghost of a Bygone Ferry will be on display from the museum’s collection. This print is his reaction to the passage of time and the decline of numerous ferry routes in New York Harbor by the 1970s; the Twin Towers, under construction, figure prominently in the background of the composition.

For more information about the exhibition, visit noblemaritime.org/arc-of-twenty-years.

This exhibition is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; and by a grant from the Lily Auchincloss Foundation.

The Noble Maritime Collection, located in a former mariners’ dormitory at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, New York, is open from 12 until 5 PM, Thursdays through Sundays. Admission is by donation.

Staten Island Urban Center presents We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential - Multimedia Art Exhibition at Governors Island

Starts: 11:00 am

Ends: October 7, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Governor's Island - Nolan Park - Building 5 @ Governor's Island, New York, New York, 11231, United States

Description:

Opening May 5, 2023, through October 31, 2023, Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) debuts “We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential,” a public multimedia art exhibition that foundationally centers on Staten Island’s north shore waterfront as a place in pursuit of social change and environmental justice. The exhibit is located at Governors Island’s Nolan Park House 5B. Doors open at noon May 5. Subsequently, presenting Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibit offers art, music, and opportunities for visitors to examine the struggle, potential, creativity and beauty of waterfront neighborhoods when community voices are at the center and fighting for environmental and social justice.

“We know that our city includes some of the most incredible public waterfronts in the world, but we also know that the benefits of incredible waterfront design have not been, equitably, equally, or even fairly realized, so we need to change that.” said Kelly Vilar, curator of “We Are a Waterfront” and CEO of the Staten Island Urban Center. “Our hope is that this exhibit challenges this view and helps to activate the average New Yorker into being a voice for change.”

At our opening on May 5, 2023, we will host “Music on the Porch,” a listening and dancing- freedom mixed set with hours of tracks that highlight activism in environmental and social justice movements. Guest DJs to be announced.

“We Are A Waterfront” installations presented by Staten Island Urban Center and other activists speak to a myriad of social issues such including,

• Video excerpts from “Our Urban Town: Reimagining Staten Island Waterfront Communities”--a short documentary about community-driven ideas for waterfront development in Staten Island’s North Shore community.

• A multimedia installation called “Landfill Fashionistas: Image, Culture and Environment through the Lens of Young Girls of Color from Staten Island.” (Produced by young people of the Staten Island Urban Center.)

• Collected and borrowed works from Sarah Yuster’s “Vulnerable Landscapes;” Sculpture by Olga Ayala; and north shore waterfront landscape photographs by John Kilcullen.

“We Are A Waterfront” highlights the need for positive, inclusive social change through participatory art to engage visitors of all ages. The exhibit will not only share beautiful works of art and imagination, but expresses hope to spur environmental activism– whether it be in the form of a reformed litterbug, a newborn environmental justice advocate, or further the hopes of a seasoned agent of social change. Some of the hands-on activations in the exhibit include:

• Highlighting the work of city and statewide coalitions such as the Racial Impact Study Coalition, NY Renews and the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance.

• Access to digital petitions for various environmental and social causes to affect laws, policies and funding.

• Free distribution of clothing to highlight the ideals of recycling, upcycling and reuse in the fight against fast fashion and pollution.

Staten Island Urban Center is an Organization In Residence at Governors Island exhibiting May 5, 2023, through Oct 31, 2023, showing 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. “We Are a Waterfront” is made possible through the Trust For Governors Island, NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, NY Renews-Tides Advocacy, Creatives Rebuild New York with Lost Horizon Films, The Staten Island Foundation, The Pinkerton Foundation and private donors. Loaned works are provided by artists and collectors Deborah Quinones, Soraya Candelario, Sarah Yuster, Rachel Sanchez, Caryn Davis, Olga Ayala, Virginia Allen, John Kilcullen, Everet Curry, Angelo Roman, and others.

Staten Island Urban Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. The mission of the Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) is to strengthen neighborhoods by way of community development through community involvement. We lift the voice of our borough’s most marginalized and disenfranchised people through collective solution building in pursuit of cultural equity, thrivability, self-determination, and independence.

Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 7, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea, an exhibition about the 1956 sinking of the SS Andrea Doria and the rescue of her passengers.

The exhibition will be on view from June 16, 2022 through June 2023. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, June 16 from 6 to 8 PM.

The SS Andrea Doria was the pride of postwar Italy. A glamorous transatlantic ocean liner, she was a “floating art gallery” and a marvel of midcentury modern design. She carried celebrities as well as Italian immigrants to new opportunities in America.

On July 25, 1956, the Swedish liner MS Stockholm collided with the Andrea Doria, which was en route to New York. The subsequent rescue was one of the most dramatic and well-documented in sea history.

The Andrea Doria foundered 11 hours after the collision, and now lays on her starboard side 250 feet below the surface, about 50 miles from Nantucket.

The exhibition will feature objects and artifacts from the extensive collection of diver and researcher John Moyer, Salvor in Possession of the Andrea Doria.

In addition to numerous rare photographs and artwork, on display will be a lifering from the Andrea Doria, as well as china from all passenger classes, pottery, glassware, silverware, and the ship’s brass bell, recovered by Moyer and a team of divers.

The exhibition was developed with the guidance of survivor, educator, author, and filmmaker Pierette Domenica Simpson, who is the gatekeeper of Andrea Doria survivor stories. She is the author of the books Alive on the Andrea Doria!: The Greatest Sea Rescue in History and I Was Shipwrecked on the Andrea Doria! The Titanic of the 1950s

Archival newsreel footage of the Andrea Doria’s maiden voyage, the collision, and the rescue of her passengers—all provided by the Sherman Grinberg Library—will be shown in the exhibition on a converted Firestone television from 1956, the year of the sinking.

The exhibition also includes underwater footage shot by Bill Campbell and Billy Deans of John Moyer and a team diving to the wreck and recovering two 1,000-pound ceramic mural panels by Italian artist Guido Gambone (1909-1969).

In 1993, Moyer was awarded an Admiralty Arrest in US Federal Court and named Salvor in Possession of the wreck. In the ruling, US District Judge Joseph H. Rodriguez stated Moyer’s “research and archeological documentation of his effort indicate a respect for the Andrea Doria as something more than just a commercial salvage project.”

Photographs of some of the Andrea Doria survivors are featured in the exhibition, including Simpson, who, at nine years old, was immigrating to the United States with her grandparents, Pietro and Domenica Burzio, to start a new life with her mother Vivian, who had moved to Detroit eight years earlier to pursue the American Dream.

Simpson wrote and produced the 2016 documentary Andrea Doria: Are the Passengers Saved?, directed by Luca Guardabascio of Rome. To mark the 66^th

Arc of Twenty Years
Arc of Twenty Years

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 7, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Arc of Twenty Years, an exhibition independently curated by photographer Michael McWeeney and painter Sarah Yuster featuring art created in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks.

The exhibition will be on view from August 12 to October 3, 2021 in the museum’s library. There will be an opening reception on Wednesday, August 11 from 6 to 8 PM.

Arc of Twenty Years will feature the work of Ghanim Khalil, Scott LoBaido, Diane Matyas, Ann Marie McDonnell, Michael McWeeney, Kristi Pfister, Marguerite Maria Rivas, and Sarah Yuster, all Staten Island artists. It is a multimedia exhibition about the emotional impact and socio-political changes on Staten Island after the attacks.

A lithograph featuring the World Trade Center by John A. Noble (1913-1983), the museum’s namesake, will also be included in the exhibition.

Curator Sarah Yuster states, “In the twenty years since 9/11, much of our populace has notably changed. The way we see ourselves and each other as individuals, as Americans, took a marked trajectory spurred by one event. The exhibition catalogues and explores major aspects of these permutations through art, photography, written word and short films.”

Ms. Yuster continues, “Staten Island is, in many ways, a microcosm of the United States in terms of ethnicities, economics, and ideologies. An immediate and long-term aftermath of that day rippled through the nation. The initial agony of three thousand innocent lives lost at once, the ensuing spasms of fury and fear were felt most intensely here. Empathy, camaraderie, selflessness and unity soared for weeks, galvanizing New Yorkers, but quickly dissipated into dissenting factions. The art and response from all factions will be displayed.”

