The Albany Institute of History and Art honor the past while looking ahead to the future

What’s to see at the Institute

ALBANY — The past and the present meet at the Albany Institute of History and Art with its fall and winter exhibitions that capture the wonder of imagination, an integral and beloved fine art movement, and a journey through history to the modern day created by a thriving community of artisans.

As the Albany Institute prepares for 2025 with their exhibition beginning on Saturday, Feb. 1, with “Americans Who Tell the Truth” featuring the works of Robert Shetterly, fiber artist Salley Mavor’s wildly successful exhibit “Enchanting Threads: The Art of Salley Mavor” continues through Sunday, Feb. 23, 2025.

As fabric, embroidery, and textile arts have resurged in recent years, Mavor has amassed a large social media following of all ages devoted to her ‘Wee Folk’ series and characters. With her books, Mavor has opened up a world of imagination as she transforms pipe cleaners, fake flowers, and hand-dyed fabrics into charming worlds.

“Everybody wants their grandchildren or children to have one of her books because they’re playful and innocent, yet so incredibly creative when you look at the details and the stitching,” said Curator Diane Shewchuk.

The exhibit includes Mavor’s series from her picture book “My Bed: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep Around the World,” a whimsical and intimate story about how children fall asleep in their bedrooms all over the world, from India and Japan to Scandinavia and North America.

“To see all of the care and attention to detail and craft that goes into every single scene is remarkable, and how inventive she is with the designs, colors, and motifs,” said Marisa Espe, Director of Communications. “You can keep looking at these and really pay attention to the tiny little details in these works.”

Last Mohican in world of classical music: Musicians condole death of Zakir Hussain

Kolkata: Leading musicians of West Bengal on Monday mourned the death of Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain, describing him as a humble artist despite being the last of the Mohicans in the world of classical music. The 73-year-old US-based musician, who has taken the tabla to the global stage, died in a hospital in San Francisco, US, his family said on Monday.

Hussain died from complications arising out of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, the family said in a statement.

Santoor artist Pt Tarun Bhattacharya said, “There will not be another Zakir Hussain. He was the last Mohican in the world of classical music or one of the last Mohicans.”

Hussain experimented with Tabla bol (rhythm) in different classical ragas and style, Bhattacharya said, adding that Tablas used to speak under his hand.

Bhattacharya recalled that he would touch the feet of elders on stage before any performance.


He was the one who had brought Indian tabla before the world and made Indian classical instrumental music on par with the Beatles, the Santoor player said. Gima award winner and jury member for Grammy, Tabla artist Pradyut Mukherjee, described Hussain as a versatile player who was a great performer on stage. “I consider him as a mentor though he was not officially my guru. I had learnt rhythms and beats from him and he was always very humble and polite never showing any high highhandedness to newcomers,” he said.

Mukherjee said Hussain was always eager to help a budding talent if he could spot any spark in his repertoire.

“Zakir ji used to visit the shop of a Tabla maker in South Kolkata and would use their instrument for his performance here and abroad,” Mukherjee said.

Sarod player Pt Tejendra Narayan Majumdar…

‘Last of Mohicans’: Chadians saddle up for bush horse racing

Biligoni, Chad: Through a cloud of dust in the late afternoon sunshine, Chadian jockeys, some riding bareback, raced their sleek, muscular steeds around the oval track marked out just a few days earlier to the cheers of a large crowd.

Horse racing in the central African country draws the wealthy and elite who venture far from the comforts of the big city to camp out in the bush to enjoy it.

From members of the president’s family to the stable owners, businessmen, diplomats and high-ranking officials, race season is a prestigious affair in one of the poorest countries in the world.

“Winning a race in Chad is like winning the Champion’s League,” said racehorse breeder and owner Amir Adoudou Artine, puffing on a small cigar, referring to the annual football competition of top-division European clubs.

Less well-heeled racegoers climbed trees or sat on the roofs of 4×4 pick-up trucks to get a good view of the Biligoni racecourse, in a town midway between the bush and the desert in the southwest of Barh el Gazel province.

Horse racing in Chad evolved decades ago from links with its former colonial ruler France, which has suffered a series of setbacks in the turbulent Sahel recently as Chad and others have ended military cooperation with Paris.

This year’s location was chosen as it is the home of Idriss Ahmed Idriss, a racehorse owner who is head of an association promoting improvements in horse breeding…

Stockbridge Munsee tribal leader’s advice: ‘Our culture isn’t for sale’

STOCKBRIDGE — At the first meeting of the town’s new Stockbridge Mohican Commission, members shared a number of ideas about how to foster closer ties between the town and the Stockbridge-Munsee Community.

