SUMMARY:KUMUKUTIKUTITAP: PAROL-PAINTING WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a joyful\, hands-on workshop led by artist Maria Arenas\, where we’ll paint Capiz parols—traditional Filipino lanterns that sparkle with light\, resilience\, and community. This event is not only a chance to learn and create together\, but also a celebration of Filipino American heritage and the beloved ‘ber’ months tradition that stretches from September through December. \n📅 Date & Time: Saturday\, October 4 at 2:00 PM\n📍 Location: MoMA PS1\, Classroom (Homeroom Gallery\, 1st floor near the café)\n💲 Admission: FREE — all materials and refreshments provided\n📝 Registration: Pre-registration is required. Please register if you plan to attend—space is limited. Once registered\, you’ll receive instructions for entering the museum. \nParols—star-shaped lanterns—are a cherished symbol of the holiday season in the Philippines\, representing light\, hope\, and togetherness. Many parols are traditionally crafted from Capiz shells\, which glow beautifully in both architecture and handicrafts. Yet\, with growing global demand\, the harvesting of Capiz has become more intensive\, raising concerns about environmental impacts and local economies. \nThis workshop is the second phase of Kumikutikutitap (“to sparkle”)\, a project designed to illuminate the Little Manila neighborhood with parols. Alongside creating art\, participants will also learn about the deeper ecological and cultural stories behind Capiz. The workshop will spark dialogue about sustainability\, climate justice\, and how creative practice can connect to care for both people and place. \nNo art experience is necessary\, and materials will be provided. Ages 12+ are welcome. Please wear clothing suitable for painting\, as spills and splashes may happen. Because parols are delicate\, the activity is best suited for those comfortable working with fine materials. Light Filipino refreshments will be served. \nPresented with love + collaboration by MoMA PS1\, Little Manila Queens Bayanihan Arts\, the UKAI Initiative\, Social Practice CUNY\, and the Coalition for Asian American Children & Families. \n  \nAccessibility\nEvent will follow host’s protocol here.

SUMMARY:Blue Lightning Ghost Train: Inpatient Program 1
DESCRIPTION:@CPR DOUBLE FEATURE\nUnder the Hood: Fiducial Romance by geo blake\nBlue Lightning Ghost Train: Inpatient Program 1 by Kerosene Jones\nCPR – Center for Performance Research\nSaturday\, May 10 at 7:00 PM\nTickets $0-$25\, pay what you can. \nJoin us Saturday\, May 10 for a double feature of new performance works by geo blake and Kerosene Jones presented at CPR – Center for Performance Research\, for the artists’ MFA thesis projects in the Performance and Interactive Media Arts (PIMA) Program at Brooklyn College. Proceeds go to Bluestockings Cooperative\, who will be providing Fentanyl and Xylazine testing strips on-site to attendees. \nThrough an interplay of live performance and mediated fragments\, Under the Hood: Fiducial Romance\, by geo blake featuring Alanna Archibald\, examines the intimacy embedded in economies of care\, trust\, and extraction. Merging movement\, voice\, transducers\, and projected imagery\, and drawing from the iconography of the automobile as both a site of fetishization and labor\, Under the Hood engages with themes of objectification\, autonomy\, and the blurred lines between maintenance and possession. \nBlue Lightning Ghost Train: Inpatient Program 1 by Kerosene Jones is the first phase of an experimental song\, video\, and performance cycle using archival materials to explore queer responses to harm reduction\, particularly in regards to the ongoing opioid crisis\, and drawing from Jones’s personal experiences with opioid addiction. The development of the Blue Lightning Ghost Train series has received support from New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA)\, and a CUNY Social Practice Fellowship\, and features mix engineering by Bassel Al-Rahim. \nTickets can be purchased here!
