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. Megan is an MFA Candidate in Integrated Media Arts at Hunter College and a 2022-23 Social Practice CUNY Actionist Fellow. She also teaches in Hunter’s Film & Media department. Her work uses video\, audio\, and new media to explore culture and communities past and present\, physical and virtual. She is interested in musical histories and realities\, and relationships between sound\, place\, memory\, and collectivity. Megan loves digging into history and activating the archives\, creating unique audience experiences that are both individual and collective in nature. \nChloë Bass (jury)\nChloë Bass is an artist who loves listening to sounds. She also serves as the co-director of Social Practice CUNY\, an educational network that amplifies the collective power of socially engaged artists\, scholars\, and advocates throughout the City University of New York’s rich tapestry of faculty\, staff\, and students working for social justice. \nColine Chevrin (jury)\nColine Chevrin (The Graduate Center) is fourth-year Ph.D. student in Geography at the department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. After a Master’s Degree in Territorial Policies for Sustainable Development\, Coline specialized in territorial and development studies. She was an assistant professor and researcher in Argentina at the Universidad Nacional de Rosario from 2013 to 2017. Her research focuses on the impact of the soybean extractivist model on the restructuring of the city of Rosario\, Argentina. She analyses how the extractive frontier is materialized in the different spaces of the city\, how communities organize to resist enclosure and displacement and to secure space to create beautiful lives. She is particularly interested in Latin American situated knowledge\, decolonial praxis\, Global South and feminist geographies. Coline has been experimenting visualizing her research through documentary photography and alternative methods and has incorporated working with artists as part of her praxis. She is an adjunct at the Geography Department at Hunter College. \nMeryl Jones (jury)\nMeryl Jones (they/them) is a filmmaker\, sound artist\, and actor. They came to filmmaking for its capacity to intermingle and complicate multiple self-expressions. Their work blurs the boundaries between narrative\, experimental\, documentary\, and home video. And they especially love the process of sound and how it can be in dissonance to the image! They have directed three short films; Goldilocks\, The Love Spell\, and Dom screened at various festivals including Oberhausen Kurzfilmtage\, Newfest\, and online for The New Yorker Magazine and No Budge. They are a co-founder of Sweet Potato Productions and sometimes educator at Brooklyn-based analogue film-collective Mono No Aware.”

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.

SUMMARY:Practicing Connection IRL // rooted sharing\, listening and making
DESCRIPTION:This workshop provides an introduction to some of the methods used in social practice art\, an approach that emphasizes the potential of art to support positive social change. In this workshop\, we will engage in practicing ‘connection’ to create an experience of community and care through listening\, sharing and making. \nWe will perform a listening score\, ‘this is a piece\,’ that invites us to consider what we need as creative agents. We will then guide participants in making an artist book or zine\, which are tools that social practice artists often use as jumping off points for dialogue\, tools for celebration\, and objects for collective reflection. Sharing\, listening and making are methods that we use in our own practice and we hope that by working through these methods together\, these tools may support the work that matters most to you. \nWorkshop leads: \nCristina Ferrigno is an interdisciplinary artist and educator based in Queens\, NY. Cristina’s work explores identity and belonging\, through lived experiences\, photographs\, zines\, and an array of socially-engaged local and international projects. Her work has appeared at the Queens Museum\, La Bodega Gallery\, Local Project Art Space\, AS220 Gallery\, and New Women Space\, among others. Cristina completed her BFA at Maryland Institute College of Art and recently completed her MFA with a focus on Social Practice at Queens College. She currently serves as a teaching artist with the Queens Museum\, The Mosaic Project\, and Sunnyside Arts. \nFloor Grootenhuis is a New York based Dutch-Kenyan artist currently in residence at the Raper Lab in the Hunter College Biology department and a fellow with Social Practice CUNY. She has an MFA in Social Practice from Queens College\, CUNY\, was a More Art fellow 2017 and in the NYFA Immigrant Artist Mentorship Program 2018/19. She received grants from the City Artist Corps of New York\, the Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation\, the Vilcek Foundation\, and Queens Art Intervention. She exhibited at Brooklyn Public Library\, Queens Museum\, Godwin-Ternbach Museum\, Five Myles Gallery in New York\, and the Centre de Cultura Contemporània in Barcelona. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis program is presented in part with the 2023 Northeastern Public Humanities Consortium.

