Beatrice Glow: When Our Rivers Meet on view at the New-York Historical Society
March 29 – August 18, 2024
New York, NY (February 6, 2024)—This March, the New-York Historical Society presents new work by artist-in-residence Beatrice Glow, which draws on her research into the Museum and Library’s vast collections. Beatrice Glow: When Our Rivers Meet reckons with the 400th anniversary of the establishment of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam in present-day Lower Manhattan, from both local and global perspectives. Working in conversation with a group of nine culture bearers, artists, and scholars whose heritages were impacted by the Dutch colonial enterprise, Glow has created a series of seven parade float maquettes, among additional works, that envision an alternative commemoration of the anniversary.
