  • Release

    Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club Boathouse 165 2nd St, Brooklyn, NY, United States

    Come witness and participate in Release, a temporary installation and informal movement session developed as part of a two-part workshop held at Coney Island Creek and Gowanus. Join us at the Dredgers Boat House to witness and explore: what gets collected and recorded when we connect to a place and the living things that occupy the place? What gets activated when these recordings are shared in a different space and time? How to move and make movements from these activations?
