SUMMARY:Gardening Angel: opening and walkthrough
DESCRIPTION:“Gardening Angel” is a site-specific sculpture designed for installation in Jackie Robinson Park\, representing growth and community prosperity. Standing approximately 58” tall\, it features a black with iridescent bronze glaze ceramic figure\, emphasizing positive change. Crafted with paper clay and stoneware\, supported by a concealed metal armature\, the sculpture depicts a life-sized figure with a waist-high opening serving as a vessel. The nuanced multi-toned bronze glazing process symbolizes resilience and growth\, while vibrant blue hydrangeas planted around the sculpture represent gratitude for a flourishing community. To engage visitors\, activities such as balloon flower performances will extend the sculpture’s message of growth\, prosperity\, and unity. \nOn May 2nd\, the official walkthrough will start at noon in Morningside Park with artist Coby Kennedy and Deputy Borough President Keisha Sutton-James. \nSPCUNY Artist: V (vera) Tineo\, 2023–24 Student Fellow \nWith support from: Harlem Sculpture Gardens\, Savona Bailey-McClain (Executive Director & Chief Curator) West Harlem Art Fund\, Queens College Ceramic Department\, NY Artist Equity Association and AHL Foundation

SUMMARY:LESSONS FOR SURVIVAL Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Fiction welcomes back American Book Award-winning author Emily Raboteau (The Professor’s Daughter\, Searching for Zion) to discuss her new highly-anticipated collection of essays\, Lessons of Survival: Mothering Against “the Apocalypse.” In this powerful work that is “as layered and magnificent as essayistic-writing gets” (Kiese Laymon\, author of Heavy)\, Raboteau reflects on the intersectional fights for environmental and racial justice through the lens of motherhood. Her book is a moving exploration of what it takes to raise children to thrive in a world of inequities\, without coming undone. Raboteau is joined by essayist Garnette Cadogan for a rich conversation on her work\, in which she will also share some photographs from the book. \nCo-sponsored by Orion Magazine and the Climate Museum. \nAfter the conversation\, Raboteau will sign books.

SUMMARY:A ProtoScore
DESCRIPTION:At the National Museum of Kenya\, Ford Hall \nA ProtoScore is a durational gathering of artists\, scientists and members of the public in Nairobi. \nThis is a mutually generative and creative process that fosters curiosity and connection. It is an experiment for scientists and artists to explore collaborations. It builds relational connections between artists and scientists through a non-hierarchical form of conversation\, where each person in the conversation has an equal voice. The conversation format was created together in Kenya between artists; James Muriuki\, Floor\, Jepkorir Rose and scientists; Hussein Abkallo\, Kelly Nakami and Peterkin Munywoki. \n  \nBiographies \nHussein Abkallo is a Biomedical Scientist working on broader applications of CRISPR/Cas technology and Synthetic biology in developing vaccines and establishing ultra-sensitive diagnostics. \nFloor Grootenhuis is a contemporary artist based in NY. Her performative practice is focused on invitation\, connection\, and identity.  \nPeterkin Munywoki is a Veterinary surgeon. He holds a BVM (2021) and an MSc in Veterinary Theriogenology (2023)\, both from the University of Nairobi. He is currently consulting for Zoetis Belgium SA\, a multinational pharmaceutical company. \nJames Muriuki\, is an artist who has primarily utilized lens-based media in his work. His practice revolves around the transition of society and the development of rapidly evolving urban spaces. \nJepkorir Rose is a curator working alongside artists and affiliating practices to create opportunities and spaces to encounter each other in areas of interest. \nNakami Wilkister is a vet/reproductive technology specialist in livestock reproduction\, genome editing\, veterinary science\, and stem cell culture. She also lectures at the University of Nairobi. \n  \nThis collaboration has been made possible by the support of Social Practice CUNY\, The Dr. Jayne Raper Lab at Hunter College New York\, Steve Kemp at ILRI\, and C& art space in Nairobi\, Kenya.

SUMMARY:Picturing the Constitution: Penumbra
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Sunday\, October 22\, 4-6pm\nOpen hours: Friday-Sunday 12-4pm or by appointment \nPenumbra (def. A partial shadow\, as in an eclipse\, between regions of complete shadow and complete illumination) is a project and installation that challenges the constitutionality of Dobbs v. Jackson\, a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court\, June 24\, 2022\, in which the Court held that the U.S. Constitution does not confer a right to abortion. Historically however\, Justices and Scholars have argued that the founding document includes a penumbra: a group of rights implied from other explicitly protected rights. The term gained attention in 1965\, when the Griswold v. Connecticut decision established a right to privacy based on the 1791 Bill of Rights and explicitly the First\, Fourth\, Fifth & Ninth Amendments\, in addition to substantive due process rights of the 14th Amendment. Penumbra seeks to expand upon work completed by the art collective: how to perform an abortion. \nWhen the Dobbs decision calls attention to the phrase ‘(not) deeply rooted in our history and tradition’ to explain why abortion was not a right granted in the Constitution\, we ask ‘whose history….whose tradition?’ The answer is abortion history is women’s history as we draw attention to the millennia-long legacy of women using herbs for abortion and contraception\, a ‘birthright’ that is part of a deeply hidden\, repressed\, and often destroyed global practice. Here we juxtapose selections from Dobbs\, placed on a background of images of groups of ‘men making serious decisions’ in relation to selections from Roe\, placed on a background of women taking care of other women\, all against a background of herbs used for abortion and contraception. \n  \nCOVID-19 Policies:\nBecause of the interactive nature of our exhibit\, face masks are required for all visitors over age 2 at all times during your visit to the Old Stone House. If you do not have a mask\, OSH will provide one. All OSH staff members are fully vaccinated.

