Urban U is a CUNY-TV magazine show about CUNY students, faculty, alumni, and programs. The stories highlight the quality and rewards of a CUNY education, one that enables people to achieve great things. As the world’s largest urban university with 24 campuses spread across New York City’s five boroughs, CUNY is as rich and diverse as the City itself. With a history of over 100 years, the university scope of Urban U stories is immense.
Urban U will inform, inspire and engage viewers by reporting on the relevant happenings within the CUNY system, but also by exploring the achievements of its body of students, faculty and alumni.
In this episode, Urban U checks out the "Generative Histories" Exhibit at Spitzer School of Architecture, showcasing the work of the Place, Memory & Culture Incubator
Philadelphia-born saxophonist Antoine Roney has been a distinctive voice in jazz for over four decades. After studying with Jackie McLean at the Hartt School of Music, he worked with a long line of greats including Clifford Jordan, Donald Byrd, Rashied Ali, Arthur Taylor, Freddie Hubbard, Elvin Jones, and his late brother, Wallace Roney. An accomplished bandleader with several albums to his name, he is also the father of rising jazz star Kojo Roney, who often features in his trio.
The Place, Memory & Culture Incubator was fortunate to host Franco (the Great) Gaskin at the Spitzer School of Architecture!
The Harlem artist, known for his 125th street storefront gate paintings spanning decades, shares his work and legacy.
Franco was one of the community partners for the Place Memory & Culture Incubator during the Spring 2024 “Generative Harlem Histories” Studio coordinated by Professor and Co-Director of the PMCI Jerome Haferd alongside co-faculties Gerardo Ciprian, Nina Cooke John, nia Love, and Chat Travieso.
This lecture was moderated by the PMCI’s PI and Co-Director Jerome Haferd in conversation with Franco Gaskin and Community Engagement Specialist Anthony Carrión.
