MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
Amid neighborhood change, Gowanus community leaders, artists and public housing residents are using arts and culture as a tool to organize and propel their voices. This Making Gowanus initiative has included the Gowanus All-Arts Forum, a 10-week long, multi-generational cultural platform, led by local artist Imani Gayle Gillison.
Culminating from the forum and community conversations comes MAKING GOWANUS: THEATER OF THE LIBERATED, a social justice performance & exhibit, on Wed, August 30, 7-9pm at BRIC, 647 Fulton Street, Brooklyn! The program is free and open to the public! All ages are welcome! It will feature the all-female Gowanus Wildcats Drill Team, who have been performing since 1970, and include artists from across NYC. Seats are limited. First come, first served.