SUMMARY:Echoes of Youth Sound Map Kickoff Party + Awards Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:We will gather outdoors on Sunday evening to reflect\, celebrate the audio stories shared on the map\, enjoy snacks\, and give out cash awards for the Most Historical\, Most Creative\, Most Chaotic and Most Touching submissions\, as decided by an esteemed jury. \nThe project itself will go live on the Echoes mobile application bright and early Saturday morning (June 3rd)\, so ideally you can visit the featured locations and hear their stories before this Sunday evening celebration. \nRSVP for free on Eventbrite to be notified when the location is selected in late May! An outdoor location in NYC will be strategically selected depending on submission locations. This will likely be a public park or community garden. \nAny donations will go toward a premium Echoes membership required to keep this project public all summer long! \nIt’s not too late to submit your own story! Anyone with memories in New York City from their youth can participate\, no audio production experience necessary. Deadline May 24!\nCheck out the details here. \nTHE PROJECT\nEchoes of Youth is a participatory art project created by artist Megan Hattie Stahl exploring youth experiences in the publicly accessible spaces of New York City. Audio submissions are combined to create an interactive\, walkable map of sounds and memories spanning generations and boroughs. \nHOW DOES IT WORK?\nParticipants submit short audio stories (1-5 minutes long) meant to be heard at a specific public location in New York City. This can be an intersection\, a park\, a coffee shop\, a subway station\, a church\, a school\, a beach\, a university\, a grocery store\, a bus stop… and more! Stories can be as simple as a voice memo or as complex as a multitrack production. When someone visits your story’s corresponding location\, you audio will play automatically through the Echoes geolocated sound app! \nWHO CAN PARTICIPATE?\nAnyone who is roughly between the ages of 15 and 24 (the United Nation’s definition of youth) or anyone who can create an audio story about a New York City memory or place from their youth. Folks in either category are encouraged to participate either separately or together; multigenerational entries can bring valuable historical complexity to the project! No audio production experience necessary. \nBIOS\nMegan Hattie Stahl (project director)\nMegan Hattie Stahl (she/her) is a documentary artist and educator based between Portland\, Oregon and New York City.

SUMMARY:Citation Needed Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Artist Ari Wolff and The 14th Street Y are thrilled to announce the debut of Citation Needed\, an experimental publishing initiative designed to support and distribute artist books made by young people. Joined by the authors and open to the public\, the book launch will be May 25th\, 5:00–6:30 pm\, on the rooftop of the 14th Street Y. The evening will feature 10+ original titles created by 3rd–5th graders\, authors meet-and-greet\, and interactive games. \nThe Citation Needed book launch is the culmination of a year-long collaboration between Ari Wolff and the 14th Street Y\, in partnership with Social Practice CUNY and Printed Matter / St Marks. Copies of students’ artist books will be on display and available for purchase at Printed Matter / St Marks. A set of the books will also have a permanent home in the Artist Book Collection at the Center for Book Arts\, as the first works by children to be added to the collection. \n“The most incredible part of this process has been watching our workspace come together; we started with three students\, now we are at thirteen\,” said Ari Wolff. “They’ve taught each other how to use the typewriters and copier and how to problem solve when they get stuck. I feel really lucky to be included in this creative process.” \nThis project was incubated as an after school workspace\, in which young people were invited to experiment with visual poetry\, xerography\, typewriting\, and book arts. Embracing a process of chance\, many of the works created in this class were inspired through accidents. After many months of creation\, editing\, printing\, and binding\, the authors and illustrators are excited to share their work. These artist books are an opportunity to honor young people’s inner worlds\, autonomy\, and ability to create meaningful work that challenges oppressive systems\, demands of coherence\, and the status quo. \n### \nAbout Ari Wolff\nAri Wolff is a multidisciplinary artist\, writer\, and educator whose practice explores language as a visual object. Ari’s work proposes alternate modes of reading and seeing through mark-making\, xerography\, sculpture\, text\, and book arts. For the last decade\, Ari has worked with schools and community-based organizations to create process-based projects that meet at the intersection of art and literacy. Ari’s work has appeared at Longwood Gallery\, Plaxall Gallery\, Collar Works\, the Foundry\, and in POETRY Magazine\, among other places. Ari holds an MFA in Studio Art and Social Practice program from Queens College. \nAbout The 14th Street Y\nThe 14th Street Y is a vibrant community center grounded in the belief that contemporary Jewish sensibilities can be a source of inspiration\, connection\, and learning for the individuals and families we serve throughout New York City’s East Village and beyond.
