Company DescriptionWeeksville Heritage Center is an historic house museum and cultural center in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. We use preservation, education, arts, and civic engagement to examine, interrogate and explore the history of Weeksville, a pre-Civil War free Black community. Weeksville’s legacy of social and intellectual self-determination holds great meaning for the African Diaspora but has universal relevance at this precarious time in American history. As a community hub, WHC provides a physical and virtual convening space for the Black community. As a presenter of first-rate artistic programming and facilitator of thought leadership, we leverage our inspiring history to serve as a thought-center, hosting leading activists, artists, writers, educators, and community members as they explore the Black experience and the process of community-making. Through exhibitions, residencies, symposia, artistic partnerships and events, and research, we offer a space to grapple with contemporary social issues through the lens of our unique piece of American history. We also conduct conservation efforts by promoting oral history, genealogy, digital storytelling, and other forms of accessible historical research. Lastly, as an education space, we draw on our tactile connection to our history to educate, enrich and inspire generations to come.