Shannon Holsey, President, Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians

Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians President Shannon Holsey, shown in 2023, told members of the Stockbridge Mohican Commission last week that she appreciates “the opportunity to expand our relationship and work collectively on behalf of our nation and Stockbridge.”

BEN GARVER — THE BERKSHIRE EAGLE

But the message from the community’s tribal president was pointed yet friendly: We’ll take the lead on closer ties with the town.

“I look forward to working with all of you, I appreciate the opportunity to expand our relationship and work collectively on behalf of our nation and Stockbridge,” Shannon Holsey told commission members via Zoom at their Nov. 25 meeting televised by CTSB-TV.

The co-chairs of the commission are tribal liaison Sherry White and Select Board member Patrick White. Other members include Stockbridge Land Trust President Rich Bradway; Bonney Hartley, Stockbridge-Mohican tribal historic preservation manager, and local researcher and former Police Chief Rick Wilcox.

Holsey’s comments followed suggestions by Patrick White ranging from adding the names of Revolutionary War soldiers from the Stockbridge-Munsee Community Band of Mohican Indians to a proposed Revolutionary War memorial on the town green next to the First Congregational Church.

The town already has a memorial to honor local troops who fought in the Civil War, the two world wars, as well as the Korea and Vietnam wars.

Another suggestion by Patrick White involves installing Main Street historical markers — up…

Suit up for the first expedition on Sunday; winner keeps the pickle and other prizes

In Loudonville and Perrysville, holiday celebrations aren’t just about tree lightings or Santa visits − they’re all about pickles.

Residents eagerly search for pickles hidden throughout the Mohican area as part of the annual Pickle Hunt, an event organized by the Cleo Redd Fisher Museum and supported by local businesses.

The Pickle Hunt draws inspiration from a Victorian tradition where families hid a pickle ornament in the Christmas tree, with the lucky finder earning an extra gift. The museum revived the idea over a decade ago, transforming it into a community-wide event.

This year’s Lord of the Pickles is Matt Armstrong. He is tasked with hiding the pickles somewhere in the Mohican area community. Armstrong is a past Pickle Hunt winner.This year’s Lord of the Pickles is Matt Armstrong. He is tasked with hiding the pickles somewhere in the Mohican area community.

Throughout December, pickles are hidden in public spaces; clues are shared in a Facebook group Pickle Hunt. clues start vague, narrowing throughout the day, until a hunter finds the pickle, claims the prize and resets the hunt.

Winners keep the hand-painted pickle, painted by the L-P Art Club and custom 3D printed by Gorman-Rupp Industries, along with prizes worth $65 or more, donated by over a dozen local businesses.

New welcome signs being installed in 65 Detroit neighborhoods. Here’s where you’ll see them

DETROIT – New signs are being installed across 65 Detroit neighborhoods to welcome residents and visitors.

Mayor Mike Duggan and members of the Department of Neighborhoods and General Services Department unveiled the first new sign on Monday, according to a release from the city.

The new signage comes after city council members approved a $512,000 contract with Space Lab Development earlier this year.

“Every one of Detroit’s neighborhoods has its own name and its own identity and we wanted to celebrate the pride residents have in their community,” said Mayor Duggan. “Thanks to the American Rescue Plan Act, the City was able to help each neighborhood celebrate that pride.”

What do Detroit’s new welcome signs look like?

Each neighborhood will receive up to three wooden signs, which are more than six feet tall, and about four feet wide. Every sign will reflect the unique identity of each neighborhood, according to the city.

The city has partnered with Brightmoor Makerspace Association, a center that allows youth and adults “foster their creative skills, craftmanship, and business ideas.”

Applications to request these new signs were sent to neighborhoods “with an active neighborhood association,” according to the city said.

The city’s general services department and residents worked together on the design of the signs. There were 39 colors, 10 sign shapes and three fonts that could be chosen for the signs.

Each sign includes the following:

  • Neighborhood name

  • Neighborhood slogan

  • Year the neighborhood/association was established

  • City logo and city of Detroit flag

“We as a department are excited to honor our neighborhoods by providing neighborhood signs that help identify the uniqueness of our communities. These neighborhoods have taken the time to organize associations and strengthen their communities for generations to come” Ray Solomon, Department of Neighborhoods Manager…

“That sign represents cohesiveness. People that are outside the community can see something going on. There’s unity,” said George Preston a neighborhood representative from the area.

“They’re all a little different in their shapes and colors, but still representing the Detroit Flag,” said Zak Meers, with the general services department.

To qualify for a neighborhood sign, the community would need to be listed on the city’s website.

The signs cost $512,000 and were approved by the Detroit City Council over the summer.
