Lecture | Francisco Vicente Aguilera: The Diary and Death of a Cuban General in New York


The first war for Cuba’s independence broke out in October 1868, creating a flow of refugees that came primarily to New York. By 1870, Cuban New York had become the largest community of Latin Americans east of the Mississippi. As the war raged on and resources dwindled, the financial backing from the expatriate community for the Cuban rebels became even more critical. Yet, New York’s Cubans were sharply divided and incapable of uniting to effectively support the insurgents. In August of 1871, in a last-ditch effort to organize the émigrés, General Francisco Vicente Aguilera, the highly respected patrician and Vice President of the Cuban Republic in Arms, arrived in New York, where he struggled valiantly and unsuccessfully for nearly six years to bring the fractious exile community together before dying of throat cancer in his Manhattan home. The recent publication in Cuba of his New York diary throws a new light on the dynamics of Cuban New York and the forces that led to the failure of the 1868 conflict. Lecturer Lisandro Pérez is Professor and Chair of the Department of Latin American and Latina/o Studies of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York.

Forum | Harnessing the Spatial Data Explosion


We live in a world where vast troves of new information are being captured every day: smartphones double as data collection devices; social media applications aggregate geographically encoded mood swings; collectively tagged photos lead to new spatial data; global volunteers charting unmapped cities in the face of disasters or create new historical climate models from old ship logs; and cheap hardware is hacked to monitor trees, air quality or collect new aerial photography sets. This information is increasingly being put to the test in disaster relief, scientific analysis, historical research, government and private sector planning and operations support as well as environmental and social advocacy. But can we conceive a situation where all of this data is vetted and validated for accuracy, flows freely and transparently among volunteers, expert users, government agency staff, and private sector servers? What would that take? Is it even possible or desirable? This conversation features speakers representing four different corners of the crowdsourcing geo data world including crisis responders, social media data crunchers, hardware hackers and sensor data collectors and citizen science enablers. They will talk about some of their experiences with collecting data, extolling lessons learned, warnings, upshots, pitfalls in their processes and how their data can be better operationalized by more and more users in both known and unanticipated ways. Program Speakers: *Colin Reilly, Director of GIS/Mapping for NYC's Department of Information and Telecommunications Technology, will talk about NYC's new relationship with Openstreetmap. *Joe Saavedra, of Parsons School of Design, will talk about citizen science hardware hacks and environmental sensor data collection. *Aaron Straup Cope, web designer and internet typist at Cooper Hewitt Museum (formerly of Flickr & Stamen Design) will talk about generating geodata (alphashapes) from Flickr tags. *Georgia Bullen, Field Technologist at the Open Technology Institute (OTI) of the New America Foundation, will talk about civic hacking and citizen science in Red Hook.

Concert | Bach Suites in the Dark, a unique approach to Bach’s Cello Suites


Cellist Augustin Maurs's Bach Suites in the Dark offers a unique approach to Bach’s Cello Suites. After of years of investigation, the Suites are removed from the concert hall and placed in an unilluminated space, in which the cellist repeatedly plays them over a period of ten days. Through the extended time frame and the elimination of any visual input, the listener and the playing musician are unified within the same visual and musical space. Originally conceived as studies, Bach’s Cello Suites are a series of dances written around 1720. Although unaccompanied, they are expansive polyphonic musical masterpieces, considered both the beginning and culmination of the cello repertoire. Uncertainty about the original creative intentions of the Suites invites perpetual debate and allows imaginative free reign for redefining the environment in which they are played. Bach Suites in the Dark removes the Suites from the concert hall explores their malleability and the notion of practice in which they are rooted.

Concert | The Campbell Brothers: African-American Gospel with Steel Guitar


The Campbell Brothers, leading exponents of the sacred steel tradition that has sprung from the sanctuary to the concert stage, present a program of African American gospel with a twist: the growling, wailing, singing, and swinging voice of the steel guitar transformed into a devotional instrument. Pedal steel guitarist Chuck Campbell, a National Heritage Fellow, is joined by brothers Darick on lap steel and Phil on electric guitar in an evening that will move sinners and saints alike to jump for joy.