Curator Michael McWeeney added, “This is not just a memorial; it’s a look at how we as a society have grown over the past 20 years. The artists take you through their personal stories and contemplate how all of our lives have been altered by the 9/11 attacks.”

Sarah Yuster’s painting The Firefighter, on loan from the Staten Island Children’s Museum, as well as three paintings depicting the changing skyline in Lower Manhattan from 1985 to 2014, will be on display.

“Witness,” a poem by Staten Island’s first Poet Laureate Marguerite Maria Rivas, will be featured in the exhibition. Rivas first wrote the poem as an email to a friend in Colorado immediately after the attacks, and it is now part of the National September 11th Museum’s online collection.

Ann Marie McDonnell contributed two bronze sculptures, The Missing and The Faithful, which honor the lives of those lost and the loved ones who mourn them.

Diane Matyas contributed a multimedia work incorporating a painting with an apron and napkin, which she made to honor the lives of the Windows on the World restaurant employees.

Scott LoBaido will exhibit a reproduction of an oil painting that he completed in the immediate aftermath of the attacks; it originally hung in Cargo Cafe in St. George, a local gathering place for the community at that time.

Kristi Pfister will display six paintings, five of which are on ceramic tiles, and one drawing completed in the aftermath of 9/11 depicting people in various states of digging and waiting, searching for answers.

Michael McWeeney will display a photograph of the Tribute in Light taken in March 2002, the first time those lights were lit, as well as a series of portraits with accompanying audio in the subjects’ own words about the Muslim experience after 9/11, as conceived by scholar Ghanim Khalil.

The John A. Noble lithograph Ghost of a Bygone Ferry will be on display from the museum’s collection. This print is his reaction to the passage of time and the decline of numerous ferry routes in New York Harbor by the 1970s; the Twin Towers, under construction, figure prominently in the background of the composition.

For more information about the exhibition, visit noblemaritime.org/arc-of-twenty-years.

This exhibition is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; and by a grant from the Lily Auchincloss Foundation.

The Noble Maritime Collection, located in a former mariners’ dormitory at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, New York, is open from 12 until 5 PM, Thursdays through Sundays. Admission is by donation.

Picturing the Water: The Photography of Alice Austen

Starts: 12:00 am

Ends: October 8, 2023 - 11:59 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Alice Austen House and the Noble Maritime Collection present a collection of never-before-seen nautical photographs of one of America’s earliest and most prolific female photographers. Living and working on Staten Island during the Gilded Age, Alice Austen (1866–1952) was one of the first women photographers to work outside the confines of a studio, employing a visionary documentary style that was ahead of its time.

Mexican Heritage Photography Exhibit

Starts: 6:00 am

Ends: October 8, 2023 - 9:00 pm

Location: Bernikow JCC @ 1466 Manor Road, Staten Island, New York, 10314

Description:

I’m pleased to share that I have received a DCA Art Fund Staten Island Arts 2023 grant. I will be presenting a Mexican Heritage's solo photography exhibit featuring a combination of thirty black-and-white and color photographs of the local Mexican immigrant community, a selection from my ongoing photo documentary series, Simple Moments of an Emerging Presence.

The Mexican community in Staten Island, New York, is a vibrant and integral part of the diverse tapestry of the borough. After several decades of immigration, this community has enriched the local culture with its traditions, and lively celebrations. From the traditional Staten Island Día Muertos, Our Lady of Guadalupe festivals, private celebrations, to authentic Mexican cuisine from local restaurants and food trucks, their influence is palpable. Despite facing challenges such as language barriers and immigration uncertainties, the Mexican community has shown remarkable resilience, creating support networks and cultural spaces that empower its members. Aspirations for a brighter future and a commitment to preserve their heritage while embracing their new home characterize the spirit of the Mexican community on Staten Island.

Staten Island Urban …
Staten Island Urban Center presents We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential - Multimedia Art Exhibition at Governors Island

Starts: 11:00 am

Ends: October 8, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Governor's Island - Nolan Park - Building 5 @ Governor's Island, New York, New York, 11231, United States

Description:

Opening May 5, 2023, through October 31, 2023, Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) debuts “We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential,” a public multimedia art exhibition that foundationally centers on Staten Island’s north shore waterfront as a place in pursuit of social change and environmental justice. The exhibit is located at Governors Island’s Nolan Park House 5B. Doors open at noon May 5. Subsequently, presenting Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibit offers art, music, and opportunities for visitors to examine the struggle, potential, creativity and beauty of waterfront neighborhoods when community voices are at the center and fighting for environmental and social justice.

“We know that our city includes some of the most incredible public waterfronts in the world, but we also know that the benefits of incredible waterfront design have not been, equitably, equally, or even fairly realized, so we need to change that.” said Kelly Vilar, curator of “We Are a Waterfront” and CEO of the Staten Island Urban Center. “Our hope is that this exhibit challenges this view and helps to activate the average New Yorker into being a voice for change.”

At our opening on May 5, 2023, we will host “Music on the Porch,” a listening and dancing- freedom mixed set with hours of tracks that highlight activism in environmental and social justice movements. Guest DJs to be announced.

“We Are A Waterfront” installations presented by Staten Island Urban Center and other activists speak to a myriad of social issues such including,

• Video excerpts from “Our Urban Town: Reimagining Staten Island Waterfront Communities”--a short documentary about community-driven ideas for waterfront development in Staten Island’s North Shore community.

• A multimedia installation called “Landfill Fashionistas: Image, Culture and Environment through the Lens of Young Girls of Color from Staten Island.” (Produced by young people of the Staten Island Urban Center.)

• Collected and borrowed works from Sarah Yuster’s “Vulnerable Landscapes;” Sculpture by Olga Ayala; and north shore waterfront landscape photographs by John Kilcullen.

“We Are A Waterfront” highlights the need for positive, inclusive social change through participatory art to engage visitors of all ages. The exhibit will not only share beautiful works of art and imagination, but expresses hope to spur environmental activism– whether it be in the form of a reformed litterbug, a newborn environmental justice advocate, or further the hopes of a seasoned agent of social change. Some of the hands-on activations in the exhibit include:

• Highlighting the work of city and statewide coalitions such as the Racial Impact Study Coalition, NY Renews and the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance.

• Access to digital petitions for various environmental and social causes to affect laws, policies and funding.

• Free distribution of clothing to highlight the ideals of recycling, upcycling and reuse in the fight against fast fashion and pollution.

Staten Island Urban Center is an Organization In Residence at Governors Island exhibiting May 5, 2023, through Oct 31, 2023, showing 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. “We Are a Waterfront” is made possible through the Trust For Governors Island, NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, NY Renews-Tides Advocacy, Creatives Rebuild New York with Lost Horizon Films, The Staten Island Foundation, The Pinkerton Foundation and private donors. Loaned works are provided by artists and collectors Deborah Quinones, Soraya Candelario, Sarah Yuster, Rachel Sanchez, Caryn Davis, Olga Ayala, Virginia Allen, John Kilcullen, Everet Curry, Angelo Roman, and others.

Staten Island Urban Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. The mission of the Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) is to strengthen neighborhoods by way of community development through community involvement. We lift the voice of our borough’s most marginalized and disenfranchised people through collective solution building in pursuit of cultural equity, thrivability, self-determination, and independence. We organize with youth and grassroots community leaders and utilize community-produced art and media to uplift social justice issues.

Andrea Doria: Rescue…
Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 8, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea, an exhibition about the 1956 sinking of the SS Andrea Doria and the rescue of her passengers.

The exhibition will be on view from June 16, 2022 through June 2023. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, June 16 from 6 to 8 PM.

The SS Andrea Doria was the pride of postwar Italy. A glamorous transatlantic ocean liner, she was a “floating art gallery” and a marvel of midcentury modern design. She carried celebrities as well as Italian immigrants to new opportunities in America.

On July 25, 1956, the Swedish liner MS Stockholm collided with the Andrea Doria, which was en route to New York. The subsequent rescue was one of the most dramatic and well-documented in sea history.

The Andrea Doria foundered 11 hours after the collision, and now lays on her starboard side 250 feet below the surface, about 50 miles from Nantucket.

