Join us for an evening with the photographer Gerald Cyrus (SVA MFA Photo/Video, ‘92). A member of the historic Kamoinge photography collective, Cyrus’ work has been widely exhibited and published. Cyrus has photographed extensively worldwide, notably in Cuba, Brazil, New Orleans, Camden, and Philadelphia, where he currently lives. His recent books include Stormy Monday: New York’s Uptown Jazz Scene and Harlem Nights, 1990-2001. Gerald Cyrus was born in 1957 in Los Angeles, CA and took up photography there in 1984. In 1990 he moved to New York City to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts (SVA), which he obtained in 1992. While at SVA, Cyrus interned at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and began work on  Kinship , a project focusing on African-American family life. In 1994, he started frequenting the nightclubs and bars in Harlem and photographed the vibrant music scene in that historic neighborhood for over six years. The resulting body of work, entitled Stormy Monday: New York’s Uptown Jazz Scene, was published as a book in 2008. In 2000, Cyrus moved to Philadelphia, PA and began photographing in that city as well as the nearby city of Camden, NJ. Cyrus has also photographed extensively in Bahia, Brazil and in New Orleans (before and after Hurricane Katrina) where his family has an extensive history. In 2016 he spent a short time in Havana, Cuba where he was able to explore the rich street culture there. Cyrus has been an artist-in-residence at Light Work in Syracuse, NY and twice at the Sacatar Foundation in Bahia, Brazil. He has also been awarded artist’s fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts and from the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage. His photographs are in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the Amistad Center at the Wadsworth Museum of Art, the Museum of the City of New York, the New York Public Library and the Free Library of Philadelphia, among many others. As mentioned above, his book Stormy Monday: New York’s Uptown Jazz Scene was published in 2008. A catalog from his show at Haverford College, Portrait of Camden in Photographs, 2001-2008 was published in 2013. And in 2022, Café Royal Books in England published his book Harlem Nights, 1990-2001. Cyrus currently lives in Philadelphia and is also a member of the historic photographers’ collective Kamoinge, Inc. Tuesday, February 25th, 2024 6:30 pm 214 East 21st Street - 1st Floor - Big Room

The Metropolitan Museum is a world-class art museum in New York City, USA. I have some brief feelings after visiting: 1. Extensive collections: The Metropolitan Museum has a wide range of collections, including artworks from Europe and the Americas, artworks from Africa and Asia, ancient artworks and more. These collections show the development of human art and culture. 2. Fine art: The artworks in the museum, whether they are paintings, sculptures or crafts, have made me feel the talents and innovation of the artists. 3. Interactive: There are many interactive exhibitions in the museum, which can better understand and appreciate the artwork. 4. Educational: The explanations and guided tours in the museum are very detailed, and for me, this is a good opportunity to learn and understand art. 5. Spacious and comfortable: the museum has a reasonable space layout and makes people feel very comfortable. It doesn&rsquo;t feel crowded even with a lot of people. Overall, visiting the Metropolitan Museum was a very pleasant experience and I highly recommend everyone to have the opportunity to visit.

The representative of New York, the United States, there are two lines to go, we are on the ferry, and there are speedboats to sit, but this is the most cost-effective. I went at two o&#39;clock in the afternoon. There were not many people. It was just right to come back. If I went in the morning, there were more tour groups and the queue was very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York is full of creativity and modernity. The artworks in the museum span multiple fields, from Picasso to Andy Warhol, and each piece of work can inspire thinking. The exhibition is rich in content and the space is beautifully designed, which is very suitable for art lovers and cultural tourists.
