También hay disponibles audífonos auxiliares y taburetes. Previa solicitud\, ofrecemos interpretación en lengua de signos estadounidense (ASL) o traducción con subtitulado en tiempo real (CART).

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:Harlem Walking Tour with John T. Reddick
DESCRIPTION:In honor of the exhibition Act Black: Posters from Black American Stage & Screen\, join Poster House for a walking tour in Harlem with historian and architectural preservationist John T. Reddick. Explore the historic institutions\, cultural landmarks\, and architectural icons that shaped Black performance and public life in the neighborhood under the guidance of a true expert! \nParticipants will stop at key sites like Strivers’ Row\, the Schomburg Center\, and Harlem Hospital’s WPA murals\, investigating the ways in which Harlem’s built environment served as both backdrop and catalyst for the Harlem Renaissance and the cultural flourishing of the area. Along the way\, Reddick will connect the imagery in Act Black to the streets where Black actors\, musicians\, and cultural leaders transformed American stage and screen\, highlighting the powerful intersection of place\, performance\, and poster art.  \nJohn T. Reddick is an architectural preservationist\, historian\, and collector of Harlem- related documents and ephemera\, several pieces of which are on view in Act Black. He has contributed his knowledge of Harlem’s culture and architecture to a number of public art and open space projects in that community\, among them the Ralph Ellison Memorial\, Harriet Tubman Square\, and the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Circle. Supported by a grant from the Mellon Foundation\, Reddick is currently working with the Central Park Conservancy to encourage public discussion around the history of Seneca Village as the basis for a formal commemoration of that predominantly African American community\, established before the founding of Central Park itself.  \nReddick received his BS in Architecture from Ohio State University and his MA in Architecture from Yale University. \nAccessibility Note: Assistive listening devices will be used on this tour. ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation or a CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) is also available upon request.

SUMMARY:Members-Only Last Look: Act Black
DESCRIPTION:Poster House members are invited to a private “Last Look” tour of the exhibition Act Black: Posters from Black American Stage & Screen. \nStarting in the 1880s\, Black performers and those invested in telling stories centering Black people attempted to counter the dehumanizing and harmful stereotypes created by white people to portray Black characters. Since theatrical performances are rarely recorded and many of the movies that featured all-Black casts are now considered “lost films” (films where no copies are known to survive)\, advertising posters are sometimes the only remaining evidence of important productions made with Black talent between the 1870s and the 1940s. The posters in this exhibition provide a guide for viewers as they consider how Black storytelling was transformed in its transition from stage to screen. \nJoin curator Es-pranza Humphrey for this private\, members-only tour and learn more about the innovative efforts of Black writers\, directors\, and actors to represent Black life and experience for Black audiences. \nLight refreshments will be served. \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:Visita guiada en español: La negritud en el escenario
DESCRIPTION:Participe en una visita guiada en español con el equipo educativo de Poster House para nuestra exposición La negritud en el escenario: Carteles del teatro y del cine afroamericanos. \nLos carteles de esta exposición nos permiten reflexionar sobre cómo la narrativa afroamericana fue transmitida y transformada durante su transición del teatro a la pantalla grande. También documentan aspectos de las innovaciones históricas de dramaturgos\, compositores\, directores y productores para actrices y actores afroestadounidenses\, en su afán por representar la vida y las experiencias del público afrodescendiente a través de sus propias perspectivas creativas. \nNota sobre accesibilidad: En el museo tenemos disponibles mascarillas y mascarillas transparentes gratis. También hay disponibles audífonos auxiliares y taburetes. Previa solicitud\, ofrecemos interpretación en lengua de signos estadounidense (ASL) o traducción con subtitulado en tiempo real (CART). Ponerse en contacto con access@posterhouse.org o llame al (914) 295-2387 para solicitar servicios de interpretación y para cualquier otra necesidad de accesibilidad. Para otras preguntas relacionadas con el evento\, ponerse en contacto con info@posterhouse.org.
