This program will be the opening reception for the Art Project Armazoen's NYC Activation. After stops in the Netherlands, Angola, Curaçao, and Suriname, this international project arrives at its culminating stop - New York City October 8th to 25th. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArt Project Armazoen is based on an excerpt from an entry in the Dutch slave ship Hof van Zeeland, which was part of the Middelburgse Commercial Company (MCC) making its first triangular voyage between Middelburg, Angola and the Caribbean between 1732 and 1734. MCC is the Zeeland counterpart of the United East Indian Company and West Indian Company, which contested the sovereignty of Lenapehoking when it established the company outpost New Netherland in 1624. New Amsterdam was the capital of New Netherland and the antecedent to New York City. This excerpt from the ship describes five Angolan women who chose to jump overboard rather than be enslaved. One of them died. These few sentences in the archive, describing this experience, became the basis for Art Project Armazoen – an ode to their resistance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn addition to producing the NYC activation for Art Project Armazoen, Black Gotham Experience will be celebrating its 16th year throughout October. From a black historical walk that started on Wall Street in 2010 to producing international projects about the impact of the African Diaspora, we will take moments in reflecting on our journey that started with a question - “Where were the Black people?” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e_______________________________________________________________ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNERDY THURSDAYS is the Black Gotham Experience take on the Harlem Renaissance salon.
