SUMMARY:Desire Lines and Daylighting : work by photographer Nathan Kensinger
DESCRIPTION:Desire Lines and Daylighting : work by photographer Nathan Kensinger\nSaturday October 11\, 1-5pm (Opening reception: 1pm to 3pm)\nSaturday & Sunday October 18 & 19\, 1-5pm (Gowanus open studios)\nSaturday October 25\, 1-5pm (Closing)\nCurated by Pam Wong \nDesire Lines and Daylighting is a new body of work by photographer Nathan Kensinger\, looking at informal access points along three of the city’s larger waterways – the Flushing Creek\, Harlem River\, and Newtown Creek – and documenting work being done by community groups to open up public access along the waterfront. These photographs explore abandoned train lines and dead end streets\, where local residents have created unique green spaces and shoreline pathways\, and where future ideas are being developed to create more formalized parks and trails\, and to dig up buried sections of these waterways\, daylighting their hidden routes. \nAlthough New York City has 520 miles of coastline and dozens of waterfront parks\, for many New Yorkers\, finding access to the nearest waterway is nearly impossible. Hundreds of thousands of residents in waterfront neighborhoods have been cut off from the coastline by train lines\, highways\, and industry. To get to the water\, the best route is often an informal trail\, blazed by neighborhood residents. Sometimes called desire lines\, these unofficial pathways are hidden behind fences and on dead-end streets.\n\nThese photographs were created in 2024 and 2025\, while Nathan was the Photo Urbanism Fellow at the Design Trust For Public Space. During his yearlong fellowship\, he focused on issues of waterfront equity\, and the work of local waterfront organizations\, including the Guardians of Flushing Bay\, Harlem River Coalition\, Newtown Creek Alliance\, NYC H2O\, and South Bronx Unite. Nathan is an artist and journalist based in Brooklyn\, who has created a series of photo essays\, documentary films\, public art projects\, and video installations over the past 20 years\, looking at New York City’s changing coastlines.Links: \n\n\nNathan’s Website: www.nathankensinger.com\nPhoto Urbanism Website: https://photourbanism.org/fellow/nathan-kensinger/

SUMMARY:UPDATE: Spooky Shenanigans on the Gowanus Canal - Halloween Parade
DESCRIPTION:Shenanigans will be on-shore tonight as a result of yesterday’s storm. \nHello Intrepid Gowanus Paddler\, \nWe have a different kind of “Boo!” for this Halloween afternoon. Unfortunately\, yesterday’s massive rainstorm — and the subsequent discharge of sewage into the Canal — and today’s extreme wind conditions mean that we are offically deciding that today’s conditions are TOO SCARY to host on-water shenanigans tonight. \nThe good news is: The Ukulele Cabaret and Gowanus Dredgers music community friends will still be hosting a fantastic show at the Boathouse at 7pm. \nWe’d also still love to see you in your Gowanusy costume for some shore-side fun. We’ll set up some DIY photo booth fun and games for those who want to come by anytime after 5pm. Help decorate the boathouse\, hang out with friends\, and crack open a seltzer or a beer to close out the week and the 2025 paddling season. \nLast note: Tomorrow\, we’ll be rolling up our sleeves all day at the Bunker for a season send off and work day. Join us to help with season-end chores\, some fun painting projects\, beginner-friendly dock maintenance\, and maybe a sunset fire pit after the work is done. We’re scheduled to be out there between 10am and 4pm.

