🌟 Discovering Heritage: Sion Papi Exhibition by Anne Fernandez 🌟

Join us at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum for the extended viewing of Sion Papi by Anne Fernandez, running through Friday, August 15th! 🗓️

Anne Fernandez, a talented Dominican-American filmmaker and multimedia artist based in Uptown, has been honored as the recipient of the 2025 Open Call for Art focused on immigrant history, culture, and experiences for her powerful submission, Sion Papi. 🎨

Sion Papi is an animated documentary that chronicles Anne's profound journey to return her father's ashes to his homeland—a place she hasn’t visited in sixteen years. As she navigates this unfamiliar territory, Anne embarks on a personal exploration to uncover the story of her father's life while he resided there. 🌎💔

This breathtaking film presents a personal essay through the art of stop-motion animation, offering an intimate reflection on themes of intergenerational storytelling, reconnection, and healing. ✨

The exhibition includes a screening of Sion Papi along with insights into Anne Fernandez’s creative process in crafting this poignant film. 🎥
