Introducing our team member and Film Programmer, ro chanchall! @savageandroid
We are so fortunate to be working alongside you!

Born in Guyana and remixed by Queens, ro chanchall (they/them) is an experimental filmmaker, writer, and seeker whose artistic and spiritual practices are one. ro just wants to see clearly. They studied physics and anthropology at MIT and hold a degree in Film & Electronic Arts from Bard College. As alchemist|experimentalist and witch|theorist, ro fuses these methodologies into a rigorous tantric discipline. They experiment by filming in the dark to push the camera’s colonial gaze to its breaking point. Within the fertile abyss, ro transmutes the amnesia of coolie indenture—locating history not in the archive but in the body as an ongoing record, song immemorial.

This past weekend, we held an artist and community gathering, hosted at @kingmanor’s outdoor space.

We kicked off with an acknowledgment of Lenape ancestors and descendants of this land and we uplifted our urban Indigenous community that continues to live, work, and maintain a connection to this land at present. We then grounded in the space through our own inner wisdom and set intentions for our time together. Following this, we created a collective ancestor tree using twigs, leaves and objects that connect us to our own ancestors that we brought with us.

In observance of today’s Indigenous People’s Day, we reflected on the following discussion questions before closing out that we invite you to think about: what does it mean for diasporas to support indigenous rights and resistance? How is the history of assimilation of immigrants and indigenous people intertwined?

GHHN is thrilled to receive a second grant from the National Park Service’s Save America’s Treasures program to conserve 12 nationally significant objects at eight small and mid-size museums across New York State.

The objects tell extraordinary stories: a rare Tiffany stained-glass window, a flag mourning the death of Abraham Lincoln, John Burroughs’ personal satchel, the original documents behind Jell-O’s early history, and more.

These treasures connect us to the people, ideas, and events that shaped our state and our nation. Through conservation and educational workshops, this project will help ensure they remain available for research, exhibitions, and public engagement for generations to come.

Swipe through to learn more about the objects being conserved through this project!

Artist Talk at the closing of Art of Anthropocene for Environmental Justice at King Manor Museum.

On Saturday we had an enlightening talk amongst the participating visual artists to discuss the meaning of our artwork and its meaning towards environmental justice.

It was a delightful afternoon hearing the meaning behind all of the beautiful works that were on display. I’m very grateful to have taken part in this wonderful exhibition.
