SUMMARY:The Anti-Eviction Mapping Project (lecture)
DESCRIPTION:THE ANTI-EVICTION MAPPING PROJECT AND OUR METHODOLOGIES \nManon Vergerio \nZoom \nEmail myamamura3524@gmail.com for login info \n  \nIn this talk\, critical urbanist Manon Vergerio will give a brief background on the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project (AEMP)\, a web-based interactive mapping project that personalizes eviction data through the evictees’ stories of struggle and resistance. She will discuss how the multimedia collective uses oral history and mapping for housing activism. Participants will listen to a few short clips from the AEMP’s oral history archive and reflect on them through a series of prompts as a way to learn about displacement\, housing\, and organizing. \nManon Vergerio is an organizer and a critical urbanist whose practice draws across disciplines to illuminate and organize around urban justice issues. Vergerio is a co-founder of the NYC chapter of the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project (AEMP).

SUMMARY:Art / Activism / Context / Surveillance (Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:This lecture\, held on Zoom\, traces the development of Beirne’s activist art and performance practice in relation to some precedents in modern art history. Email myamamura3524@gmail.com for registration information. \nThe artist will present selections from his work since the early ’70s that address political and sociological concerns. Also\, Beirne will discuss the genesis and implementation of Priority Seating\, his participatory work created for the UnHomeless NYC exhibition\, with special attention to surveillance. \nBill Beirne currently lives and works in New York City. For more than four decades\, Beirne’s conceptual art has examined public space\, communication\, interactivity\, and sociological concerns through public performances. In addition to exhibitions in the US and in Eastern and Western Europe\, he was commissioned by the Madison Square Park Conservancy’s public art series\, Madison Square Art. In his video installation and performance Madison Square Trapezoids\, Beirne\,  as “The Vigilant Groundsman\,” performed absurdist lawn maintenance tasks within the boundaries of live surveillance-monitored areas of the park.

SUMMARY:Upcycle\, Uplift (Artist Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:This is an artist workshop with Upcycle\, Uplift\, which proposes a utopian solution to the current housing crisis by developing a line of recycled clothing created in workshops and remodeled based on the needs of homeless people. The participatory project invites the public to engage in deep listening with homeless people\, opening themselves up to the complex issues that drive people to the street beyond the stereotypical assumptions. By designing and creating clothes that meet the needs of unhoused people\, Upcycle\, Uplift helps to restore dignity to those living on the street. Yasuda further tries to establish Upcycle\, Uplift as a clothing brand and discusses concepts with college students and faculty members for an alternative economic system that can distribute profits in more egalitarian ways.  \n  \nAbout Sachigusa Yasuda \nBorn and raised in Japan\, Yasuda moved to New York City in 2009 and has been creating artworks from the worldview of a woman and an ethnic minority.