The exhibition will feature objects and artifacts from the extensive collection of diver and researcher John Moyer, Salvor in Possession of the Andrea Doria.

In addition to numerous rare photographs and artwork, on display will be a lifering from the Andrea Doria, as well as china from all passenger classes, pottery, glassware, silverware, and the ship’s brass bell, recovered by Moyer and a team of divers.

The exhibition was developed with the guidance of survivor, educator, author, and filmmaker Pierette Domenica Simpson, who is the gatekeeper of Andrea Doria survivor stories. She is the author of the books Alive on the Andrea Doria!: The Greatest Sea Rescue in History and I Was Shipwrecked on the Andrea Doria! The Titanic of the 1950s

Archival newsreel footage of the Andrea Doria’s maiden voyage, the collision, and the rescue of her passengers—all provided by the Sherman Grinberg Library—will be shown in the exhibition on a converted Firestone television from 1956, the year of the sinking.

The exhibition also includes underwater footage shot by Bill Campbell and Billy Deans of John Moyer and a team diving to the wreck and recovering two 1,000-pound ceramic mural panels by Italian artist Guido Gambone (1909-1969).

In 1993, Moyer was awarded an Admiralty Arrest in US Federal Court and named Salvor in Possession of the wreck. In the ruling, US District Judge Joseph H. Rodriguez stated Moyer’s “research and archeological documentation of his effort indicate a respect for the Andrea Doria as something more than just a commercial salvage project.”

Photographs of some of the Andrea Doria survivors are featured in the exhibition, including Simpson, who, at nine years old, was immigrating to the United States with her grandparents, Pietro and Domenica Burzio, to start a new life with her mother Vivian, who had moved to Detroit eight years earlier to pursue the American Dream.

Simpson wrote and produced the 2016 documentary Andrea Doria: Are the Passengers Saved?, directed by Luca Guardabascio of Rome. To mark the 66^th

Arc of Twenty Years
Arc of Twenty Years

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 8, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Arc of Twenty Years, an exhibition independently curated by photographer Michael McWeeney and painter Sarah Yuster featuring art created in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks.

The exhibition will be on view from August 12 to October 3, 2021 in the museum’s library. There will be an opening reception on Wednesday, August 11 from 6 to 8 PM.

Arc of Twenty Years will feature the work of Ghanim Khalil, Scott LoBaido, Diane Matyas, Ann Marie McDonnell, Michael McWeeney, Kristi Pfister, Marguerite Maria Rivas, and Sarah Yuster, all Staten Island artists. It is a multimedia exhibition about the emotional impact and socio-political changes on Staten Island after the attacks.

A lithograph featuring the World Trade Center by John A. Noble (1913-1983), the museum’s namesake, will also be included in the exhibition.

Curator Sarah Yuster states, “In the twenty years since 9/11, much of our populace has notably changed. The way we see ourselves and each other as individuals, as Americans, took a marked trajectory spurred by one event. The exhibition catalogues and explores major aspects of these permutations through art, photography, written word and short films.”

Ms. Yuster continues, “Staten Island is, in many ways, a microcosm of the United States in terms of ethnicities, economics, and ideologies. An immediate and long-term aftermath of that day rippled through the nation. The initial agony of three thousand innocent lives lost at once, the ensuing spasms of fury and fear were felt most intensely here. Empathy, camaraderie, selflessness and unity soared for weeks, galvanizing New Yorkers, but quickly dissipated into dissenting factions. The art and response from all factions will be displayed.”

Curator Michael McWeeney added, “This is not just a memorial; it’s a look at how we as a society have grown over the past 20 years. The artists take you through their personal stories and contemplate how all of our lives have been altered by the 9/11 attacks.”

Sarah Yuster’s painting The Firefighter, on loan from the Staten Island Children’s Museum, as well as three paintings depicting the changing skyline in Lower Manhattan from 1985 to 2014, will be on display.

“Witness,” a poem by Staten Island’s first Poet Laureate Marguerite Maria Rivas, will be featured in the exhibition. Rivas first wrote the poem as an email to a friend in Colorado immediately after the attacks, and it is now part of the National September 11th Museum’s online collection.

Ann Marie McDonnell contributed two bronze sculptures, The Missing and The Faithful, which honor the lives of those lost and the loved ones who mourn them.

Diane Matyas contributed a multimedia work incorporating a painting with an apron and napkin, which she made to honor the lives of the Windows on the World restaurant employees.

Scott LoBaido will exhibit a reproduction of an oil painting that he completed in the immediate aftermath of the attacks; it originally hung in Cargo Cafe in St. George, a local gathering place for the community at that time.

Kristi Pfister will display six paintings, five of which are on ceramic tiles, and one drawing completed in the aftermath of 9/11 depicting people in various states of digging and waiting, searching for answers.

Michael McWeeney will display a photograph of the Tribute in Light taken in March 2002, the first time those lights were lit, as well as a series of portraits with accompanying audio in the subjects’ own words about the Muslim experience after 9/11, as conceived by scholar Ghanim Khalil.

The John A. Noble lithograph Ghost of a Bygone Ferry will be on display from the museum’s collection. This print is his reaction to the passage of time and the decline of numerous ferry routes in New York Harbor by the 1970s; the Twin Towers, under construction, figure prominently in the background of the composition.

For more information about the exhibition, visit noblemaritime.org/arc-of-twenty-years.

This exhibition is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; and by a grant from the Lily Auchincloss Foundation.

JUROR OF AWARDS Award-winning photographers Bill and Gen Rudock will serve as Jurors of Awards. With over 60 years of combined photographic experience, they share a love and passion for photography, traveling, nature, and wildlife. Their knowledge and their reputations have made them sought after speakers, lecturers, and workshop instructors.

Members: $25 (1-2 pieces)
Non-members: $35 (1-2 pieces)

The Mexican community in Staten Island, New York, is a vibrant and integral part of the diverse tapestry of the borough. After several decades of immigration, this community has enriched the local culture with its traditions, and lively celebrations. From the traditional Staten Island Día Muertos, Our Lady of Guadalupe festivals, private celebrations, to authentic Mexican cuisine from local restaurants and food trucks, their influence is palpable. Despite facing challenges such as language barriers and immigration uncertainties, the Mexican community has shown remarkable resilience, creating support networks and cultural spaces that empower its members. Aspirations for a brighter future and a commitment to preserve their heritage while embracing their new home characterize the spirit of the Mexican community on Staten Island.

The Alice Austen House and the Noble Maritime Collection present a collection of never-before-seen nautical photographs of one of America’s earliest and most prolific female photographers. Living and working on Staten Island during the Gilded Age, Alice Austen (1866–1952) was one of the first women photographers to work outside the confines of a studio, employing a visionary documentary style that was ahead of its time. Picturing the Water explores Austen’s deep connection to both local and international waterways and the vessels that traverse them. The newly printed photographs, reproduced from Austen’s glass plate and film negatives, will be framed in John Noble’s signature handmade frames, reflecting on parallels between the artists’ visions.

This exhibition was guest-curated by Alice Austen House Executive Director Victoria Munro with collections assistance by Kristine Allegretti.

Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 12, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea, an exhibition about the 1956 sinking of the SS Andrea Doria and the rescue of her passengers.

The exhibition will be on view from June 16, 2022 through June 2023. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, June 16 from 6 to 8 PM.

The SS Andrea Doria was the pride of postwar Italy. A glamorous transatlantic ocean liner, she was a “floating art gallery” and a marvel of midcentury modern design. She carried celebrities as well as Italian immigrants to new opportunities in America.

On July 25, 1956, the Swedish liner MS Stockholm collided with the Andrea Doria, which was en route to New York. The subsequent rescue was one of the most dramatic and well-documented in sea history.

The Andrea Doria foundered 11 hours after the collision, and now lays on her starboard side 250 feet below the surface, about 50 miles from Nantucket.

The exhibition will feature objects and artifacts from the extensive collection of diver and researcher John Moyer, Salvor in Possession of the Andrea Doria.

In addition to numerous rare photographs and artwork, on display will be a lifering from the Andrea Doria, as well as china from all passenger classes, pottery, glassware, silverware, and the ship’s brass bell, recovered by Moyer and a team of divers.