SUMMARY:Brooklyn Folk Festival: Banjo Toss Competition
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, as part of the Brooklyn Folk Festival \, contestants gather on the banks of the fetid Gowanus Canal to see who can throw a banjo the farthest in the – BANJO TOSS: BANJO THROWING COMPETITION! The special “throwing banjo”\, attached to a rope is tossed into the canal\, a federally designate Super Fund site. The marked rope pays out\, showing how far the banjo has been tossed. It is then hauled back in for the next throw. \nThe Brooklyn Folk Festival is presented each year by the Jalopy Theatre & School of Music\, a grassroots Red Hook\, Brooklyn community space that is a music venue\, music school\, and record label.  We are excited to support the Banjo Toss event activity so please stop by and join the fun! \nWe are told the best preparation for this competition is to attend a show at the Brooklyn Folk Festival so purchase tickets now before they are sold out.  While bearded men and women are growing in popularity as more people live\, work and play in our Gowanus neighborhood\, we are assured by the organizers that beards are optional. Our amazing collection of competitors reinforces the Dredgers theme of inclusion so stop by to cheer our competitors or compete in the toss as well!

SUMMARY:VAULT|Gowanus : Landscape/Value
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\n \nThe 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. \n \nVAULT|Gowanus : Landscape/Value\n\nSaturday\, November 22nd at 2 19th Street \nThe performance will begin at 5pm

SUMMARY:Unheard-of + Dredgers present videogame Funk band Discocactus
DESCRIPTION:Cultural Ecologies Series: Unheard-of and Discocactus \nDate: May 23rd\, 2026\, 7PM Canoe Launch\, 7:30PM Music \nLocation: Gowanus Dredgers Bunker\, 2 19th St\, Brooklyn\, NY 11232 \nCanoe Seats: $15 donation to Dredgers\, Shore seating Free \n \nJoin Unheard-of Ensemble\, the Dredgers\, and special guests video game jazz-funk ensemble Discocactus to open the season! Unheard-of opens the show with new premieres written for them by Annika Socolofsky and Discocactus’s own keyboardist Ben Wallace. Unheard-of also performs new video game music arrangements from Ben and Unheard-of’s violinist Matheus Souza. Discocactus closes out the night performing some of their hits joined by members of Unheard-of! \nDiscocactus Bio: \nDiscoCactus is a collective of composers\, performers\, and arrangers. They play video game music. Sort of. They use video game soundtracks as a jumping off point for a party\, a nonstop display of kinetic musicianship that blends contemporary art music with dozens of pop styles\, steeped in the language of the Internet. \nEstablished in 2014\, the band’s core is made of six game audio professionals that serve as the primary arrangers and performing mainstays. But\, like a frightened cat\, Discocactus can grow up to four times its normal size when threatened (or for big projects). \nEach of DiscoCactus’s members is a world-class performer in their own right. Their members have studied at some of the world’s top conservatories\, written music for the BBC National Orchestra of Wales\, toured the world with Video Games Live\, and more. You’ve heard some of them in games like Celeste\, Destiny 2\, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI\, and Final Fantasy XV. You’ve heard SEVERAL of them in Anew: The Distant Light and Mortal Kombat 11. \nWhen it’s time to play as DiscoCactus\, these six performers form like Voltron\, bringing all of their experience and power down on one glorious purpose: To make you shake your ass. Some of us have debuted operas. Some of us study Brazilian pop. Some of us improvise. All of us combine our unique perspectives to make a show that transcends genre and transforms the music we play in fresh\, exciting ways. You don’t have to know a thing about video game music to enjoy DiscoCactus. You don’t even have to know a thing about music! You just need to strap in for a rollicking\, avant-garde nerd carnival. \n—— \nThis performance takes place on the Gowanus Canal\, from the 19th St. Bunker location. The audience can immerse themselves in the experience on the Gowanus\, enjoying the program from on land or on water. Limited boat access and on-water support are provided by The Gowanus Dredgers. Attendees may arrive in their own vessels\, as well. \nWeather may postpone event. \n—— \nThis program is supported\, in part\, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. \nUnheard-of’s Cultural Ecologies Series is a recipient of a 2026 Chamber Music America Artistic Projects grant. The Artistic Projects program is administered by Chamber Music America and made possible with funding from the Howard Gilman Foundation. \nUnheard-of was supported by New Music USA’s Organization Fund in 2025-26. \nUnheard-of’s performances are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. \nWeather may postpone event or move it to 165 2nd Street
