Literature to Life Workshop: I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter
2022-05-07 13:00 - 14:30 (America/New_York) | Hudson River Museum, 511 Warburton Ave, Yonkers, NY, 10701
Literature to Life (LTL) is a performance-based literacy program that presents professionally staged verbatim adaptations of American literary classics. In this workshop, LTL explores aspects of Mexican culture and identity through the lens of the novel I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika Sanchez, while responding directly to the portrayal of young Mexican girls enacting traditional roles in the Diego Rivera painting La ofrenda, photographs of Frida Kahlo in Frida Kahlo in Context, and a selection of works included in The World of Frida.
The workshop, staged in the galleries, will use tableaux vivants, or living mural techniques, to activate works of art and scenes from the book, offering an opportunity to connect visual and literary art forms in a unique and interesting way.
The National Book Award finalist and New York Times Bestseller, I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter focuses on Julia, a teenager attempting to help put the pieces of her broken family back together after the tragic loss of her older sister, Olga. The story focuses on how Julia experiences loss and ultimately finds herself amid the pressures, expectations, and stereotypes of growing up in a Mexican-American home. Kahlo was no stranger to grief, having experienced multiple losses in her life from the time she was in a serious accident at the age of 18. She explored her grief through her art, much as we explore grief through the novel.
The workshop features simultaneous interpretation in Spanish and ASL. Recommended for ages 14+.

Join us on May 7th and 8th, 2022 from 10:00am – 5:00pm for: The American Kennel Club Scent Trials at the Museum!
After the tragic events of 9/11, there was a push in this country, due to the increased demand for detection and search and rescue dogs, to increase focus on scent training and breeding programs domestically. Scent work is a sport that helps nurture and develop scent skills in dogs. Breeders can ‘prove’ their line’s ability to do scent work by earning titles. It is a seriously popular and exciting sport for everyone who trains and competes with their dog. It is also super fun to watch! So join us and the event’s sponsor, Albany Obedience Club, as we host American Kennel Club Scent Trials at the Museum.
The scent work sport will take place inside and outside of the Museum building, with as many as 80-90 teams competing during the event! Also during this event, there will be a canine-inspired Scavenger Hunt in the Museum for kids. Free admission will be offered during the first day of the event (May 7th, Saturday) from 10:00am – 12:00pm. Museum general admission resumes on day two of the event (May 8th, Sunday).
PLEASE NOTE: ONLY CANINES REGISTERED FOR THIS EVENT WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE GROUNDS.
Free admission to the Museum and the scavenger hunt activity were made possible by a generous grant award from the Museum’s Super Saturdays sponsor: Hudson River Bank and Trust Co. Foundation

ARTIST AND PERFORMER
BRODY: Brody started with clay sculpture; she moved to cement to create larger, life-sized women. Both materials are from the earth and retained their earth tones; currently she is working in paper mache—still figurative but now with color and collaged image from her photography and from magazines and books. The forms are familiar, but the addition of image and color adds a new dimension. There are references to her surroundings encountered on daily walks.
ARTIST
Lizz Ndoye continues her love affair with her doll “creatures” – soft, fabric, humanoid figures that she makes and installs in tandem with her large canvases and drawings to depict aspects of their doll culture and existence and ability to heal.

About the poem: Thunder, Perfect Mind is a poem written by an unknown woman circa 400 A.D. (C.E.) . It is part of a collection of Gnostic Texts found at Nag Hammadi. It is thought to have originated in Alexandria, written in Greece and translated into Coptic and is the only manuscript known to have survived. Scholars assume it was written by a woman since its form and content follows early Jewish, Egyptian, and Gnostic poems said to be “… the self-revelation of a powerful goddess.” (Patricia Cox Miller: Professor Syracuse University)

"World of Frida" Artist Tour: Adela Antoinette and Maya Vera
2022-05-14 13:00 - 14:00 | Hudson River Museum, 511 Warburton Ave, Yonkers, NY, 10701
Self-portraits by Adela Antoinette and Maya Vera are on view in The World of Frida; their artworks emulate Kahlo in very different ways. Join the artists in the galleries for a discussion about how Kahlo’s work influenced them.
Frida Kahlo once said, “I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.” In recreating the self-portraits of historic artists through her mastery of theatrical make-up and props, Antoinette comes to inhabit them and experience surprising emotional connections. Vera’s performance-based photographs explore her ethnicity and identity as a Mexican-American woman. Her characters exploit viewers’ perceptions of the female body in unexpected and uncomfortable ways.