The exhibition was developed with the guidance of survivor, educator, author, and filmmaker Pierette Domenica Simpson, who is the gatekeeper of Andrea Doria survivor stories. She is the author of the books Alive on the Andrea Doria!: The Greatest Sea Rescue in History and I Was Shipwrecked on the Andrea Doria! The Titanic of the 1950s

Archival newsreel footage of the Andrea Doria’s maiden voyage, the collision, and the rescue of her passengers—all provided by the Sherman Grinberg Library—will be shown in the exhibition on a converted Firestone television from 1956, the year of the sinking.

The exhibition also includes underwater footage shot by Bill Campbell and Billy Deans of John Moyer and a team diving to the wreck and recovering two 1,000-pound ceramic mural panels by Italian artist Guido Gambone (1909-1969).

In 1993, Moyer was awarded an Admiralty Arrest in US Federal Court and named Salvor in Possession of the wreck. In the ruling, US District Judge Joseph H. Rodriguez stated Moyer’s “research and archeological documentation of his effort indicate a respect for the Andrea Doria as something more than just a commercial salvage project.”

Photographs of some of the Andrea Doria survivors are featured in the exhibition, including Simpson, who, at nine years old, was immigrating to the United States with her grandparents, Pietro and Domenica Burzio, to start a new life with her mother Vivian, who had moved to Detroit eight years earlier to pursue the American Dream.

Simpson wrote and produced the 2016 documentary Andrea Doria: Are the Passengers Saved?, directed by Luca Guardabascio of Rome. To mark the 66^th

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Arc of Twenty Years, an exhibition independently curated by photographer Michael McWeeney and painter Sarah Yuster featuring art created in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks.

The exhibition will be on view from August 12 to October 3, 2021 in the museum’s library. There will be an opening reception on Wednesday, August 11 from 6 to 8 PM.

Arc of Twenty Years will feature the work of Ghanim Khalil, Scott LoBaido, Diane Matyas, Ann Marie McDonnell, Michael McWeeney, Kristi Pfister, Marguerite Maria Rivas, and Sarah Yuster, all Staten Island artists. It is a multimedia exhibition about the emotional impact and socio-political changes on Staten Island after the attacks.

A lithograph featuring the World Trade Center by John A. Noble (1913-1983), the museum’s namesake, will also be included in the exhibition.

Curator Sarah Yuster states, “In the twenty years since 9/11, much of our populace has notably changed. The way we see ourselves and each other as individuals, as Americans, took a marked trajectory spurred by one event. The exhibition catalogues and explores major aspects of these permutations through art, photography, written word and short films.”

Ms. Yuster continues, “Staten Island is, in many ways, a microcosm of the United States in terms of ethnicities, economics, and ideologies. An immediate and long-term aftermath of that day rippled through the nation. The initial agony of three thousand innocent lives lost at once, the ensuing spasms of fury and fear were felt most intensely here. Empathy, camaraderie, selflessness and unity soared for weeks, galvanizing New Yorkers, but quickly dissipated into dissenting factions. The art and response from all factions will be displayed.”

Curator Michael McWeeney added, “This is not just a memorial; it’s a look at how we as a society have grown over the past 20 years. The artists take you through their personal stories and contemplate how all of our lives have been altered by the 9/11 attacks.”

Sarah Yuster’s painting The Firefighter, on loan from the Staten Island Children’s Museum, as well as three paintings depicting the changing skyline in Lower Manhattan from 1985 to 2014, will be on display.

“Witness,” a poem by Staten Island’s first Poet Laureate Marguerite Maria Rivas, will be featured in the exhibition. Rivas first wrote the poem as an email to a friend in Colorado immediately after the attacks, and it is now part of the National September 11th Museum’s online collection.

Ann Marie McDonnell contributed two bronze sculptures, The Missing and The Faithful, which honor the lives of those lost and the loved ones who mourn them.

Diane Matyas contributed a multimedia work incorporating a painting with an apron and napkin, which she made to honor the lives of the Windows on the World restaurant employees.

Scott LoBaido will exhibit a reproduction of an oil painting that he completed in the immediate aftermath of the attacks; it originally hung in Cargo Cafe in St. George, a local gathering place for the community at that time.

Kristi Pfister will display six paintings, five of which are on ceramic tiles, and one drawing completed in the aftermath of 9/11 depicting people in various states of digging and waiting, searching for answers.

Michael McWeeney will display a photograph of the Tribute in Light taken in March 2002, the first time those lights were lit, as well as a series of portraits with accompanying audio in the subjects’ own words about the Muslim experience after 9/11, as conceived by scholar Ghanim Khalil.

The John A. Noble lithograph Ghost of a Bygone Ferry will be on display from the museum’s collection. This print is his reaction to the passage of time and the decline of numerous ferry routes in New York Harbor by the 1970s; the Twin Towers, under construction, figure prominently in the background of the composition.

For more information about the exhibition, visit noblemaritime.org/arc-of-twenty-years.

This exhibition is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; and by a grant from the Lily Auchincloss Foundation.

The Noble Maritime Collection, located in a former mariners’ dormitory at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, New York, is open from 12 until 5 PM, Thursdays through Sundays. Admission is by donation.

Helen's paintings are a love affair between the dynamics of pictorial space and contemporary architecture. She aims to capture the sense of movement and energy of both interior and exterior spaces suggested by structures of these architects: Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry, Steven Holl, and Antoine Predock. The drama and sculptural quality of architecture today offers, for her, a drama that represents her own psychic space.

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Alice Austen House and the Noble Maritime Collection present a collection of never-before-seen nautical photographs of one of America’s earliest and most prolific female photographers. Living and working on Staten Island during the Gilded Age, Alice Austen (1866–1952) was one of the first women photographers to work outside the confines of a studio, employing a visionary documentary style that was ahead of its time. Picturing the Water explores Austen’s deep connection to both local and international waterways and the vessels that traverse them. The newly printed photographs, reproduced from Austen’s glass plate and film negatives, will be framed in John Noble’s signature handmade frames, reflecting on parallels between the artists’ visions.

This exhibition was guest-curated by Alice Austen House Executive Director Victoria Munro with collections assistance by Kristine Allegretti.

Description:

I’m pleased to share that I have received a DCA Art Fund Staten Island Arts 2023 grant. I will be presenting a Mexican Heritage's solo photography exhibit featuring a combination of thirty black-and-white and color photographs of the local Mexican immigrant community, a selection from my ongoing photo documentary series, Simple Moments of an Emerging Presence.

The Mexican community in Staten Island, New York, is a vibrant and integral part of the diverse tapestry of the borough. After several decades of immigration, this community has enriched the local culture with its traditions, and lively celebrations. From the traditional Staten Island Día Muertos, Our Lady of Guadalupe festivals, private celebrations, to authentic Mexican cuisine from local restaurants and food trucks, their influence is palpable. Despite facing challenges such as language barriers and immigration uncertainties, the Mexican community has shown remarkable resilience, creating support networks and cultural spaces that empower its members. Aspirations for a brighter future and a commitment to preserve their heritage while embracing their new home characterize the spirit of the Mexican community on Staten Island.

Staten Island Urban …
Staten Island Urban Center presents We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential - Multimedia Art Exhibition at Governors Island

Starts: 11:00 am

Ends: October 13, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Governor's Island - Nolan Park - Building 5 @ Governor's Island, New York, New York, 11231, United States

Description:

Opening May 5, 2023, through October 31, 2023, Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) debuts “We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential,” a public multimedia art exhibition that foundationally centers on Staten Island’s north shore waterfront as a place in pursuit of social change and environmental justice. The exhibit is located at Governors Island’s Nolan Park House 5B. Doors open at noon May 5. Subsequently, presenting Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibit offers art, music, and opportunities for visitors to examine the struggle, potential, creativity and beauty of waterfront neighborhoods when community voices are at the center and fighting for environmental and social justice.

“We know that our city includes some of the most incredible public waterfronts in the world, but we also know that the benefits of incredible waterfront design have not been, equitably, equally, or even fairly realized, so we need to change that.” said Kelly Vilar, curator of “We Are a Waterfront” and CEO of the Staten Island Urban Center. “Our hope is that this exhibit challenges this view and helps to activate the average New Yorker into being a voice for change.”

