SUMMARY:First Friday: Dr. Strangelove Movie Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join Poster House for a special screening of Stanley Kubrick’s darkly satirical masterpiece Dr. Strangelove (1964)\, presented in conjunction with the exhibition Fallout: Atoms for War & Peace. This razor-sharp Cold War comedy follows the surreal unraveling of nuclear diplomacy as a U.S. Air Force general sets off an unthinkable chain of events. \nWith a classic performance from Peter Sellers and biting political commentary\, Dr. Strangelove captures the absurdity and anxiety of the Atomic Age—echoing some of the themes explored in Fallout.  \nSeating is first come\, first served. \nPlease note: This film is rated PG and is recommended for ages 13 and up. \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. Please contact access@posterhouse.org or (914) 295-2387 to request interpretation services and to address any other accessibility needs.

SUMMARY:First Friday: Ink the News\, Subway-Inspired Printmaking
DESCRIPTION:Pronto-plate printing is an accessible\, user-friendly introduction to lithography.

In this drop-in workshop inspired by posters in From the Bronx to the Battery: The Subway Sun\, participants will make their own unique newspaper prints! \nThe Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop (RBPMW) is a dynamic community print studio that honors the legacy of pioneering artist and master printmaker Robert Blackburn (1920–2003). Founded in a spirit of inclusivity and artistic excellence\, RBPMW provides a supportive\, collaborative space for artists of all backgrounds to explore and expand their printmaking practice. \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:Japanese Woodblock Printing Demo: The Great Wave
DESCRIPTION:Japan is home to one of the most dynamic and revered print cultures in the world. Poster House is thrilled to partner with New York’s Ronin Gallery and Globus Washitsu to host woodblock printer Hironobu Numabe of Numabe Mokuhan print workshop in Tokyo for a demonstration showcasing the incredible craftsmanship of traditional Japanese printing. Numabe will discuss the technique\, history\, and joy of their art as well as presenting the related tools\, pigments\, and original woodblocks.  \nWhile some guests may have the opportunity to try their hand at this historic printing process\, the true highlight will be Numabe incredible reprinting of Hokusai’s Great Wave\, probably the most famous Japanese woodblock print of all time. In honor of Ronin Gallery’s 50th anniversary\, the team has remastered this iconic image for a contemporary audience. A few of these extremely high-quality\, limited-edition reprints will be available for purchase.  \nFounded in 1995 by Shinkichi Numabe\, Numabe Mokuhan printers do not merely reproduce famous Japanese prints but “remaster” them. Formerly the principal printer for Toshi Yoshida\, Shinkichi Numabe brings decades of expertise to Numabe Mokuhan. Whether printing from original woodblocks or creating new ones\, Shinkichi and Hironobu Numabe breathe new life into familiar designs\, printing them to the highest standard. Championing the craftsmen\, tools\, and materials that combine to create each print\, Numabe Mokuhan shares the spirit of traditional woodblock printmaking with a new generation. \nThis talk and demonstration is a drop-in program suitable for all ages. Questions are encouraged!

SUMMARY:Members-Only Tour: Institute for Studies on Latin American Art
DESCRIPTION:In honor of our exhibition Puerto Rico in Print: The Posters of Lorenzo Homar\, Poster House has teamed up with the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA) to offer our members a private tour of their latest two exhibitions\, Magali Lara: Stitched to the Body and Diana Dowek: Uprising in the Mirror.  \nTracing nearly two decades of work by pioneering Mexican artist\, Magali Lara: Stitched to the Body brings together over fifty works from 1977 to 1995\, highlighting the artist’s feminist and interdisciplinary approach across drawing\, collage\, painting\, and artist books. Engaging themes of identity\, memory\, and the body. Lara’s introspective yet socially resonant works explore the intersections of intimacy and resistance\, domesticity and desire. This first solo presentation of her work at ISLAA reaffirms Lara’s pivotal role in shaping feminist expression with Latin American contemporary art.  \nOn view at the same time\, Diana Dowek: Uprising in the Mirror features over twenty works by the artist\, including paintings and sculpture alongside archival ephemera from the Diana Dowek archival collection\, tracing a key period in the Argentine artist’s practice from 1967 to 1982. The works reflect Dowek’s powerful response to state-sanctioned violence during Argentina’s military dictatorship. A lifelong activist and unwavering ally to global human rights movements\, Dowek painted stirring scenes of repression and resistance with cinematic precision. Her early works presented alongside letters and photographs underscore her role in a transnational network of politically engaged women artists. In the first solo presentation of her work in New York City\, Dowek offers a timely reminder of how the past continues to haunt the political present.  \nImage: Image 1: Magali Lara\, De lo amoroso\, personal\, confidencial\, etcétera\, 1982. Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA) \nThis tour will take place at the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art\, located at 142 Franklin St\, New York\, NY 10013. Space is limited! \nAccessibility Note: As this event will be taking place off site\, please let Poster House know in advance if you have any accessibility needs.

