An explosion of culture in Harlem The first stage of the Harlem Renaissance started in the late 1910s. 1917 saw the premiere of  Three Plays for a Negro Theatre . These plays, written by white playwright  Ridgely Torrence , featured African-American actors conveying complex human emotions and yearnings. They rejected the stereotypes of the  blackface  and  minstrel show  traditions.  James Weldon Johnson  in 1917 called the premieres of these plays "the most important single event in the entire history of the Negro in the American Theater." [8]  Another landmark came in 1919, when the poet  Claude McKay  published his militant sonnet, "If We Must Die". Although the poem never alluded to race, to African-American readers heard its note of defiance in the face of racism and the nationwide race riots and  lynchings  then taking place. By the end of the First World War, the fiction of James Weldon Johnson and the poetry...

Her latest venture is  Art Story , a concept shop created with the help of  Art.com  and a group of eight masters students of interior design at Pratt Institute . Project leaders LuzElena Wood and Kelly Rosen worked as part of a team of eight graduating students, collectively making the jump from classroom to client meetings. "Art Story" will run through 16 April 2013. In the meantime, Wood, Rosen and the other 18 students in Pratt's Exhibition Design Intensive program have other projects to complete before their May graduation.

February 02, 2004 The Shively Sanitary Tenements AKA, my old apartment building. In 1909, Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt Sr. put up $1 million dollars to build the Shively Sanitary Tenements, otherwise known as the Vanderbilt Model Tenements, in an attempt to combat the growing problem of tuberculosis in New York City. At the turn of the century, urban families were crammed into cramped, dark apartments, the perfect breeding ground for the white plague. Her tenements were to house families with at least one member ill with tuberculosis as an alternative to seeking open-air treatment in the country (in essence, for families that could not afford to send their loved one upstate). The three-year experiment sought to create hospital-based housing in a cooperative format. The creators felt that they could create a treatment plan where patients were able to maintain their normal life and, at the same time, receive treatment, housing, and food at a reduced cost for the city. Imagined by Dr...

Installation by Cuban artist Esterio Segura on Times Square New York, 21 March 2013, Art Media Agency (AMA). The installation, titled  Goodbye My Love , will be on display from 18 March to 13 May 2013. This event is intended to give Times Square’s visitors the opportunity to view major contemporary artworks, with a broad variety of mediums. The installation  Goodbye My Love  will be visible on Anita’s Way, which links West 42 nd  Street to West 43 rd  Street, between 6 th  Avenue and Broadway. Esterio Segura is a pioneer of Cuban contemporary art. His installation refers to love in contemporary relationships, where partners often have to live at a distance. The work is therefore twofold, on the one hand the spectator feels joy, and on the other a kind of bittersweet emotion, linked to his affective experience. Works by the artist have a deep resonance with people who had to leave their families and homelands like he did. This installation had ...