At our opening on May 5, 2023, we will host “Music on the Porch,” a listening and dancing- freedom mixed set with hours of tracks that highlight activism in environmental and social justice movements. Guest DJs to be announced.

“We Are A Waterfront” installations presented by Staten Island Urban Center and other activists speak to a myriad of social issues such including,

• Video excerpts from “Our Urban Town: Reimagining Staten Island Waterfront Communities”--a short documentary about community-driven ideas for waterfront development in Staten Island’s North Shore community.

• A multimedia installation called “Landfill Fashionistas: Image, Culture and Environment through the Lens of Young Girls of Color from Staten Island.” (Produced by young people of the Staten Island Urban Center.)

• Collected and borrowed works from Sarah Yuster’s “Vulnerable Landscapes;” Sculpture by Olga Ayala; and north shore waterfront landscape photographs by John Kilcullen.

“We Are A Waterfront” highlights the need for positive, inclusive social change through participatory art to engage visitors of all ages. The exhibit will not only share beautiful works of art and imagination, but expresses hope to spur environmental activism– whether it be in the form of a reformed litterbug, a newborn environmental justice advocate, or further the hopes of a seasoned agent of social change. Some of the hands-on activations in the exhibit include:

• Highlighting the work of city and statewide coalitions such as the Racial Impact Study Coalition, NY Renews and the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance.

• Access to digital petitions for various environmental and social causes to affect laws, policies and funding.

• Free distribution of clothing to highlight the ideals of recycling, upcycling and reuse in the fight against fast fashion and pollution.

Staten Island Urban Center is an Organization In Residence at Governors Island exhibiting May 5, 2023, through Oct 31, 2023, showing 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. “We Are a Waterfront” is made possible through the Trust For Governors Island, NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, NY Renews-Tides Advocacy, Creatives Rebuild New York with Lost Horizon Films, The Staten Island Foundation, The Pinkerton Foundation and private donors. Loaned works are provided by artists and collectors Deborah Quinones, Soraya Candelario, Sarah Yuster, Rachel Sanchez, Caryn Davis, Olga Ayala, Virginia Allen, John Kilcullen, Everet Curry, Angelo Roman, and others.

Staten Island Urban Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. The mission of the Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) is to strengthen neighborhoods by way of community development through community involvement. We lift the voice of our borough’s most marginalized and disenfranchised people through collective solution building in pursuit of cultural equity, thrivability, self-determination, and independence. We organize with youth and grassroots community leaders and utilize community-produced art and media to uplift social justice issues.

Andrea Doria: Rescue…
Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 13, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea, an exhibition about the 1956 sinking of the SS Andrea Doria and the rescue of her passengers.

The exhibition will be on view from June 16, 2022 through June 2023. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, June 16 from 6 to 8 PM.

The SS Andrea Doria was the pride of postwar Italy. A glamorous transatlantic ocean liner, she was a “floating art gallery” and a marvel of midcentury modern design. She carried celebrities as well as Italian immigrants to new opportunities in America.

On July 25, 1956, the Swedish liner MS Stockholm collided with the Andrea Doria, which was en route to New York. The subsequent rescue was one of the most dramatic and well-documented in sea history.

The Andrea Doria foundered 11 hours after the collision, and now lays on her starboard side 250 feet below the surface, about 50 miles from Nantucket.

The exhibition will feature objects and artifacts from the extensive collection of diver and researcher John Moyer, Salvor in Possession of the Andrea Doria.

In addition to numerous rare photographs and artwork, on display will be a lifering from the Andrea Doria, as well as china from all passenger classes, pottery, glassware, silverware, and the ship’s brass bell, recovered by Moyer and a team of divers.

The exhibition was developed with the guidance of survivor, educator, author, and filmmaker Pierette Domenica Simpson, who is the gatekeeper of Andrea Doria survivor stories. She is the author of the books Alive on the Andrea Doria!: The Greatest Sea Rescue in History and I Was Shipwrecked on the Andrea Doria! The Titanic of the 1950s

Archival newsreel footage of the Andrea Doria’s maiden voyage, the collision, and the rescue of her passengers—all provided by the Sherman Grinberg Library—will be shown in the exhibition on a converted Firestone television from 1956, the year of the sinking.

The exhibition also includes underwater footage shot by Bill Campbell and Billy Deans of John Moyer and a team diving to the wreck and recovering two 1,000-pound ceramic mural panels by Italian artist Guido Gambone (1909-1969).

In 1993, Moyer was awarded an Admiralty Arrest in US Federal Court and named Salvor in Possession of the wreck. In the ruling, US District Judge Joseph H. Rodriguez stated Moyer’s “research and archeological documentation of his effort indicate a respect for the Andrea Doria as something more than just a commercial salvage project.”

Photographs of some of the Andrea Doria survivors are featured in the exhibition, including Simpson, who, at nine years old, was immigrating to the United States with her grandparents, Pietro and Domenica Burzio, to start a new life with her mother Vivian, who had moved to Detroit eight years earlier to pursue the American Dream.

Simpson wrote and produced the 2016 documentary Andrea Doria: Are the Passengers Saved?, directed by Luca Guardabascio of Rome. To mark the 66^th

Arc of Twenty Years
Arc of Twenty Years

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 13, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Arc of Twenty Years, an exhibition independently curated by photographer Michael McWeeney and painter Sarah Yuster featuring art created in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks.

The exhibition will be on view from August 12 to October 3, 2021 in the museum’s library. There will be an opening reception on Wednesday, August 11 from 6 to 8 PM.

Arc of Twenty Years will feature the work of Ghanim Khalil, Scott LoBaido, Diane Matyas, Ann Marie McDonnell, Michael McWeeney, Kristi Pfister, Marguerite Maria Rivas, and Sarah Yuster, all Staten Island artists. It is a multimedia exhibition about the emotional impact and socio-political changes on Staten Island after the attacks.

A lithograph featuring the World Trade Center by John A. Noble (1913-1983), the museum’s namesake, will also be included in the exhibition.

Curator Sarah Yuster states, “In the twenty years since 9/11, much of our populace has notably changed. The way we see ourselves and each other as individuals, as Americans, took a marked trajectory spurred by one event. The exhibition catalogues and explores major aspects of these permutations through art, photography, written word and short films.”

Ms. Yuster continues, “Staten Island is, in many ways, a microcosm of the United States in terms of ethnicities, economics, and ideologies. An immediate and long-term aftermath of that day rippled through the nation. The initial agony of three thousand innocent lives lost at once, the ensuing spasms of fury and fear were felt most intensely here. Empathy, camaraderie, selflessness and unity soared for weeks, galvanizing New Yorkers, but quickly dissipated into dissenting factions. The art and response from all factions will be displayed.”

Curator Michael McWeeney added, “This is not just a memorial; it’s a look at how we as a society have grown over the past 20 years. The artists take you through their personal stories and contemplate how all of our lives have been altered by the 9/11 attacks.”

Sarah Yuster’s painting The Firefighter, on loan from the Staten Island Children’s Museum, as well as three paintings depicting the changing skyline in Lower Manhattan from 1985 to 2014, will be on display.

“Witness,” a poem by Staten Island’s first Poet Laureate Marguerite Maria Rivas, will be featured in the exhibition. Rivas first wrote the poem as an email to a friend in Colorado immediately after the attacks, and it is now part of the National September 11th Museum’s online collection.

Ann Marie McDonnell contributed two bronze sculptures, The Missing and The Faithful, which honor the lives of those lost and the loved ones who mourn them.

Diane Matyas contributed a multimedia work incorporating a painting with an apron and napkin, which she made to honor the lives of the Windows on the World restaurant employees.

Scott LoBaido will exhibit a reproduction of an oil painting that he completed in the immediate aftermath of the attacks; it originally hung in Cargo Cafe in St. George, a local gathering place for the community at that time.

Kristi Pfister will display six paintings, five of which are on ceramic tiles, and one drawing completed in the aftermath of 9/11 depicting people in various states of digging and waiting, searching for answers.

