SUMMARY:Miwa Ginen- Nou se Lwa  (Mirror of Ginen: We are the Spirits)
DESCRIPTION:Miwa Ginen- Nou se Lwa\, an exhibit by Aisha Jean-Charles\, is a series of devotional altar pieces that hold and radiate the presence of the Lwa\, powerful Haitian spirits. This folk art form serves not just as decoration but as energetic vessels that ground ceremonies\, honor ancestors\, and invite the Lwa to inhabit the space. Funding for the creation of these pieces was provided by a Support for Artist Grant by the New York State Council on the Arts. \nAn opening reception will be held on June 19th during Schenectady Art Night from 5pm to 8:00pm. Stop by the New York Folklore Gallery to view the exhibit. \nAbout the Artist: \nAisha Jean-Charles is a Haitian-born multidisciplinary artist whose work reflects the rich spiritual and cultural traditions of her heritage. Raised in New York after emigrating from Haiti at the age of nine\, Aisha is a proud Pitit Ginen (child of Ginen)\, deeply rooted in Haitian Vodou folk practices.  In Vodou folk tradition artistic abilities are believed to be ancestral gifts\, talents passed down through blood and spirit to honor and uplift Ginen\, the spiritual place where the ancestors and Lwa reside. \nRelated Programming: TBA \nThe exhibit can viewed whenever the New York Folklore Shop and Gallery are open.

SUMMARY:Astra by Victoria van der Laan
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of quilts and stretched works exploring the star\, a perennial motif within American patchwork. Learn more about Victoria and her work at her website: https://victoriavanderlaan.com/  \nOpening reception: April 17th\, 5pm to 8:30 pm\, in conjunction Schenectady Art Night. Stop by the New York Folklore Gallery to view the exhibit! \nAbout Victoria: \nMy work is an abstract interpretation of the traditional quilt-making techniques I learned from my Grandmothers. The painstaking handwork of my forebears never far from my mind as I work\, I am committed to revealing the inextricable connection between the traditions of Women’s Work and fine art. \nI am passionate about equitable access to art and subverting the gate-keeping that is so pervasive in the art world. I believe in alternative economies and want my work to be accessible to all. I offer an ongoing series of textile sketches with a pay-what-you-can model on Instagram and have recently shifted to a sliding scale pricing model for all of my work. I am always looking for ways to increase my role in the solidarity economy. \nGravely concerned about the climate crisis and the harmful role the textile industry plays in it\, I use only secondhand\, repurposed\, or vintage textiles in my work. Even the tiniest clipping of fabric and thread is kept for use in future work as I strive for a zero-waste practice \nRelated Programming: TBA \nThe exhibit can viewed whenever the New York Folklore Shop and Gallery are open. New York Folklore is located at 129 Jay Street\, Schenectady\, on the Jay Street Marketplace pedestrian mall. The Gallery is open  Monday through Saturday\, 10AM to 4PM\, and Sundays 10AM to 2PM.
