SUMMARY:Coffee with a Curator: Silent in Jacksonville
DESCRIPTION:Join Es-pranza Humphrey\, curator of Act Black: Posters from Black American Stage & Screen\, for a discussion over coffee about her research trip to Jacksonville\, Florida\, and Norman Studios. Es-pranza will discuss the impact this unlikely location had on the history of films with all-Black casts and why studio head Richard Norman was at the vanguard of the “race films” that were important to her research for the exhibition. \nIn the 1910s\, Jacksonville was home to more than 30 silent film studios specializing in a variety of genres for Black and white cinemagoers. Today\, Norman Film Studios is the only remaining structure of its kind from this era. It was one of the first studios in the United States to make such race films\, providing unique opportunities for Black actors and Black audiences. \nAfter showing you a clip from The Flying Ace (1926)\, the only Norman Studios film to survive in its entirety\, Es-pranza will guide you through the exhibition\, focusing on the posters promoting films produced by Richard Norman. \nAccessibility Note: Masks and clear masks are available free of charge at the museum. Assistive listening devices and stools are available. ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation or a CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) is also available upon request.

SUMMARY:Members-Only Tour: Seneca Village
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Poster House’s exhibition Act Black: Posters from Black American Stage & Screen\, members are invited to a guided tour of Central Park’s Seneca Village. \nBefore Central Park was built\, the area along its perimeter from West 82nd to West 89th Streets was home to Seneca Village\, the largest community of African American property owners in New York. Founded in 1825\, it was relatively prosperous\, with churches\, a school\, and high rates of property ownership\, which\, in some cases\, made male landowners eligible to vote. The city acquired the land for Central Park in 1853 and its residents were required to leave by the end of 1857. Scholars and archaeologists began to investigate the site more systematically and raise public awareness of it during the 1990s. \nMembers will meet at the Mariner’s Gate entrance to Central Park on West 85th Street and Central Park West at 11:45am and walk over to Seneca Village for the tour\, led by a Central Park Conservancy guide. \nAccessibility Note: As this is an off-site event\, masks and clear masks are available free of charge with prior notification.