Michael McWeeney will display a photograph of the Tribute in Light taken in March 2002, the first time those lights were lit, as well as a series of portraits with accompanying audio in the subjects’ own words about the Muslim experience after 9/11, as conceived by scholar Ghanim Khalil.

The John A. Noble lithograph Ghost of a Bygone Ferry will be on display from the museum’s collection. This print is his reaction to the passage of time and the decline of numerous ferry routes in New York Harbor by the 1970s; the Twin Towers, under construction, figure prominently in the background of the composition.

The drama and sculptural quality of architecture today offers, for her, a drama that represents her own psychic space.

Starts: 12:00 am

Ends: October 14, 2023 - 11:59 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Alice Austen House and the Noble Maritime Collection present a collection of never-before-seen nautical photographs of one of America’s earliest and most prolific female photographers. Living and working on Staten Island during the Gilded Age, Alice Austen (1866–1952) was one of the first women photographers to work outside the confines of a studio, employing a visionary documentary style that was ahead of its time. Picturing the Water explores Austen’s deep connection to both local and international waterways and the vessels that traverse them. The newly printed photographs, reproduced from Austen’s glass plate and film negatives, will be framed in John Noble’s signature handmade frames, reflecting on parallels between the artists’ visions.

This exhibition was guest-curated by Alice Austen House Executive Director Victoria Munro with collections assistance by Kristine Allegretti.

Description:

I’m pleased to share that I have received a DCA Art Fund Staten Island Arts 2023 grant. I will be presenting a Mexican Heritage's solo photography exhibit featuring a combination of thirty black-and-white and color photographs of the local Mexican immigrant community, a selection from my ongoing photo documentary series, Simple Moments of an Emerging Presence.

The Mexican community in Staten Island, New York, is a vibrant and integral part of the diverse tapestry of the borough. After several decades of immigration, this community has enriched the local culture with its traditions, and lively celebrations. From the traditional Staten Island Día Muertos, Our Lady of Guadalupe festivals, private celebrations, to authentic Mexican cuisine from local restaurants and food trucks, their influence is palpable. Despite facing challenges such as language barriers and immigration uncertainties, the Mexican community has shown remarkable resilience, creating support networks and cultural spaces that empower its members. Aspirations for a brighter future and a commitment to preserve their heritage while embracing their new home characterize the spirit of the Mexican community on Staten Island.

Staten Island Urban …
Staten Island Urban Center presents We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential - Multimedia Art Exhibition at Governors Island

Starts: 11:00 am

Ends: October 14, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Governor's Island - Nolan Park - Building 5 @ Governor's Island, New York, New York, 11231, United States

Description:

Opening May 5, 2023, through October 31, 2023, Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) debuts “We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential,” a public multimedia art exhibition that foundationally centers on Staten Island’s north shore waterfront as a place in pursuit of social change and environmental justice. The exhibit is located at Governors Island’s Nolan Park House 5B. Doors open at noon May 5. Subsequently, presenting Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibit offers art, music, and opportunities for visitors to examine the struggle, potential, creativity and beauty of waterfront neighborhoods when community voices are at the center and fighting for environmental and social justice.

“We know that our city includes some of the most incredible public waterfronts in the world, but we also know that the benefits of incredible waterfront design have not been, equitably, equally, or even fairly realized, so we need to change that.” said Kelly Vilar, curator of “We Are a Waterfront” and CEO of the Staten Island Urban Center. “Our hope is that this exhibit challenges this view and helps to activate the average New Yorker into being a voice for change.”

At our opening on May 5, 2023, we will host “Music on the Porch,” a listening and dancing- freedom mixed set with hours of tracks that highlight activism in environmental and social justice movements. Guest DJs to be announced.

“We Are A Waterfront” installations presented by Staten Island Urban Center and other activists speak to a myriad of social issues such including,

• Video excerpts from “Our Urban Town: Reimagining Staten Island Waterfront Communities”--a short documentary about community-driven ideas for waterfront development in Staten Island’s North Shore community.

• A multimedia installation called “Landfill Fashionistas: Image, Culture and Environment through the Lens of Young Girls of Color from Staten Island.” (Produced by young people of the Staten Island Urban Center.)

• Collected and borrowed works from Sarah Yuster’s “Vulnerable Landscapes;” Sculpture by Olga Ayala; and north shore waterfront landscape photographs by John Kilcullen.

“We Are A Waterfront” highlights the need for positive, inclusive social change through participatory art to engage visitors of all ages. The exhibit will not only share beautiful works of art and imagination, but expresses hope to spur environmental activism– whether it be in the form of a reformed litterbug, a newborn environmental justice advocate, or further the hopes of a seasoned agent of social change. Some of the hands-on activations in the exhibit include:

• Highlighting the work of city and statewide coalitions such as the Racial Impact Study Coalition, NY Renews and the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance.

• Access to digital petitions for various environmental and social causes to affect laws, policies and funding.

• Free distribution of clothing to highlight the ideals of recycling, upcycling and reuse in the fight against fast fashion and pollution.

Staten Island Urban Center is an Organization In Residence at Governors Island exhibiting May 5, 2023, through Oct 31, 2023, showing 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. “We Are a Waterfront” is made possible through the Trust For Governors Island, NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, NY Renews-Tides Advocacy, Creatives Rebuild New York with Lost Horizon Films, The Staten Island Foundation, The Pinkerton Foundation and private donors. Loaned works are provided by artists and collectors Deborah Quinones, Soraya Candelario, Sarah Yuster, Rachel Sanchez, Caryn Davis, Olga Ayala, Virginia Allen, John Kilcullen, Everet Curry, Angelo Roman, and others.

Staten Island Urban Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. The mission of the Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) is to strengthen neighborhoods by way of community development through community involvement. We lift the voice of our borough’s most marginalized and disenfranchised people through collective solution building in pursuit of cultural equity, thrivability, self-determination, and independence. We organize with youth and grassroots community leaders and utilize community-produced art and media to uplift social justice issues.

Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 14, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea, an exhibition about the 1956 sinking of the SS Andrea Doria and the rescue of her passengers.

The exhibition will be on view from June 16, 2022 through June 2023. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, June 16 from 6 to 8 PM.

The SS Andrea Doria was the pride of postwar Italy. A glamorous transatlantic ocean liner, she was a “floating art gallery” and a marvel of midcentury modern design. She carried celebrities as well as Italian immigrants to new opportunities in America.

On July 25, 1956, the Swedish liner MS Stockholm collided with the Andrea Doria, which was en route to New York. The subsequent rescue was one of the most dramatic and well-documented in sea history.

The Andrea Doria foundered 11 hours after the collision, and now lays on her starboard side 250 feet below the surface, about 50 miles from Nantucket.

The exhibition will feature objects and artifacts from the extensive collection of diver and researcher John Moyer, Salvor in Possession of the Andrea Doria.

In addition to numerous rare photographs and artwork, on display will be a lifering from the Andrea Doria, as well as china from all passenger classes, pottery, glassware, silverware, and the ship’s brass bell, recovered by Moyer and a team of divers.

The exhibition was developed with the guidance of survivor, educator, author, and filmmaker Pierette Domenica Simpson, who is the gatekeeper of Andrea Doria survivor stories. She is the author of the books Alive on the Andrea Doria!: The Greatest Sea Rescue in History and I Was Shipwrecked on the Andrea Doria! The Titanic of the 1950s

Archival newsreel footage of the Andrea Doria’s maiden voyage, the collision, and the rescue of her passengers—all provided by the Sherman Grinberg Library—will be shown in the exhibition on a converted Firestone television from 1956, the year of the sinking.

The exhibition also includes underwater footage shot by Bill Campbell and Billy Deans of John Moyer and a team diving to the wreck and recovering two 1,000-pound ceramic mural panels by Italian artist Guido Gambone (1909-1969).

In 1993, Moyer was awarded an Admiralty Arrest in US Federal Court and named Salvor in Possession of the wreck. In the ruling, US District Judge Joseph H. Rodriguez stated Moyer’s “research and archeological documentation of his effort indicate a respect for the Andrea Doria as something more than just a commercial salvage project.”

