Things to do in Manhattan This Weekend
A number of exhibits and events that normally happen in Manhattan in March, have been rescheduled to September including the Paper Show, the Armory Show and the Clio Art Fair.
There's an exhibit by African American photographer, Micaiah Carter, entitled Black Beauty Vol. 1, which opened on February 11 and runs through March 27th [from 12 noon - 8 pm Wednesdays through Sundays] in the gallery of SN37 at 204 Front Street in the South Street Seaport. The exhibit is intended to broaden the spectrum of images that Americans have of African Americans.
Things to do in Brooklyn This Weekend
The Brooklyn Museum at 200 Eastern Parkway has about a dozen exhibits running at present. The two featured exhibits focus on Andy Warhol's Revelation print which explores the artist's religious faith [closes June 2022]. The other is one about Christian Dior entitled Designer of Dreams which includes, "... seventy-year history of the House of Dior with over two hundred haute couture garments as well as photographs, archival videos, sketches, vintage perfume elements, accessories, and works from the Museum’s collection...". The Dior exhibit closes February 20, 2022. Admission is $25 / $16 / $10 and CoVid protocols remain in effect. Details and tickets at www.brooklynmuseum.org.
The 10th Annual Winter Festival in Bay Ridge continues along Third Avenue. It's a collaboration of the Bay Ridge Arts & Cultural Alliance and the Merchants of Third Avenue in Bay Ridge.

The photo at right shows the sentiment of likely a Bronx native about the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. We've done two background reports providing contextual background information of the war. Providing background and context is an important part of reporting the news, and its an area in which the corporate-run, American TV networks seem to fail miserably.
Things to do in the Bronx This Weekend
The Orchid Show began at the NY Botanical Garden in late February and continues through April.
The Storming of the Capitol exhibit at the Bronx Doc Film Center at 614 Courtlandt Avenue in the Bronx opened Saturday, January 29th and runs through March 20, 2022.

In the photo at right is the juxtaposition of a photo showing Ashli Babbit lying on the floor in the Capitol, with people surrounding her [above], and the reflection of me in the gallery of the exhibit entitled Storming of the Capitol, at the Bronx Doc Film Center. The exhibit runs through next weekend, March 20, 2022.
Things to do on Staten Island This Weekend
At the Staten Island Museum located in the Snug Harbor Cultural Center in the Randall Manor neighborhood is an exhibit entitled Magicicada by Jennifer Angus. The work explores shapes inspired by the Staten Island Museum's cicada collection, which we are told is one of the largest in the world. Cicadas emerge from the ground in large numbers every 13 and 17 years. They cite E.O. Wilson's description of insects as "the little things that run the world". They are open Friday - Sunday from 11 am - 5 pm. Details and $8 tickets at www.statenislandmuseum.org.
