With the move of the Tamanend statue to a more central location in historic Philadelphia\, it might appear that this is a time of resurgence for Lenape people. Almost 350 years after the fabled handshake between the Lenape and William Penn under an elm tree at the bank of the river\, the Lenape are seeing a resurgence once more. But what does this move mean? What kind of future does it anticipate for both Lenape and non-Lenape people? In this talk Harvard Professor Morgan Ridgway will explore what efforts to memorialize Native American and Lenape history in particular might mean for Philadelphia. In a state that does not recognize the Lenape nation as a legitimate political entity\, what is the role of preserving Indigenous history? What are the obligations or responsibilities for public historians in assuring that Lenape people have a past that is knowable to residents and visitors of the city but are not solely of the past? Beginning with a brief history of what has become the iconic representation of Lenape people\, Ridgway wants us to consider how the image of the handshake and its implications (or desires) of peace have brought us to this current moment. Then\, he wants us to think about what monuments invite us to imagine for the future and think through just some of the possibilities that might be on the horizon for Lenape people\, for Native Americans more broadly\, and residents of Philadelphia as a whole. This is an exploration of just one of the pathways that might be possible moving forward from this moment of historical reckoning and we hope in the time we have together we can further imagine what the future may look like; one that is perhaps more honest\, ethical\, and responsible. \nFREE but registration is required. \n \n Reserve Tickets URL:https://neighborhood-house.com/event/memorializing-native-american-and-lenape-history-virtual-talk/ LOCATION:Virtual Event\, Zoom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://neighborhood-house.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Tamanend.-Photo-courtesy-of-City-of-Philadelphia-3-1-1536x988-1.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230602T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230602T213000 DTSTAMP:20260420T031025 CREATED:20230515T212054Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230526T223431Z UID:13044-1685736000-1685741400@neighborhood-house.com SUMMARY:Candlelight Cabaret with John Jarboe DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an evening of jazz and John Jarboe\, illuminated by the gentle glow of candlelight.

Freshness\, youth and proximity have become distinctive features of the performances of this group\, which is beginning to build a remarkable national and international career. \nBorn at the Escuela Superior de Música de Cataluña-ESMUC (Barcelona)\, Cantoria took shape at the ECOS Festival Internacional de Música Antigua de Sierra Espuña (Murcia) during the summer of 2016. They were selected in EEEmerging+ (2018)\, a European cooperation programme for the promotion of emerging ensembles\, where they won the Audience Prize of the Ambronay Festival and were chosen to continue in the project for three more years (2018-2021). They have also enriched their experience by participating in the artistic residencies of the International Young Artists Presentation in Antwerp (2017) the Cité de la Voix in Vézelay (2018)\, Ghislierimusica in Pavia (2019)\, Händel-Festspiele in Göttingen (2019)\, National Forum of Music of Wroclaw (2020) or National Center of Early Music of York (2021) as well as in projects such as MusaE (2018 and 2019)\, the FestClásica circuit (2019)\, Joventuts Musicals de Catalunya (2020)\, which has led them to perform in the Auditorium of Barcelona\, in the Festival of Torroella de Montgri or in the Hospital Sant Pau of Barcelona. Their performances at festivals such as MA Brugge\, AMUZ of Antwerp\, A Cappella Festival of Leipzig\, Via Aeterna of Mont Saint-Michael\, Monteverdi Festival of Cremona represent a line of continuity with respect to their previous performances in other outstanding institutions such as the Prado Museum of Madrid\, the National Library of Spain or the Library of Catalonia. \nCantoría collaborates with institutions such as the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas\, the University of Murcia\, the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya or the Universitat Pompeu Fabra de Barcelona for the dissemination and recovery of the Iberian polyphonic repertoire. \nIn 2022 they published their first CD\, dedicated to the Ensaladas de Mateo Flecha\, which won important critical awards such as the “Diapason Dècouverte” label\, the “Melómano de Oro” prize or the “Preis del Schallplattenkritik”. \nCantoría has participated in special programs for the BBC\, France Musique\, Deutschlandfunk\, Swr3\, Radio Clásica\, Catalunya Música or Nederlandse Publieke Omroep 2.

Christ Church has been conducting research to discover the lives and everyday acts of resilience and survival by Black people\, both free and enslaved in Colonial Philadelphia. Many were buried on the grounds of Christ Church without headstones and this research is designed to shed light on who these people were. This research will culminate in On Buried Ground\, an upcoming performance running during the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. Part of the experience will also include an interactive art exhibit. Groundings: An Exhibition\, an immersive experience\, opens July 26 at 7 p.m. Through speculative storytelling and tangible peaks into the interior lives of some of these individuals portrayed in the On Buried Ground performance\, visitors will deepen their experience of the ancestors called forth. The exhibit is in the first floor of Christ Church Neighborhood House. \nThe exhibit focuses on Alice of Dunk’s Ferry and the children buried at Christ Church. This is a multidisciplinary exhibition that leverages visual art\, historical records\, and storytelling to explore the known and unknown histories of Black congregants at Christ Church\, including Alice of Dunk’s Ferry (1686 – 1802)\, who was a lifetime parishioner at Christ Church and a notable historian and storyteller. Visitors will peek into some of the individuals portrayed in the On Buried Ground performance\, and thus deepen their experience of the ancestors called forth. This exhibit features original work by artists Misty Sol\, Destiny Crockett\, Theodore Harris\, and Intisar Hamilton. \n“The exhibit provides a multifaceted exploration of Black history in and around Christ Church\, revealing narratives that have often been overlooked\,” said the exhibit’s curator Malkia Okech. “Parishioners of Christ Church included both free and enslaved Black people who had complete and whole multifaceted lives.” \nAudiences will encounter items from that time period. There will also be historical records\, audio sensory experiences\, and art that gives audiences an experience that makes the histories of the enslaved and free people of African descent in Philadelphia. \nThe On Buried Ground performance runs September 4-September 14\, during the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. Dance artist Shayla-Vie Jenkins and playwright Ang Bey have developed a piece of theatrical storytelling informed by the archival records and new scholarship. \n“Christ Church is a microcosm of what we understand as Philadelphia history.\,” said Okech. “Christ Church’s congregation included 15 signers of the Declaration of Independence and American Revolutionary War leaders. Attendees of Christ Church include George Washington\, Robert Morris\, Benjamin Franklin. At this same church the first Black Episcopal priest in America\, Absalom Jones\, was ordained. A source\, from the Library of Congress claims that 25 percent of all free and enslaved Africans in Philadelphia were baptized at the church. On Buried Ground\, both the performance and exhibit\, bring Black life to the center of a typically overshadowed narrative.” \nOn Buried Ground is funded by the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage. \n \n More Information URL:https://neighborhood-house.com/event/groundings-an-exhibition/ LOCATION:Neighborhood House\, 20 N American Street\, Philadelphia\, PA\, 19106\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://neighborhood-house.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/450304275_1009193701206389_6077584802751298218_n.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241208T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241208T193000 DTSTAMP:20260420T031025 CREATED:20241123T205509Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241123T205509Z UID:24344-1733682600-1733686200@neighborhood-house.com SUMMARY:Christmas Candlelit Tour DESCRIPTION:Join us in the timeless beauty of Christ Church during our Candlelit Christmas Tour at 6:30pm.
