This is a special invitation for the Social Practice CUNY (SPCUNY) network!

Your attendance is requested at two sound installations organized as part of the Jamaica Forum for Public Art Otherwise, a 2025-2026 SPCUNY project at York College in Jamaica, Queens.

Both events share work from Sounding Data Justice, a collaborative project with Eastern Queens Alliance, Inc. funded by a 2024-2025 American Council for Learned Societies Digital Justice Seed Grant. This experimental project works with data on air quality and aircraft noise collected by EQA to advocate for a sustainable Southeast Queens!

To assist with scheduling the sound installations—the first on September 18, the second in October—please complete the form at this link.

‘The Jamaica Forum for Public Art Otherwise’ is a Southeast Queens-based center for artistic research in public art at York College CUNY in Jamaica, Queens. The SPCUNY fellowship supports its manifestation by conjoining initiatives with the Southeast Queens Artist Alliance, Eastern Queens Alliance, the Black American Heritage Foundation Music History Archive, and Black Spectrum Theatre. The project serves these communities with events to engage them with each other, thus enacting the center.

Accessibility: York College is wheelchair accessible. Contact ebovino@york.cuny.edu with accessibility requirements for the King Manor Museum in October.