SUMMARY:UnHomeless NYC
DESCRIPTION:7 March – 14 April\, 2022\nOpening March 9th 3-7pm (in person) \nOverview\nKingsborough Art Museum (KAM) is pleased to present UnHomeless NYC\, a group exhibition that brings together sixteen artists and artist groups who use participation\, activism\, and pedagogy as their media. Connecting students\, artists\, activists\, academicians\, and the public\, the show offers a forum to consider and better understand NYC’s housing crisis and think about our future as the city emerges from the pandemic in Spring 2021. \nBackground\nThe exhibition holds particular importance for Kingsborough; based on the 2018 #RealCollege survey\, out of the 22\,000 CUNY students\, 55% were housing insecure in the previous year\, and 14% were homeless. UnHomeless NYC was initially conceived to challenge the stigma of homelessness. Through artworks that highlight research\, statistics\, and activism\, the show will examine how the fundamental human right to housing has been eclipsed in this city and offering an opportunity to imagine a different future. \nArtwork\nThe first work in the exhibition\, Miguel Robels-Duran and Cohabitation Strategies’s (CohStra) twenty-four-minute documentary video\, Uneven Growth (2014)\, convincingly explains how neoliberalism has affected land use and changed people’s relation to housing in New York City\, especially after the 2008 financial crisis. The new landowners–the banks and hedge fund firms–manage their tenants as dots on a spreadsheet\, treating homes as commodities. This section also introduces examples of CohStra’s transformative urban design that suggests alternative possibilities for the future of our city. \nAcross from CohStra stands the show’s centerpiece\, a recreation of an installation from Martha Rosler’s If You Lived Here . . . originally exhibited in 1989. Rosler\, the long-time anti-homeless advocate and activist-artist\, invites contemporary local activists to use her work as their headquarters\, as other activists did in the work’s original installation. Another artwork in this section by critical urbanist Manon Vergerio is the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project (est. 2014)\, which provides the opportunity to view eviction data on a city map while listening to the recordings of the evictees’ personal stories. BFAMFAPh.D. an artists’ collective that bases its work in radical pedagogy\, will invite a group of KCC administrators and students to form a think tank with NYC housing activists that will seek solutions to the unique forms of housing and food insecurity that exist on campuses. \nMichael Rakowitz’s paraSITE workshop creates a portable inflatable shelter that galvanizes a do-it-yourself spirit and foregrounds marginalized voices for viewer participants. Bill Beirne’s Priority Seating (2017-) initiates change by asking gallery visitors to place the priority seating signs he created on public benches and other support structures to advocate for preferential seating for the homeless. Amplifying the messages of these seminal pieces\, the artist William Baronet will display in the gallery\, a selection of signs Baronet has been purchasing from homeless people for over three decades. Michael Corris will create a ‘zine\, Incidents on the Street: A Workbook\, based on the stories these signs reveal. \nCanadian artist Dominique Paul’s Median Income Dress (2015) contains LED lights that make visible the city’s rezoning and gentrification. Connected to the colors of online census-based income maps\, the dress changes to distinguish residents’ income levels as she walks through various parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan\, and engages the passersby in conversation about the changes they were witnessing in their neighborhood. Income and related issues of race also echo in Dread Scott’s two photographs from the 2016 series entitled On the Impossibility of Freedom in a Country Founded on Slavery and Genocide. In this series\, Scott places contemporary struggles for racial justice within the history of civil rights activism in the United States\, pointing to the foundation of inequality and calling for institutional change. \nCollaboration is a focus of the exhibition. Hope Sandrow and The Artists and Homeless Collaborative’s historical video\, Making Art\, Reclaiming Lives (1993)\, demonstrates the value of collective artmaking by documenting the creation of a mural by homeless women living at the NYC Park Avenue Shelter as they worked together with several New York artists. The show will also feature Sandrow’s Shelter News and Resumé project. The artist duo Susan Hoffman Fishman and Elena Kalman’s site-specific installation\, Fragmented Home: Kingsborough (2021)\, provides visitors the opportunity to manifest their ideas of home to create and collectively build a structure made of black parachute cord and 6” x 24” pieces of corrugated cardboard. As part of an outreach effort beyond the campus\, during the exhibition\, the artist Nancy Hwang\, in collaboration with chef Heidi Thomas\, will host eight extraordinary dining experiences for eight homeless people each time\, under Maya Lin’s Ghost Forest (2021) at Madison Square Park. At-a-glance Huang’s work makes us contemplate the overlapping issues of homelessness and ecology. \nUnHomeless NYC further proposes ecology and regenerative energy as alternative frames within which to reconsider the housing crisis. Considering the unique clothing needs of the homeless\, Sachigusa Yasuda will work with fashion-design students and others to reimagine modes of production and distribution with her anti-capitalist clothing line\, UpCycle\, UpLift. By altering recycled clothes to suit the requirements of those who live on the street\, Yasuda invites the public to envision alternative economic systems that are more equitable. Considering different models for habitation and community in the age of climate change\, Bibi Calderaro of The Institute for Wishful Thinking (est. 2008) will pose the questions: “What’s home? Whose home?” by hosting walks to various sites on the Kingsborough Campus–Urban Farm\, Beach\, and other locations–to consider how various other life forms make their homes in the environments that surround us. \nThe artists Maureen Connor and Tommy Mintz\, also of the Institute for Wishful Thinking\, will create a slide show that presents details about the exhibition and its events on campus-wide information monitors. The works and events both in and outside the gallery encourage visitors and students to apply the knowledge and insights learned through the arts and humanities to reconsider how they think about the housing insecurity that exists both on campus and in other Brooklyn neighborhoods. \nUnHomeless NYC is an experiment in community college teaching that connects the college with the local community. \nAccess\nThe exhibition will be in a hybrid form. The show and all events will be accessible through online after October 13th at: https://homelessnyc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/artists/ \nUrban Intervention\nDuring the exhibition\, there will be physical satellite events held in Manhattan and Queens. \nCOVID-19 Protocols\nWe will follow the CUNY Protocols for Spring 2021.

