SISTERS IN LIBERTY: From Florence, Italy to New York, New York
October 18, 2019 - April 26, 2020
At the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration
Two special “Sisters in Liberty” are the protagonists of this exhibition: the solemn "Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World" by Frédéric Bartholdi, which has welcomed those entering New York harbor since 1886, and the elegant "Liberty of Poetry" by Pio Fedi, inaugurated in 1883 as a monument to the Italian poet and patriot Giovanni Battista Niccolini at the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence. While similar in stance and in detail, the connections between these “sisters" are more than visual, and it is hoped that this new partnership will honor their symbolic and cultural similarities. Still today the question remains: was Bartholdi inspired by Fedi’s “Liberty”?
To open a dialogue with visitors, a video and a series of panels graphically reconstruct the history of the pursuit of self-determination in Italy and the United States. The exhibition culminates with a three-dimensional resin reproduction of Fedi’s “Liberty of Poetry” that is almost ten feet tall and weighs more than 500 pounds. In the same room, an innovative “Listening Wall” will encourage visitors to ponder the trajectory of humanity’s aspiration for liberty. The sculptural reproduction and the “Listening Wall” were created by interdisciplinary researchers at Kent State University who are creating new interactive tools to enhance public engagement with important issues of our time.
Visitors to the exhibition will be encouraged to explore the long-standing cultural ties between Italy and the United States through art, architecture, and the themes of liberty, poetry, and the human condition. The exhibition also highlights the global significance of the Basilica of Santa Croce and its many artistic treasures.

October 1, 2019 – The Turkish Coffee Truck will be on the road this September to spread love for the authentic taste of Turkish coffee with art and cuisine. The Turkish Coffee Truck is a unique initiative created in 2012 to promote the 500 year-old Turkish coffee culture and bridge cultures one coffee at a time. Visitors will receive a dose of adventure along with their freshly brewed free Turkish coffee and gourmet delights until September 28th. The Turkish Coffee Truck U.S. tour was launched in New York City on September 7th.
The Turkish Coffee Truck will be in major locations in Washington D.C. and invites everyone to discover Turkey’s world-renowned coffee culture. Over the course of two weeks, the truck will visit Washington DC, Virginia and Maryland to invite Americans to share the joys of Turkish coffee and explore a timeless journey to Istanbul, Turkey.
The non-profit cultural tour will feature Hasan Kale; a micro artist master who can turn coffee beans into micro paintings, Cenk Girginol, an award-winning gastronomy author, Ahmet Şerif İzgören; a renowned Turkish author, and Gizem Salcigil White, founder of Turkish Coffee Lady. Events along the tour include live art demonstrations and fun interactive sessions on Turkey’s 500-year old coffee ritual and its unique traditions. The upcoming Turkish Coffee Tour in September is organized by Turkish Coffee Lady with the support of American Turkish Association of DC.
“Coffee and coffee house culture spread from Istanbul in the 17th century to Europe and then to Americas. That culture has helped define our identities for centuries, and our dedicated team is eager to continue that tradition -- one coffee at a time,” said Turkish Coffee Lady Gizem Salcigil White, the founder and director of the project. “Turkish coffee is the world’s first coffee brewing method invented by Turks in the 16th century, and it is recognized by UNESCO’s World Heritage List as a cultural inheritance that was passed on from generation to generation.”
Sponsored by TROY, Turkey’s first national payment method and TURKISH TASTES, a brand established by Turkey Promotion Group for promoting the unique and worldwide popular Turkish food and drink products and implemented by Aegean Exporters’ Associations to the project, the award- winning Turkish Coffee Truck initiative has been building bridges through coffee conversations since 2012. Through this cultural diplomacy initiative, more than 20,000 people in the U.S., Europe, and Canada have learned about Turkish coffee culture. This one-of-a-kind cultural project made the headlines of international publications including The Washington Post, Washingtonian, and PRI/BBC to name a few. In May 2012, the non-profit project was honored by the U.S. Congress for fostering friendship between the Turkish and American people through their shared love of coffee. Other leading sponsors include Republic of Turkey Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi, Arzum Okka, Kütahya Porselen, Herrick Feinstein LLP, Roman USA, Saltzman & Evinch PLLC, and Turkish American National Steering Committee.
The Turkish Coffee Truck team will distribute samples of delicious, freshly roasted Turkish coffee, along with gourmet dry fruits and nuts and traditional sweets from Turkey. Visitors will also have the opportunity learn more about traveling to Turkey. The coffee truck will also participate in H Street Festival and 17th Annual Washington DC Turkish Festival organized by ATA-DC and concludes the tour at “Study Abroad & Global Citizenship Influencer Summit” in early October hosted by Hostelling International USA.
“Coffee is a global language and every cup has a unique story. After receiving incredible attention during our United States, Europe and Canada tours, we are excited to expand this community building initiative and share coffee conversations with our American friends. Our slogan of this tour is ‘Turkish Coffee: The Taste of Friendship for 500 years,’” said historian Göknur Akçadağ, who has been mentoring the non- profit project since 2009. Visitors are encouraged to share their story in their cups during the tour on social media by tagging @turkishcoffeetruck on Instagram, and Facebook at www.facebook.com/TurkishCoffeeTruck.