Photographs of some of the Andrea Doria survivors are featured in the exhibition, including Simpson, who, at nine years old, was immigrating to the United States with her grandparents, Pietro and Domenica Burzio, to start a new life with her mother Vivian, who had moved to Detroit eight years earlier to pursue the American Dream.

Simpson wrote and produced the 2016 documentary Andrea Doria: Are the Passengers Saved?, directed by Luca Guardabascio of Rome. To mark the 66^th

Arc of Twenty Years will feature the work of Ghanim Khalil, Scott LoBaido, Diane Matyas, Ann Marie McDonnell, Michael McWeeney, Kristi Pfister, Marguerite Maria Rivas, and Sarah Yuster, all Staten Island artists. It is a multimedia exhibition about the emotional impact and socio-political changes on Staten Island after the attacks.

A lithograph featuring the World Trade Center by John A. Noble (1913-1983), the museum’s namesake, will also be included in the exhibition.

Curator Sarah Yuster states, “In the twenty years since 9/11, much of our populace has notably changed. The way we see ourselves and each other as individuals, as Americans, took a marked trajectory spurred by one event. The exhibition catalogues and explores major aspects of these permutations through art, photography, written word and short films.”

Ms. Yuster continues, “Staten Island is, in many ways, a microcosm of the United States in terms of ethnicities, economics, and ideologies. An immediate and long-term aftermath of that day rippled through the nation. The initial agony of three thousand innocent lives lost at once, the ensuing spasms of fury and fear were felt most intensely here. Empathy, camaraderie, selflessness and unity soared for weeks, galvanizing New Yorkers, but quickly dissipated into dissenting factions. The art and response from all factions will be displayed.”

Curator Michael McWeeney added, “This is not just a memorial; it’s a look at how we as a society have grown over the past 20 years. The artists take you through their personal stories and contemplate how all of our lives have been altered by the 9/11 attacks.”

Sarah Yuster’s painting The Firefighter, on loan from the Staten Island Children’s Museum, as well as three paintings depicting the changing skyline in Lower Manhattan from 1985 to 2014, will be on display.

“Witness,” a poem by Staten Island’s first Poet Laureate Marguerite Maria Rivas, will be featured in the exhibition. Rivas first wrote the poem as an email to a friend in Colorado immediately after the attacks, and it is now part of the National September 11th Museum’s online collection.

Ann Marie McDonnell contributed two bronze sculptures, The Missing and The Faithful, which honor the lives of those lost and the loved ones who mourn them.

Diane Matyas contributed a multimedia work incorporating a painting with an apron and napkin, which she made to honor the lives of the Windows on the World restaurant employees.

Scott LoBaido will exhibit a reproduction of an oil painting that he completed in the immediate aftermath of the attacks; it originally hung in Cargo Cafe in St. George, a local gathering place for the community at that time.

Kristi Pfister will display six paintings, five of which are on ceramic tiles, and one drawing completed in the aftermath of 9/11 depicting people in various states of digging and waiting, searching for answers.

Michael McWeeney will display a photograph of the Tribute in Light taken in March 2002, the first time those lights were lit, as well as a series of portraits with accompanying audio in the subjects’ own words about the Muslim experience after 9/11, as conceived by scholar Ghanim Khalil.

The John A. Noble lithograph Ghost of a Bygone Ferry will be on display from the museum’s collection. This print is his reaction to the passage of time and the decline of numerous ferry routes in New York Harbor by the 1970s; the Twin Towers, under construction, figure prominently in the background of the composition.

Helen's paintings are a love affair between the dynamics of pictorial space and contemporary architecture. She aims to capture the sense of movement and energy of both interior and exterior spaces suggested by structures of these architects: Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry, Steven Holl, and Antoine Predock. The drama and sculptural quality of architecture today offers, for her, a drama that represents her own psychic space.

Starts: 12:00 am

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Alice Austen House and the Noble Maritime Collection present a collection of never-before-seen nautical photographs of one of America’s earliest and most prolific female photographers. Living and working on Staten Island during the Gilded Age, Alice Austen (1866–1952) was one of the first women photographers to work outside the confines of a studio, employing a visionary documentary style that was ahead of its time. Picturing the Water explores Austen’s deep connection to both local and international waterways and the vessels that traverse them. The newly printed photographs, reproduced from Austen’s glass plate and film negatives, will be framed in John Noble’s signature handmade frames, reflecting on parallels between the artists’ visions.

This exhibition was guest-curated by Alice Austen House Executive Director Victoria Munro with collections assistance by Kristine Allegretti.

Description:

I’m pleased to share that I have received a DCA Art Fund Staten Island Arts 2023 grant. I will be presenting a Mexican Heritage's solo photography exhibit featuring a combination of thirty black-and-white and color photographs of the local Mexican immigrant community, a selection from my ongoing photo documentary series, Simple Moments of an Emerging Presence.

The Mexican community in Staten Island, New York, is a vibrant and integral part of the diverse tapestry of the borough. After several decades of immigration, this community has enriched the local culture with its traditions, and lively celebrations. From the traditional Staten Island Día Muertos, Our Lady of Guadalupe festivals, private celebrations, to authentic Mexican cuisine from local restaurants and food trucks, their influence is palpable. Despite facing challenges such as language barriers and immigration uncertainties, the Mexican community has shown remarkable resilience, creating support networks and cultural spaces that empower its members. Aspirations for a brighter future and a commitment to preserve their heritage while embracing their new home characterize the spirit of the Mexican community on Staten Island.

Staten Island Urban …
Staten Island Urban Center presents We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential - Multimedia Art Exhibition at Governors Island

Starts: 11:00 am

Ends: October 15, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Governor's Island - Nolan Park - Building 5 @ Governor's Island, New York, New York, 11231, United States

Description:

Opening May 5, 2023, through October 31, 2023, Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) debuts “We Are A Waterfront: Access, Divide & Potential,” a public multimedia art exhibition that foundationally centers on Staten Island’s north shore waterfront as a place in pursuit of social change and environmental justice. The exhibit is located at Governors Island’s Nolan Park House 5B. Doors open at noon May 5. Subsequently, presenting Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibit offers art, music, and opportunities for visitors to examine the struggle, potential, creativity and beauty of waterfront neighborhoods when community voices are at the center and fighting for environmental and social justice.

“We know that our city includes some of the most incredible public waterfronts in the world, but we also know that the benefits of incredible waterfront design have not been, equitably, equally, or even fairly realized, so we need to change that.” said Kelly Vilar, curator of “We Are a Waterfront” and CEO of the Staten Island Urban Center. “Our hope is that this exhibit challenges this view and helps to activate the average New Yorker into being a voice for change.”

At our opening on May 5, 2023, we will host “Music on the Porch,” a listening and dancing- freedom mixed set with hours of tracks that highlight activism in environmental and social justice movements. Guest DJs to be announced.

“We Are A Waterfront” installations presented by Staten Island Urban Center and other activists speak to a myriad of social issues such including,

• Video excerpts from “Our Urban Town: Reimagining Staten Island Waterfront Communities”--a short documentary about community-driven ideas for waterfront development in Staten Island’s North Shore community.

• A multimedia installation called “Landfill Fashionistas: Image, Culture and Environment through the Lens of Young Girls of Color from Staten Island.” (Produced by young people of the Staten Island Urban Center.)

• Collected and borrowed works from Sarah Yuster’s “Vulnerable Landscapes;” Sculpture by Olga Ayala; and north shore waterfront landscape photographs by John Kilcullen.

“We Are A Waterfront” highlights the need for positive, inclusive social change through participatory art to engage visitors of all ages. The exhibit will not only share beautiful works of art and imagination, but expresses hope to spur environmental activism– whether it be in the form of a reformed litterbug, a newborn environmental justice advocate, or further the hopes of a seasoned agent of social change. Some of the hands-on activations in the exhibit include:

• Highlighting the work of city and statewide coalitions such as the Racial Impact Study Coalition, NY Renews and the NYC Environmental Justice Alliance.

• Access to digital petitions for various environmental and social causes to affect laws, policies and funding.

• Free distribution of clothing to highlight the ideals of recycling, upcycling and reuse in the fight against fast fashion and pollution.

