SUMMARY:Sunk Shore: Understanding Climate Change\, Embodying Shorelines
DESCRIPTION:Works on Water Workshop Series\nSaturday\, September 27 | 1-3pm\nat The Arts Center at Governors Island\, Studio A4 (Upper Level)\nFree Admission | RSVP Required\n \n\nWhat do you think your shoreline will look like in the year 2100?\nWhat role will climate change play in shaping that future? \nCarolyn Hall and Clarinda Mac Low of Sunk Shore invite you to participate in an interactive workshop where we playfully explore our own specific shorelines and speculate about what that shoreline may look like 75 years from now. In this two hour workshop Hall and Mac Low will lead participants through the Sunk Shore methodology they use to create their shoreline and climate change based artworks which includes: local history\, embodied knowledge of place\, discussing climate change predictions\, participating in fun exercises and imaginings\, and building a group vision based on each person’s expectations\, fears\, and hopes for the future of their shorelines and homes. This workshop is open to participants ages 15 and up. \nSunk Shore is Hall and Mac Low’s approach to making climate change data local\, relatable\, and tangible so together we can plan for a future that we want to see happen. sunkshore.com \nARTIST BIO\nSunk Shore is a multidisciplinary art action and social engagement created by dancer/marine ecologist Carolyn Hall and multidisciplinary artist/microbiologist Clarinda Mac Low. With Sunk Shore we want to help people feel and relate to climate data so that it becomes personal and visceral. Sunk Shore started out as a physical walking tour into the climate changed future that takes place along specific shorelines and has expanded from there.  \n\nThe Works on Water 2025 Triennial is a multi-sited exhibition and series of public art interventions made on\, in\, and with urban bodies of water\, created in response to our global climate crisis. Participate in a series of workshops led by Works on Water Triennial artists\, inspired by bodies of water and NYC waterways. The Works on Water 2025 Triennial exhibition will be on view in Upper and Lower Galleries of The Arts Center starting August 28 through October 26\, open Saturdays and Sundays\, 12-6pm. \n  \n\nWorks on Water is an experimental organization and triennial exhibition dedicated to artworks\, performances\, conversations\, workshops and site-specific experiences that explore diverse artistic investigation of water in the urban environment. We seek to strengthen and nourish the community of artists working on and with bodies of water and to provide a platform to increase awareness of artists and organizations working on and with the waterways. \nMade possible with support from the Cultural Development Fund\, Invoking the Pause\, exhibiting artists\, and Works on Water’s partner organizations.

SUMMARY:Performing Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Works on Water Workshop Series\nSaturday\, September 6 | 1pm & 2pm\nat The Arts Center at Governors Island\, Studio A4 (Upper Level)\nFree Admission | RSVP Required\n \n\n90% of NYC’s water comes from rural communities in the Catskills\, 150 miles north of the City. The relationship between these seemingly disparate places is brokered by land use regulation\, public policy\, and miles of infrastructure—but these connections are practically invisible to NYC residents. Participants will create a “human diagram” of NYC’s water supply system\, forming the connections between reservoirs\, aqueducts and water tunnels with their bodies\, and re-inscribing the connections between upstate and urban communities. Props will be provided; be prepared to make some noise! \nThe workshop is geared towards adults\, but kids ages 10 and up are welcome.  \n\nThe Works on Water 2025 Triennial is a multi-sited exhibition and series of public art interventions made on\, in\, and with urban bodies of water\, created in response to our global climate crisis. Participate in a series of workshops led by Works on Water Triennial artists\, inspired by bodies of water and NYC waterways. The Works on Water 2025 Triennial exhibition will be on view in Upper and Lower Galleries of The Arts Center starting August 28 through October 26\, open Saturdays and Sundays\, 12-6pm. \n\nLize Mogel is an interdisciplinary artist and counter-cartographer. She creates maps and mappings that bring the politics of place to the surface. Her site-specific work reflects the complicated\, human (and sometimes non-human) experience within a place\, and engages people in the myriad potentials of that place. Her current work is focused on water infrastructure and watershed ecosystems; and how natural systems\, environmental policy\, and social inequities intersect.  \nWorks on Water is an experimental organization and triennial exhibition dedicated to artworks\, performances\, conversations\, workshops and site-specific experiences that explore diverse artistic investigation of water in the urban environment. We seek to strengthen and nourish the community of artists working on and with bodies of water and to provide a platform to increase awareness of artists and organizations working on and with the waterways. \nMade possible with support from the Cultural Development Fund\, Invoking the Pause\, exhibiting artists\, and Works on Water’s partner organizations.

