Black History Month Celebration: Architecture of the Harlem Renaissance

The Harlem Renaissance was a period of cultural rejuvenation for Black communities in New York, giving rise to literary, artistic, and social movements that advocated for challenging segregation and for the adoption of civil rights. Join us to learn how these developments, including jazz poetry and musical theater, were reflected by Harlem’s architecture then and now. We’ll also create collages using cutouts of New York buildings, art pieces and literature from the Renaissance. All ages welcome!

This is an in-person children’s program that meets at the Skyscraper Museum, 39 Battery Pl.
