Rogers Memorial Library

This classic film pairs the legendary Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart as two mismatched strangers who embark on a long and difficult journey aboard the African Queen steamboat during World War I. Joining forces to aid the British war effort despite their clashing personalities, their adventure along the river gradually transforms from rivalry to romance. Directed by John Huston, the movie was nominated for four Academy Awards and was notable for having been filmed in the Belgian Congo and Uganda. Bogart won his only Oscar for his role.

In celebration of&nbsp;<a href="https://parrishart.org/exhibitions/fresh-paint-tschabalala-self/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">FRESH PAINT: Tschabalala Self</a>, join us for a conversation&nbsp;in the Lobby&nbsp;with exhibiting artist Tschabalala Self and New York-based writer, curator, and historian Camille Okhio, whose newly commissioned essay reflects on Self’s&nbsp;Adam and Eve&nbsp;(2025).
Advance registration is recommended. Limited spaces will be available at the door.
About the Exhibition For the sixth iteration of the collaborative&nbsp;FRESH PAINT&nbsp;exhibition series, the Parrish Art Museum and The FLAG Art Foundation are pleased to present work by the artist Tschabalala Self (American, b. 1990 in Harlem, NY). Self’s painting&nbsp;Adam and Eve&nbsp;(2025), made for her recent solo exhibition at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, is presented for the first time in the U.S. at the Parrish.
FRESH PAINT&nbsp;is a rotating series of single-artwork exhibitions at the Parrish that spotlight new or rarely exhibited works by both emerging and established artists. By circumventing traditional exhibition planning timelines—which can extend years into the future—FRESH PAINT&nbsp;provides a platform for artists to promptly showcase freshly created artworks and ideas, allowing for a more direct response to current issues and cultural movements. This approach fosters a timelier dialogue between the Museum, visitors, and our surrounding community. Presented in the Parrish’s Creativity Lounge located in the Lobby,&nbsp;FRESH PAINT&nbsp;is open to the public at no charge during regular Museum hours.
FRESH PAINT: Tschabalala Self&nbsp;is organized by Scout Hutchinson, The FLAG Art Foundation Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at the Parrish Art Museum, in collaboration with Jon Rider, Director; Caroline Cassidy, Deputy Director; and Madeline DeFilippis, Exhibitions and Programs Manager, at FLAG.
Exhibition Support FRESH PAINT: Tschabalala Self is made possible, in part, thanks to the generous support of The FLAG Art Foundation.

Panel discussion with artist Sara Siestreem and members of the Shinnecock Kelp Farmers, Moderated by Associate Curator Scout Hutchinson
May 24, 2 PM - 3 PM

Free for Members | Free for Resident Benefits PassHolders | $25 Guests of Member | $30 Adults | Free for Students &amp; Children
Join us in the Lichtenstein Theater for a conversation between artist Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos) and members of the <a href="https://www.shinnecockkelpfarmers.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Shinnecock Kelp Farmers</a> to celebrate their collaborative work presented in the exhibition&nbsp;<a href="https://parrishart.org/exhibitions/regeneration/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Regeneration: Long Island’s History of Ecological Art and Care</a>. The conversation will be moderated by Scout Hutchinson, The FLAG Art Foundation Associate Curator of Contemporary Art.
The Shinnecock Kelp Farmers are an intergenerational collective of Indigenous women who are restoring the ancestral Shinnecock tradition of seaweed harvesting to address pollution in local waters. In 2024, Siestreem began working closely with these water protectors to learn about their project and the significance of Sugar Kelp to Shinnecock lifeways. A traditional source of food, medicine, and natural fertilizer, the kelp also absorbs excess nitrogen, helping to clean the water of harmful contaminants that impact human and aquatic life. Drawing on Siestreem’s myriad processes—from abstract mark making and basket weaving to Xerox transfers—the works created for Regeneration reflect her collaboration with the Shinnecock Kelp Farmers and their shared emphasis on Indigenous land rights, community engagement, and ecological restoration.
Advance registration is recommended. Limited spaces will be available at the door.
About the Exhibition Regeneration: Long Island’s History of Ecological Art and Care (February 22–June 14, 2026) showcases works that emerge from the convergence of ecological art, environmental action, and community collaboration. The exhibition presents eleven intergenerational artists with strong ties to Long Island and New York—including Scott Bluedorn, Jeremy Dennis (Shinnecock), Sasha Fishman, Maya Lin, Tucker Marder, Mamoun Nukumanu, Randi Renate, Cindy Pease Roe, Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos), Alan Sonfist, and Michelle Stuart—whose works stem from an active involvement with the environmental challenges that impact the East End. Addressing rising sea levels, depleted natural habitats, and ocean pollution, the artists in Regeneration approach these issues from a place of curiosity, hope, and shared responsibility, ultimately modeling restorative ways of engaging with our ecosystems.
