They are modern masters of artmaking who weave their stories using paint, paper, metal, stone, photography, glass, wood, textiles, cloth to deliver powerful messages of hope and pride. The diversity of art makers in this collective continue to push the visual boundaries of storytelling with a commitment to uplift the global community of the African diaspora and serve as a building block for the future of Black art makers. This exhibition is a tribute to these trailblazers here in Harlem where they had an undeniable and lasting impact on the culture and our lives.

Family Constellation In-Person Workshop by Patricia Belda in New York, Manhattan Date : Friday, May 16, 2025 Time : 1:30am - 5:30pm Language : English Venue : 134 West 29th St , 2nd Floor, NY Contribution: Early bird registration: US $78.00. Expires by May 10 . Regular registration: US 96.00 Senior & Student 65+ : US $48.00 Free : Choose your contribution value. Family Constellation is a practical and philosophical approach to life that engages all members of the group in a phenomenological manner. Participants, regardless of their financial contribution, may experience the benefits of this practice. Whether one is observing, listening, representing, posing an issue, or is an experienced professional in the field, everyone involved feels the impact of a Family Constellation session. Topics: Couples, Parents and Children, Addictions, Illnesses, Farewells and Free Themes What is a Family Constellation Workshop ? Our "workshops" or seminars are events where Family Constellations takes place. Every participant "constellates" in a workshop, either by bringing an individual question to the group, by participating in group dynamics, by being a representative in the experiences, or simply by observing - everyone benefits as long they are fully present. A Family Constellation Workshop is an opportunity to participate in practical and face-to-face group experiences. This is not a course or training session, which requires years of practical and theoretical learning and does not end by earning some certificates. Depending on the circumstances, but not necessarily, Patricia Belda, the facilitator, may elaborate on some of the theories of what is a Family Constellation. Such theories are introduced occasionally to help broaden individual awareness about life and support the personal growth of participants. Who is it for? ANYONE looking for change, growth, fulfillment, health, success, and joy of living will benefit regardless of age, nationality, gender, religion, profession, etc. Also, practitioners, therapists, and medical helpers may work on their issues. The right time to participate will present itself to each individual. What is Family Constellation? I n brief, it is a holistic path for healing and personal growth. Family Constellation is a new way to access knowledge through a philosophical, practical approach to life that involves phenomenology. It can mistakenly be confused with religion, psychotherapy, esotericism, and other methods or techniques, however, it is a path, an introduction, and transition to a new level of consciousness. Originally called "Familienstellen", today it is a new science in constant development. Also called Systemic Constellation, Family Constellation was discovered and founded by the ex-Catholic missionary, educator, theologian, psychotherapist, and philosopher Bert Hellinger. He was born in 1925 in Germany and died on September 19, 2019. Bert Hellinger developed Family Constellation from: empirical observations; constant meditation; practical public actions, from which thousands of people were able to experience the effects of their understandings both on themselves and on their personal and collective relationships.​ The work has evolved since 1980 and in the early 90s, the Family Constellation started to be universally recognized. Since then, it has expanded to the areas of Health, Education, Justice, and Organizations. The work is based on three principles of life, which Hellinger called Orders of Love. They are: Belonging: the right for everyone to belong to a system Hierarchy: order of arrival into a system Balance: between giving and taking among the members of this system​ The Orders of Love function as law and are as ancient and comparable to the Law of Gravity. These laws act on us, regardless of volition, opinion, belief, or knowledge. When these orders are violated by someone in the family, compensations arise and usually manifest themselves on members of later generations. These compensations arise in the form of “incurable” illnesses, permanent pain, fatalities, failures in life, serious conflicts in relationships, among many others. These diseases manifest themselves to: include members who have been excluded balance exchanges among family members restore the flow of interrupted love perpetuate the group In a Constellation, people who know nothing about a client are chosen to represent family members. While in this field, they feel exactly like the person they represent, whether they are alive or dead. Thanks to Family Constellations the individual can become aware of: where the essential entanglement is how the Orders of Love can be respected the possibility of restoring the love and order that nourishes your system the steps that may be taken, which will lead to a solution to the issue that imprisoned, and that one was not previously aware of​. Cancellation Policy Cancellation by the client, for any reason, must be submitted by email 7 days before the event. Payments may be refunded discounting a 10% processing fee of the amount paid. after 7 days prior to the event, there is no refund.

Join us at Cleary Gottlieb for an evening exploring how these self-directed AI agents are poised to transform the practice and business of law. We'll begin with a 10-minute primer from an AI expert to demystify agentic AI and establish a common vocabulary. Then, our distinguished panel of legal technologists, practitioners, and innovators will dive deep into the practical implications: What tasks can these systems handle today? What are the ethical and regulatory considerations? How might autonomous AI reshape the delivery of legal services? This isn't about hype—it's about understanding the real capabilities, limitations, and opportunities of AI systems that can act independently to support legal work.