SUMMARY:Situationist Films by Guy Debord\, Ernie Larsen\, and Sherry Millner
DESCRIPTION:Screening series presents “Situationist Film: Now and Then\,  Then and Now”\, with films by Guy Debord\, Sherry Millner & Ernie Larsen. Millner and Larsen will join us for a discussion following the screening. \n\n  \nGuy Debord’s On the Passage of a Few Persons Through a Fairly Short Unity of Time\, 20 minutes\, 1959 \n“…a few people put into practice a systematic questioning of all the works and diversions of a society\, a total critique of its notion of happiness…”. \n“The point is to understand what has been done and all that remains to be done\, not to add more ruins to the old world of spectacles and memories.” \n  \nPartial Critique of Separation\, 19 minutes\, 2008-2012 \nThe first re-make of a Situationist film\, the two-screen 19-minute PARTIAL Critique of Separation. Rigorously but playfully applying detournement\, the indispensable situationist principle of political/aesthetic intervention\, to Debord’s film Critique of Separation (1961)\, Millner and Larsen claim to re-situate the undimmed energies of its intransigent and impassioned argument. Juxtaposing the here and now with the there and then (New York 2008 with Paris 1961) PARTIAL Critique of Separation proposes that the material conditions that separate each from all and self from self and that every moment militate against the imperative to resist persist. \n  \nDISASTER\, 30 minutes\, 1976 \nIn 1975/76 Millner produced the two-screen super-8 Disaster\, the first avowedly situationist film made in the U.S. Screen left features the spectacle of imagery from Seventies Hollywood blockbuster disaster films shot clandestinely in first-run movie theaters. Screen right depicts the actual site of disaster: everyday life. This cheapskate decidedly feminist cinemascope animates the gulf between the two sites of catastrophe. Is it this massive disjunction between the spectacle and the quotidian—a unrelenting deployment of humiliations\, routines\, disciplines\, distractions\, and fantasies—that reconciles all of us to a regimen of passive and delayed gratification? \n  \nGraven Images\, 5 minutes\, 2010 \nThe sacred icon of the U.S. red\, white\, and blue literally becomes a burning issue. As flames engulf flag after flag\, the audio-montage connects patriotism to hysterical blindness. Is there a fundamental(ist) relation between the religious injunction against graven images and the iconic status of the U.S. American flag? Who is burning all those flags? \n  \nIn January we published a podcast interview with the artists\, “Anarchist Cinema and the Counterculture w/ Sherry Millner & Ernie Larsen”: https://www.patreon.com/posts/61776128 \n  \nSherry Millner makes films\, videos\, photo-texts\, book\, curatorial and other research projects\, exhibited in festivals\, museums\, cultural centers\, squats\, windows\, storefronts and on walls. She co-created the collaborative video project State of Emergency (2003-2008). The video essay How Do Animals and Plants Live? was screened this year at the Social Justice Film Festival in Chennai\, India\, at the Small Axe Festival in Great Britain\, and ChangeFest in Atlanta\, Georgia. She co-curated Disruptive Film\, a two volume DVD set of experimental short-form radical films and videos. She loves postcards. \n  \nAs an exponent of oppositional culture\, Ernie Larsen is a novelist\, filmmaker\, and media critic. He has collaborated with Sherry Millner on photo-text projects and many films including Rock the Cradle on the December ’09 uprising in Greece and How Do Animals and Plants Live?\, on the demolition of a self-organized migrant squat in Thessaloniki\, and 41 Shots\, the first film to skewer the racist ‘broken windows’ theory of policing that underpinned the notorious murder of Amadou Diallo in New York City. He co-curated Disruptive Film: Everyday Resistance to Power\, two DVD sets of short-form experimental political films from 26 countries. His most recent book is The Trial Before the Trial (Autonomedia\, 2018). \n\n\n  \nWoodbine is an experimental hub in Ridgewood\, Queens for developing the skills\, practices\, and tools needed to build autonomy.
