#HappyEarthDay from the Hispanic Society Museum & Library. To celebrate, we are sharing several works from our current main court exhibition in which contemporary Brazilian artist Adriana Varejão explores one of the world’s most vital natural environments – the Amazon. Appearing on the front of each of Varejão’s five painted fiberglass tondos are important plants and animals from the region, which are juxtaposed with designs recalling historical pottery on the reverse of the objects. Many of the animals depicted in the works play a role in spiritual practices and belief systems of the Amazonian Yanomami people, pointing to a uniquely Amazonian conception of the complex and metamorphic relationality between the human and non-human world that has served as the foundation for Indigenous stewardship of the rainforest ecosystem across millennia. This is contrasted with the highly crafted patterns of human production, which has helped drive the depredation of the world’s natural resources. At a moment when our environment is at a crossroads, this exhibition provides an opportunity to reflect on the history that brought us to this point and how we can preserve our natural resources going forward.

The Hispanic Society’s celebration of Earth Day will continue on Saturday, May 10th with an art-making workshop led by artists María Luisa Portuondo and Aurora De Armendi Sobrino. As part of the Hispanic Society’s spring celebration on Audubon Terrace, Portuondo and Armendi Sobrino will share their project “Verde y Carmelita,” which explores humans’ relationships with trees. Workshop attendees will have an opportunity to participate in a creative brainstorming exercise to reflect on their experiences with trees and will then transform those experiences into small clay sculptures. Stay tuned for more information about the workshop and other programming for our spring celebration.

This Friday, April 26 at 1 PM, Dr. Bill Parry will lead an archaeological walking tour! The tour will start at the main flagpole inside Inwood Hill Park (this is the flagpole on the line of 207th Street, beyond the restrooms) and it will finish at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum!

On the tour you’ll get an impression of the ancient environment of Manhattan by seeing forest, springs, and salt marsh. We will next visit a shell midden site, rockshelters, and the former location of a large native village and burial site. We also will see sites of the Revolutionary War, including the site of a hut camp occupied by British soldiers (and the former Dyckman family orchard).

The event will not be held in the event of rain. It is advisable to wear sturdy, comfortable shoes, as there is a bit of walking over rocks, off path. Registration is required and spots are limited!