Staten Island Urban Center is an Organization In Residence at Governors Island exhibiting May 5, 2023, through Oct 31, 2023, showing 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. “We Are a Waterfront” is made possible through the Trust For Governors Island, NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, NY Renews-Tides Advocacy, Creatives Rebuild New York with Lost Horizon Films, The Staten Island Foundation, The Pinkerton Foundation and private donors. Loaned works are provided by artists and collectors Deborah Quinones, Soraya Candelario, Sarah Yuster, Rachel Sanchez, Caryn Davis, Olga Ayala, Virginia Allen, John Kilcullen, Everet Curry, Angelo Roman, and others.

Staten Island Urban Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. The mission of the Staten Island Urban Center (SIUC) is to strengthen neighborhoods by way of community development through community involvement. We lift the voice of our borough’s most marginalized and disenfranchised people through collective solution building in pursuit of cultural equity, thrivability, self-determination, and independence.

Andrea Doria: Rescue…
Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea

Starts: 12:00 pm

Ends: October 15, 2023 - 5:00 pm

Location: Noble Maritime Collection @ 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, NY, 10301

Description:

The Noble Maritime Collection presents Andrea Doria: Rescue at Sea, an exhibition about the 1956 sinking of the SS Andrea Doria and the rescue of her passengers.

The exhibition will be on view from June 16, 2022 through June 2023. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, June 16 from 6 to 8 PM.

The SS Andrea Doria was the pride of postwar Italy. A glamorous transatlantic ocean liner, she was a “floating art gallery” and a marvel of midcentury modern design. She carried celebrities as well as Italian immigrants to new opportunities in America.

On July 25, 1956, the Swedish liner MS Stockholm collided with the Andrea Doria, which was en route to New York. The subsequent rescue was one of the most dramatic and well-documented in sea history.

The Andrea Doria foundered 11 hours after the collision, and now lays on her starboard side 250 feet below the surface, about 50 miles from Nantucket.

The exhibition will feature objects and artifacts from the extensive collection of diver and researcher John Moyer, Salvor in Possession of the Andrea Doria.

In addition to numerous rare photographs and artwork, on display will be a lifering from the Andrea Doria, as well as china from all passenger classes, pottery, glassware, silverware, and the ship’s brass bell, recovered by Moyer and a team of divers.

The exhibition was developed with the guidance of survivor, educator, author, and filmmaker Pierette Domenica Simpson, who is the gatekeeper of Andrea Doria survivor stories. She is the author of the books Alive on the Andrea Doria!: The Greatest Sea Rescue in History and I Was Shipwrecked on the Andrea Doria! The Titanic of the 1950s

Archival newsreel footage of the Andrea Doria’s maiden voyage, the collision, and the rescue of her passengers—all provided by the Sherman Grinberg Library—will be shown in the exhibition on a converted Firestone television from 1956, the year of the sinking.

The exhibition also includes underwater footage shot by Bill Campbell and Billy Deans of John Moyer and a team diving to the wreck and recovering two 1,000-pound ceramic mural panels by Italian artist Guido Gambone (1909-1969).

In 1993, Moyer was awarded an Admiralty Arrest in US Federal Court and named Salvor in Possession of the wreck. In the ruling, US District Judge Joseph H. Rodriguez stated Moyer’s “research and archeological documentation of his effort indicate a respect for the Andrea Doria as something more than just a commercial salvage project.”

Photographs of some of the Andrea Doria survivors are featured in the exhibition, including Simpson, who, at nine years old, was immigrating to the United States with her grandparents, Pietro and Domenica Burzio, to start a new life with her mother Vivian, who had moved to Detroit eight years earlier to pursue the American Dream.

Simpson wrote and produced the 2016 documentary Andrea Doria: Are the Passengers Saved?, directed by Luca Guardabascio of Rome. To mark the 66^th

The exhibition will be on view from August 12 to October 3, 2021 in the museum’s library. There will be an opening reception on Wednesday, August 11 from 6 to 8 PM.

It is a multimedia exhibition about the emotional impact and socio-political changes on Staten Island after the attacks.

A lithograph featuring the World Trade Center by John A. Noble (1913-1983), the museum’s namesake, will also be included in the exhibition.

The way we see ourselves and each other as individuals, as Americans, took a marked trajectory spurred by one event. The exhibition catalogues and explores major aspects of these permutations through art, photography, written word and short films.”

Sarah Yuster’s painting The Firefighter, on loan from the Staten Island Children’s Museum, as well as three paintings depicting the changing skyline in Lower Manhattan from 1985 to 2014, will be on display.

“Witness,” a poem by Staten Island’s first Poet Laureate Marguerite Maria Rivas, will be featured in the exhibition. Rivas first wrote the poem as an email to a friend in Colorado immediately after the attacks, and it is now part of the National September 11th Museum’s online collection.

Ann Marie McDonnell contributed two bronze sculptures, The Missing and The Faithful, which honor the lives of those lost and the loved ones who mourn them.

Diane Matyas contributed a multimedia work incorporating a painting with an apron and napkin, which she made to honor the lives of the Windows on the World restaurant employees.

Scott LoBaido will exhibit a reproduction of an oil painting that he completed in the immediate aftermath of the attacks; it originally hung in Cargo Cafe in St. George, a local gathering place for the community at that time.

Kristi Pfister will display six paintings, five of which are on ceramic tiles, and one drawing completed in the aftermath of 9/11 depicting people in various states of digging and waiting, searching for answers.

Michael McWeeney will display a photograph of the Tribute in Light taken in March 2002, the first time those lights were lit, as well as a series of portraits with accompanying audio in the subjects’ own words about the Muslim experience after 9/11, as conceived by scholar Ghanim Khalil.

The John A. Noble lithograph Ghost of a Bygone Ferry will be on display from the museum’s collection. This print is his reaction to the passage of time and the decline of numerous ferry routes in New York Harbor by the 1970s; the Twin Towers, under construction, figure prominently in the background of the composition.

For more information about the exhibition, visit noblemaritime.org/arc-of-twenty-years.

This exhibition is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature; and by a grant from the Lily Auchincloss Foundation.

The Noble Maritime Collection, located in a former mariners’ dormitory at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, 1000 Richmond Terrace, Building D, Staten Island, New York, is open from 12 until 5 PM, Thursdays through Sundays. Admission is by donation.

Pippin is the story of a young prince, heir to the throne, who is searching for his own “corner of the sky.” Pippin returns from university certain that he will find a fulfilling purpose in life. The Leading Player encourages Pippin to dabble in bloody battle, in lusty sexual entanglements and in savvy political maneuvers. Pippin discovers that true happiness is more complicated than he thought. With infectious tunes by Stephen Schwartz, Pippin is both a humorous allegory about growing up and a dark tale of the danger of false appearances and empty promises. Learn more at wagner.edu/theatre

Come view a collection of paintings and published texts by artist, Helen Levin.

Helen's paintings are a love affair between the dynamics of pictorial space and contemporary architecture. She aims to capture the sense of movement and energy of both interior and exterior spaces suggested by structures of these architects: Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry, Steven Holl, and Antoine Predock. The drama and sculptural quality of architecture today offers, for her, a drama that represents her own psychic space.

Location: Bernikow JCC @ 1466 Manor Road, Staten Island, New York, 10314

Description:

I’m pleased to share that I have received a DCA Art Fund Staten Island Arts 2023 grant. I will be presenting a Mexican Heritage's solo photography exhibit featuring a combination of thirty black-and-white and color photographs of the local Mexican immigrant community, a selection from my ongoing photo documentary series, Simple Moments of an Emerging Presence.

The Mexican community in Staten Island, New York, is a vibrant and integral part of the diverse tapestry of the borough. After several decades of immigration, this community has enriched the local culture with its traditions, and lively celebrations. From the traditional Staten Island Día Muertos, Our Lady of Guadalupe festivals, private celebrations, to authentic Mexican cuisine from local restaurants and food trucks, their influence is palpable. Despite facing challenges such as language barriers and immigration uncertainties, the Mexican community has shown remarkable resilience, creating support networks and cultural spaces that empower its members. Aspirations for a brighter future and a commitment to preserve their heritage while embracing their new home characterize the spirit of the Mexican community on Staten Island.
