Things Fall Apart: Meena Hasan at the Old Stone House

On View: May 2, 2025 – July 6, 2025

In collaboration with Dylan Yeats and Imran Khan


This site-specific installation draws inspiration from the fact that British commander Charles Cornwallis, who occupied the Old Stone House during the Battle of Brooklyn in 1776, later defeated one of the fiercest opponents of colonialism in India, Tipu Sultan, the Tiger of Mysore. Hasan’s paintings wrestle with the contradictions of history, memory, and image – asking us to piece ourselves together within the various layers of disruption, connection, destruction, and creation we have inherited.

The Old Stone House: Witness to War

An Exhibit Exploring Conflict from Kieft’s War through the Battle of Brooklyn and the Occupation, 1643-1783

Old Stone House: Witness to War is a self-directed exhibit that takes visitors on a journey from the Lenape village of Marechkawick through Dutch colonization and the Revolutionary War era in Brooklyn.  Ten themed areas allow visitors to explore this history and consider how war and displacement impacted the community, what choices people had to make at the time, battle strategies, and what makes these issues relevant in today’s world.
