SUMMARY:Podcast: Site Unseen - Draft Riots
DESCRIPTION:Site Unseen takes listeners into the Staten Island Museum’s collections to see how documents\, photos\, and objects illuminate local history. Audio shorts bring together present-day advocates\, policymakers and historians\, to retell\, reveal\, and amplify site-specific stories. \nEpisode 1: Draft Riots\nIn this episode public historian and policy analyst Debbie-Ann Paige will lead us on a harrowing journey along Staten Island’s north shore in the path of the Civil War Draft Riots which gripped New York City in July of 1863. \n \nStaten Island Museum · Site Unseen | Episode 1: William Olliffe’s Diary\nDebbie-Ann Paige’s research illuminates how the Civil War Draft Riots on Staten Island targeted historically Black neighborhoods and abolitionist enclaves on the North Shore. Using William Olliffe’s diary as a point of reference\, Paige will explore the contemporary political and economic tensions between pro- and anti- slavery factions and Black and immigrant laborers that led to the Draft Riots in the mid-19th century on Staten Island. \nThe riots rose in response to Congress’ Conscription Act\, which mandated the first wartime draft in US History. The law made men between the ages of 20 and 45 liable to go to war. However\, a man could avoid the draft by paying a fee or hiring a substitute to fight in his place. The act did not apply to African American men who were not considered citizens. In New York\, the white\, mostly Irish and Irish-American working class\, who could not afford to pay to avoid military service\, felt the burden of the war fell unfairly on their shoulders. During the riots they took their anger out on the draft officials\, the pro-war and anti-slavery press\, white\, often wealthy\, abolitionists\, and most viciously on Black New Yorkers\, leaving death and destruction in their wake. \nAs you will hear\, the Conscription Act provided the spark in a powder keg of existing economic and racial tension in New York City and throughout the entire war-torn nation. Throughout the episode\, Debbie-Ann Paige weaves this overarching narrative in and out of the stories of Staten Islanders who were targeted by the rioters. Christopher Franz reads a firsthand account of the riots by William Olliffe who worked at the Tompkinsville ferry landing during the Civil War and kept a diary documenting his experiences. His diary is housed in the Museum’s collection. \n*Note: This episode contains depictions of graphic violence. Listener discretion is advised. \nDebbie-Ann Paige\nDebbie-Ann Paige is a public historian specializing in local African American history\, a co-president of the newly chartered Richard B. Dickenson Staten Island Chapter of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society (AAHGS) and professional genealogist. She has worked on numerous local history projects including: In Pursuit of Freedom with the Brooklyn Historical Society; Women of the Nation Arise! and From Farm to City with the Staten Island Museum; and the designation of the Louis Napoleon House as a site to freedom with the National Park Service Underground Railroad Network on behalf of the Sandy Ground Historical Society. \nAdditionally\, Debbie-Ann is a policy analyst with the Council of State Governments Eastern Regional Conference working with state policymakers on issues relevant to veterans’ affairs and staffs the organization’s new initiative Council on Communities of Color (CCC). She has also served as an advisor to the Daniel Society\, Center for Law and Justice. \nChristopher Franz\nChristopher Franz is Chair of the Department of History & Social Sciences at Monsignor Farrell High School. Formerly the Political Editor for The Staten Island Register\, he wrote extensively on local history\, New York City and State government\, and environmental issues. \nClick here to read the Show Notes.

SUMMARY:Placed Notes Opus 2\, 3 & 4
DESCRIPTION:A spaced composition for 31 Performing Artists \nPerformance will take place on the grounds surrounding the Staten Island Museum \nJoin artist\, composer\, and trumpeter Volker Goetze and 31 other performers for an interactive musical experience. The audience moves through the compositions and forms to experience changing sounds from darker to lighter\, major to minor\, and descending to ascending sounds. The compositions are placed notes organized in space creating a musical tunnel or spiral with specific soundscape concepts – one parameter being the cardinal points: lighter keys in the south\, darker keys and modes in the north\, ascending sounds in the east and descending sounds in the West. The musicians will walk freely in space and improvise. The second composition creates a tunnel which the audience can walk through hearing a melody at the speed they choose to move. A third composition will position the musician in a spiral which the audience can walk inside or leave to experience other cords and sounds preorganized by imaginary diagonals. \nThe first Opus of “Place Notes” was performed at the “Supergau” festival in Germany\, which brought contemporary art to the German countryside. \n \n  \nAbout Volker Goetze:\nArtist\, composer and trumpeter Volker Goetze arrived in New York 20 years ago. His contributions to the art world and city are multifaceted. He recently produced New York City’s first Sound Sculpture Walk (Sonic Gates)\, toured the globe for over 12 years with his transcultural African-Harp and trumpet duo\, released multiple jazz albums including large ensembles and orchestral while also creating feature documentaries – uplifting and inspiring communities and fans. His recordings received highest honors as best World Music Release by Public Radio International and reached #1 on iTunes. Past performances include the Jazz Gallery New York\, LA Festival of Sacred Music\, Paris Jazz Festival\, Jazz A Vienne\, New Philharmonie Paris\, Munich Opera Festival\, and Panama World Music Festival. In 2017 Volker Goetze received the EtM Con Edison Composers’ Residency and composed a VR work about New York City’s mass grave on Hart Island titled ‘Unique Places of Death NYC.’ Currently he is working on a Community VR Performance about indigenous homelessness and genocide celebrating culture overcoming historic trauma funded by the McKnight Visiting Composer with the American Composers Forum.