Show up on Saturday\, November 6th from 4-5:30pm for the last encounter of the Last Street End series. \nMusicians from the Experimental and Industrial worlds join to bring sound art and Butoh to the banks of the Canal\, with self-made instruments and discarded objects. \nWith Martin Bisi (producer Sonic Youth)\, Ego Sensation (White Hills)\, Bradford Reed\, Genevieve Fernworthy (Tidal Channel\, Billy Cancel)\, Lawry Zilmrah\, Jacquelyn Marie Shannon (Cookie Tongue). \nWhile the performance is taking place\, we invite participants to join in a communal declaration of the secession of the Last Street End from Gowanus (and thereby its rezone) by the creation of a found fabric trash flag which will be sewn collectively by all those who wish to add scrap\, found materials\, plants\, and thread to the (END) flag. The (END) flag will be raised at the conclusion of the performance to celebrate the autonomy of the people of the Last Street End\, before the encroaching CSO tank (and its steward\, the City of New York) erase this complex ecosystem and the living human and non-human beings who rely on it. \nThis event is the last of a series of four encounters that involve transforming an ecologically disturbed and contested public space through different kinds of “use.” Documentation produced by participants during / through each of the encounters will be integrated into a land use intervention library.

SUMMARY:Come Back Cities: a support group for Fathers with special needs children (first meeting)
DESCRIPTION:Come Back Cities: a support group for Fathers with special needs children is a safe space where Fathers could gather to share honest perspectives/experiences with each other; find fellowship and support with other Fathers raising special needs children; and participate in community art projects that honor the real experiences of Fathers with special needs children.  The goal is simple\, to create a space that works to empower Fathers in the lifelong process of raising our children with special needs.  In the Fall of 2021\, we will meet on a monthly basis via the Zoom video conferencing platform.  This will continue in the Winter/Spring of 2022 but we will also add more in-person community and art engagements where Fathers can come together.\n\nI am the Father of a 4 year old daughter who was diagnosed with Charge Syndrome and Deafblindness before she was 1.  Phoenix is my inspiration and I realize that I have a lot to open up about in raising a child with special needs.  I am extremely thankful for the community support from the New York Parent Association for Deafblind\, the Social Practice CUNY initiative and my MFA program at Brooklyn College – Performance & Interactive Media Arts.\n\nI am committed for life to my daughter\, my family and the collective empowerment of our families/communities.  Please consider joining me on Saturday\, Oct 16th\, 2021 @ 7:00pm est where Fathers can grab a beer or tea\, and talk!\n\nRSVP is required to ensure a safe space for all Fathers by emailing: jb.kilusan@gmail.com

SUMMARY:END (Future)
DESCRIPTION:Our collective hearts will not be alone; weedy plants will help us at low-tide. With the weedy plants\, we will create questions for the NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and members of the City Council Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises to consider as they plan for the Gowanus Canal CSO Retention Tank on Oh-4 site\, which bends west near the 4th street tuning basin. We will do this collectively through movement-oral listening facilitated by weedy plants\, andrea haenggi\, and Rachel Cole. We ask you to come to the last street end in Gowanus (2nd avenue and 5th street) on Oct 16th at 11:50am so you can hear the fullness of the edge at low tide. \nThis event is the second of a series of four encounters that involve transforming an ecologically disturbed and contested public space through different kinds of “use.” Documentation produced by participants during / through each of the encounters will be integrated into a land use intervention library.
