VAULT|Gowanus : Landscape/Value
November 22 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
KAJE is pleased to present VAULT|Gowanus : Landscape/Value, a site-responsive performance commission taking place Saturday, November 22nd at 2 19th Street at 5pm. The performance is programmed as part of a cross-disciplinary presentation by VAULT, an expansive collaboration led by artists Kevin Hernández Rosa, Arien Wilkerson, and Marisa Williamson.
The VAULT project has drawn nearly a decade of inspiration from the shuttered John C. Clark Elementary School in Hartford, CT, which closed in 2015 after dangerous levels of carcinogenic PCBs were discovered in its construction materials. With the abandoned school standing to this day as a stark monument to systemic neglect, racism, classism, and the enduring impact of toxic infrastructure on Black and Brown communities, VAULT moves across varied sites of environmental contention to confront the hidden histories, and ongoing structural violence that persists in the build geographies we inhabit. Drawing on performance, mark-making, and participatory programming, VAULT embodies a vision for sustaining creative, cultural, and spiritual ecologies in the face of fascist, racist, and environmental adversities.
