Olana State Historic Site
Join experts for a series of dialogues on paintings from OLANA's collection that are worth a closer look. During this program, Dr. Rosanna Flouty will lead a discussion centered on two of Church's Catskill paintings illuminating dynamics of territorial power. Using deep looking and a short, hands-on activity, participants will examine how Church's works serve as lenses for interrogating colonial histories and the reclamation of landscape. This conversation will catalyze discussions on the power of land as a contested site of identity, ownership, and cultural memory. Register.

Olana State Historic Site
During this virtual conversation, author Debra Bruno will detail her experience unearthing her own family's connection to an often overlooked and violent part of New York history. When Debra realized that her Dutch ancestors had been some of the most entrenched enslavers during 200 years of slavery in New York, she began the process of telling this story, resulting in a deeply personal and nuanced account of the ways America's complicated history affects us all. During this program, she will be joined in conversation by Leigh Fludd-Smith of the African American Archive of Columbia County. Register.