ABOUT THE TURKISH COFFEE TRUCK
The Turkish Coffee Truck was initiated in 2012 as an all-volunteer initiative to promote Turkish coffee culture and to engage people in “coffee conversations”. Between 2012-2016, a group of volunteers traveled to 5 major U.S. cities (Washington D.C. Baltimore, New York, New Haven, and Boston), to offer free Turkish coffee and foster friendships between two societies. The tour also visited world-class universities including Harvard, Yale and George Washington University to directly engage future world leaders. In 2013, the volunteer team traveled to Netherlands, Belgium and France to share their heritage with Europeans. In 2016, the project was launched in Toronto, Canada and visited popular locations such as Dundas Square, University of Toronto, and Nathan Philip Square. During these successful tours, more than twenty thousand people enjoyed Turkish coffee culture. The project received domestic and international media coverage, various awards as well as official recognition from the U.S. House of Representatives in May 2012. The project was mainly funded by donations from Turkey’s oldest coffee ground seller, Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi.

The project received domestic and international media coverage, various awards as well as official recognition from the U.S. House of Representatives in May 2012. The project was mainly funded by donations from Turkey’s oldest coffee ground seller, Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) A unique, 21st Century bronze figure cast from a 16th Century beeswax model authenticated as the work of Leonardo da Vinci. 28 cm x 23.5 cm x 13.35 cm.
On October 30th, a unique bronze sculpture by Leonardo da Vinci, will beauctioned at New York’s prestigious Pierre Hotel.
It is titled simply “Horse and Rider” (Cavallo e Cavaliere).The work is cast from a beeswax model hand-carved by Leonardo himself, circa 1508 according to Dr. Carlo Pedretti. Author of over sixty books on the life and work of Leonardo and the Armand Hammer Chair of Leonardo Studies at UCLA, Dr. Pedretti authenticated the statuette in 1985 and documented it in Leonardo Da Vinci In The Collection Of Her Majesty The Queen At Windsor Castle–Volume II–Horses And Other Animals,a three-volume tome prepared with art historian Sir Kenneth Clarke, and published in 1987. He believed Horse and Rider was a model for what was to have been a monumental statue of Leonardo's patron, the French Governor of Milan. Over the centuries, Leonardo’s beeswax model had suffered damage--including the loss of the rider’s hands and the left fore leg of the horse. Recognizing the fragile nature of the figure, a mold was created to preserve its integrity, and a single bronze was cast directly from the mold--ensuring Leonardo’s Horse and Rider would be memorialized in perpetuity. Most recently,Horse and Rider was exhibited at the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition at the Palazzo delle Stelline inMilan, Italy.Leonardo da Vinci’s Horse and Rider sculpture in bronze, along with the original mold, will be displayed at the Pierre Hotel in New York City for previewing. Prior to the auction additional viewings can be made by appointment.

TO RSVP CLICK BELOW
HERE
Artist Statement:
I pursue shapes and colors. My semi-abstract, expressionist portraits tell a story of whimsical spontaneity. Based on an underpainting my art begins to emerge as color and texture are added layer by layer. The landscapes pull the viewer into a world of color, light, and emotion. My body of work has developed and evolved over time, with much of the outcome being driven by creative impulses.
About Kelly:
Originally from Tennessee, Kelly Fischer has lived in Switzerland for the past thirty years. She maintains strong connections in both countries, spending equal time at her studios in Bern & Memphis. Her paintings have been featured at numerous galleries and exhibitions, including Art Basel Miami, the Austrian Biennale, and the Venice Biennale. Aside from art, Kelly has published eleven children's books and is the former founder and head of the English Montessori School of Bern.