SUMMARY:Members-Only Tour: Ben Shahn at the Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Lorenzo Homar’s personal and professional connection with the artist Ben Shahn\, Poster House members are invited to a special curatorial tour of Ben Shahn: On Nonconformity at the Jewish Museum.  \nIn this tour\, guest curator Dr. Laura Katzman will discuss the social-justice work of Ben Shahn\, among the most socially and politically engaged artists working in the United States from the Great Depression to the height of the Vietnam War. Dr. Katzman will lead Poster House members through this thematic exhibition featuring Shahn’s art across media\, focusing on his denouncement of authoritarianism and commitment to labor\, civil\, and human rights. As she highlights Shahn’s graphic work in printmaking\, posters\, lettering/calligraphy\, and commercial designs\, she will make connections between Shahn’s vision and that of Lorenzo Homar\, who believed that Shahn “revolutionized the graphic arts” and was one of the greatest influences on his work. Shahn\, in turn\, recognized that Homar and his pioneering workshop in Puerto Rico were instrumental in the refinement of silkscreen as an art form during the second half of the twentieth century. \nThis tour will take place at the Jewish Museum\, located at 1109 5th Ave &\, E 92nd St\, New York\, 10128. Space is limited!

SUMMARY:Latin American Design: A Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:In connection with Puerto Rico in Print: The Posters of Lorenzo Homar\, Poster House presents an intimate dialogue exploring the rich legacy of Latin American design. This program brings together experts Ramdwin González-Otero and Dr. Agustín Díez Fischer to discuss the intersection of art\, politics\, and cultural identity across the region. \nThe conversation will consider Lorenzo Homar’s practice through comparative perspectives and transnational frameworks. The speakers will reflect on how local histories\, from contemporary experiences in the Southern Cone to Puerto Rico’s lettering-driven poster tradition\, connect to contemporary forms of visual protest and institutional design while situating Homar’s work within broader movements in design\, film\, and the graphic arts. \nThis conversational format offers both scholarly insight and space for audience engagement. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn more about the dynamic and evolving history of Latin American design! \nRamdwin González-Otero is a designer\, educator\, and entrepreneur from the Caguas Valley in Puerto Rico whose practice spans brand strategy\, science communication\, and creative direction. He is a partner at the design studio Tembol and cofounder of the community‑minded venture 404 Coffee & Beers. He is also an Aspen Ideas Fellow. González-Otero’s interests and research engage cultural studies and national identity in Puerto Rico and the broader Caribbean\, analyzing how visual culture shapes collective memory and civic discourse. Coming from a graffiti background\, he focuses on lettering as both a political and aesthetic medium\, tracing its role from the lettering‑driven posters of the “Generación del 50” to contemporary forms of graphic protest. He has served as an adjunct instructor at the School of Design and Architecture in Puerto Rico\, exploring with his students the colonial paradigms embedded in the discipline. His collaborative work with cultural\, private\, and nonprofit organizations has earned him recognition from the Latin American Design Awards\, the Ibero‑American Design Biennial\, and the Falling Walls Science Summit. \nDr. Agustín Díez Fischer has a Ph.D. in Art History and Theory from the University of Buenos Aires. From 2017 to 2023\, he served as Director of the Centro de Estudios Espigas in Buenos Aires\, a research center and archive focused on Latin American art. Díez Fischer has received numerous grants and fellowships\, including the Terra Foundation Travel Grant\, and held positions as a Visiting Research Scholar and Visiting Assistant Professor in the program in Latin American Studies at Princeton University. From 2023 to 2024\, he was the Craig M. Cogut Visiting Professor at the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Brown University. He is currently the Senior Manager of Research and Archives at the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA) in New York. \nAccessibility Note: Masks and clear masks are available free of charge at the museum.

SUMMARY:Sing for Science: Laurie Anderson & Dr. Zia Mian on the Science of Disarmament
DESCRIPTION:As the final event held in conjunction with the exhibition Fallout: Atoms for War & Peace\, Poster House is thrilled to partner with Sing for Science to host the groundbreaking artist and activist Laurie Anderson in conversation with nuclear weapons and policy expert Dr. Zia Mian. Together\, they’ll explore how scientists and advocates work to prevent the spread and use of nuclear weapons—and how artistic voices like Anderson’s have shaped the cultural imagination around disarmament.  \nDrawing from Anderson’s seminal 1982 album Big Science\, the conversation will explore how that work anticipated many of the tensions of the nuclear age and continues to resonate in today’s disarmament discourse. Moderated by Sing For Science host Matt Whyte\, this intimate conversation invites guests to consider how creative and scientific communities can work together in pursuit of peace. \nDoors open at 6:30pm. There is no reserved seating.
