PLEASE NOTE: We have two launch locations, the Boathouse at 165 2nd St. / off Bond St. and the Bunker at the end of 19th St. off of 3rd Ave. The starting place for each activity is listed with the event listing. In general, guided tours leave from 19th St. Walk-Up paddling may be at either location, depending on the current status of the work in the canal. It takes about 35 minutes to walk between the locations and about 10 minutes to drive. PLEASE CHECK the location to ensure you are not late to a timed tour. Trips can not be joined once the group leaves the dock.
[ Rain 30 min. Prior to start time may cancel event and dates +30 days in the future are subject to change ]

Join Unheard-of Ensemble and the Gowanus Dredgers for an expanded version of Ginger Flavored Bubblegum. The work explores transcendence from grief by honoring poet, filmmaker, and artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha - who was murdered only a few days after the publication of her poetic autobiography, "Dictee." Using selections of poetry from Dictee, this expanded version explores grief using Unheard-of Ensemble, electronics, and videography by Phong Tran (who some might recognize from his electronic set last season).
