AaL & ArtsAmica present: Havana in Hyde Park; Revisited
2025-04-05 02:00 - 2025-07-01 01:59 | Hyde Park Branch of the Boston Public Library, 35 Harvard Avenue, Hyde Park, MA, 02136
Currently on view. Reception 6/14/25
The imagery of the island comes alive in these prints from Cuba in the second of four
installments of Havana in Hyde Park Revisited, a year-long series of exhibits from the
collection of ArtsAmica and Holliey White, on view until June 30. ArtsAmica was
established in 1996 and has been bringing artwork to the United States from Cuba and
working to support the artists of Cuba directly ever since. Artists-at-Large and ArtsAmica
co-hosted many Havana in Hyde Park exhibits over the years and wanted to celebrate
the series. Havana in Hyde Park Revisited will delve back into the world of Cuban art,
featuring painting, drawing and printmaking and will feature some previously exhibited
pieces along with some work not seen here before. The reception on Saturday, June 14
from 3 to 5 pm will feature a sale of prints on view in the Foyer Case.
About the Print Making techniques used in this exhibit
Collagraphy is a printmaking process in which materials are glued or sealed to a rigid
substrate (such as paperboard or wood) to create a plate. Once inked, the plate becomes a
tool for imprinting the design onto paper or another medium.
Lithography is the process of printing from a flat surface treated so as to repel the ink
except where it is required for printing.
Mixed Media; assemblages, collages, and sculpture are three common examples of art
using different media. Materials used to create mixed media art include, but are not
limited to, paint, cloth, paper, wood and found objects.
Serigraphy is a printing technique also known as screen printing, silkscreen printing, and
other names. The term originates from the Latin word ‘seri’ meaning ‘silk’, and the Greek
word ‘graphos’, which means ‘writing’.
Xerography (photocopying) is a technology using light and an electric charge to copy
images onto another sheet of paper invented in 1937

2025-04-24 13:00 - 14:30 | Hyde Park Branch of the Boston Public Library, 35 Harvard Avenue, Hyde Park, MA, 02136
Join the Book Club as we discuss Oshikazu Kawaguchi’s Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time. Meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the café’s time-traveling offer, to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early-onset Alzheimer’s, to see their sister one last time, and to meet the daughter they never got the chance to know. But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the café, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold.

The Trap Dorz and Nocturnal Adoration Society performs @ The MAC
2025-05-09 21:00 | Menino Arts Center, 26 Central Avenue, Hyde Park, MA, 02136
The Trap Dorz play original songs by former rocker Andy Hollinger, who has since moved on to playing quieter instruments. He sings and juggles the mandolin, plectrum banjo, and acoustic guitar while bandmates Rob Emslie (piano, guitar, heavenly harmonies) and Jarpo Born (hothouse harmonica) bring the rootsy songs to life, playing a mix of old and new tunes, including some from The Trap Dorz’s upcoming release later this summer. Their previous two releases are available at lowbudgetrecords.com and on various streaming platforms.
For those who like their pigeonholes neat and tidy, Jimmy Ryan is an unsettling proposition. He plays mandolin with the old-timey pluck of a bluegrass breakdown, but also with the ferocity of rock guitarist. He puts the “man” in mandolin. That melding of styles made Ryan an esteemed pioneer of the local “alt-country” brigade in the ’80 & ’90s when he founded and fronted the bluegrass-tinged rock band The Blood Oranges with the same eclectic approach, making him one of the most dynamic singer-songwriters on the rich Boston Americana scene today. His partner-in-Life, bassist Donna Sartanowicz possesses a silky mellow voice that has a way of slowing the heartbeat and lowering blood pressure. Nocturnal Adoration Society, their fascinating musical fusion duo of original songs, speak to mature life experiences, grounded in hard won wisdom and a partnership that has stood the test of time.
