SUMMARY:(END) Secession: An Invitation
DESCRIPTION:The Autonomous People of the Last Street End Make Music and Construct a Trash Flag \nA call to all autonomous people and living things! Embrace the radical possibility that for 90 minutes we can enjoy total freedom on 2nd avenue and 5th street in Gowanus. 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:(Un)block Party
DESCRIPTION:Join Interference Archive and the weird art people who hang out at the last street end in Gowanus for an (Un)block Party on October 23rd at 3pm at 2nd Avenue and 5th Street. During this encounter\, we’ll be breaking out the mobile archive bike\, printmaking designs made by our friends at Shoestring Press\, swaying our hips to afternoon-noise-level music mixed by DJ j.lu\, and socializing with living humans and non-humans. Bring your friends and your kids and your dog and your best dance moves. Festive attire encouraged. \nThis event is the third 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. \nThis project is partially supported by a grant from Social Practice CUNY\, an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-supported initiative.

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.