SUMMARY:Outdoor Installation: Maison Millefleurs
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2025 River To River festival\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) is pleased to announce Maison Millefleurs\, an outdoor installation by artist duo Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky on view from August 2 to September 21at Robert F. Wagner Park\, Battery Park City. \nBased on the format of a community garden\, the installation is a jewel box of a greenhouse filled with an overgrown garden of life-sized paper flowers\, each illuminated by programmed LED lights. Inspired by traditional floral still life paintings depicting flowers that bloom in various parts of the world in different seasons\, the installation presents the dream-like coming together of its creators\, who worked on this project at different times and in different spaces\, in the form of a single tangled garden. The flowers of Maison Millefleurs were made by many hands\, including those of the artists and of the public\, during the House of a Thousand Flowers workshop series hosted by LMCC as part of the 2025 River To River Festival. \nMaison Millefleurs builds on the duo’s practice of bringing sculptural still life into being through communal craftmaking. As a sculpture made of ephemeral materials such as paper\, which is dispersed at its conclusion\,  Maison Millefleurs dramatizes the process of its own coming into and out of existence. \n\n\n“Maison Millefleurs sits as an eccentric presence at the edge of Manhattan’s towers. Built by the labour of strangers\, it is a florid dream of something beautiful that is shared\, if only briefly. We are so grateful for the incredible support of Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) and Battery Park City Authority\, who made such an extended\, community-based project possible ” – Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky\n\n\nThe installation will conclude with a Paper Flower Giveaway & Workshop on Saturday\, September 21\, 7-9pm. At this culminating event\, the public will be invited to participate in a paper flower-making workshop and select\, directly from the installation\, an assortment of reusable\, LED-lit handmade flowers to keep\, giving Maison Millefleurs new life as its flowers are dispersed throughout the city. Click here to learn more about the closing night event. \n\n\nRhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky\, based in New York and Toronto respectively\, have worked collaboratively since 2004.

SUMMARY:whale fall abyss – mayfield brooks
DESCRIPTION:Accompanied by electronic cellist\, Dorothy Carlos\, and performer Camilo Restrepo \nJune 19-22\, 7pm\nTall Ship Wavertree\nat the South Street Seaport Museum\nFREE (Reservation Requested) \nAccessibility: Please note that visiting Wavertree includes climbing up a few stairs\, walking up an angled gangway\, and then down a few stairs onto the deck. Access to the lower decks is by stairs; access to the upper deck is by steep ladder-like stairs. This site is not wheelchair accessible. \nChoreographer mayfield brooks presents two works–whale fall abyss in the cargo hold of the Tall Ship Wavertree\, calling up ghosts and ancestors from the intersecting histories of whalers and slave ships and whale fall reckoning in the Upper Gallery of The Arts Center at Governors Island. Using found objects\, sound\, light\, movement and projection\, brooks conjures an abyssal underwater world that transforms the formerly munitions storage warehouse into an imagined site of the decomposed whale. \nBoth presentations are a culmination of brooks’ project Whale Fall\, originally commissioned by Abrons Arts Center and virtually premiered as an experimental dance film in 2021 during the height of the Covid-19 epidemic. When Whale Fall (the film) premiered brooks wrote\, “This project was born out of a desire to sit with grief and rage in a world that discards too much and consumes too much. As a result\, the bodies of whales and the bodies of Black folk seem to have a kinship in how they have been both targeted\, hunted and consumed since the transatlantic slave trade. I have also come to know that some slave ships were used as whaling vessels.” In this present moment of continued environmental destruction caused by war and accelerated global warming\, brooks is asking\, “What light reaches us? What darkness welcomes the reckoning?”  \nAfter four years of rigorous research and numerous iterations\, brooks’s ever evolving project Whale Fall continues to decompose itself. This iteration lives as a call to the wild parts of ourselves\, a denouement to complacent attitudes towards death and decay. How are we entangled in the ruse of romance with our compulsion to consume and our dependence on war machines? Why do we continue to kill? How can the whale fall reorient us to face our own mortality with more compassion?  brooks considers the whale fall as a reckoning. They imagine their ancestor’s bones mingling with whale bones beckoning us to embrace interspecies care and relation beyond the human. Perhaps we can save the whales\, ourselves\, and the planet if we simply decompose. \nPerformers: mayfield brooks\, performer; Dorothy Carlos\, electric cellist; Camilo Restrepo\, performer \nmayfield brooks is part of LMCC’s Extended Life Dance Development Program supported\, in part\, by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \nPresented in partnership with the South Street Seaport Museum. \nAll River To River Festival events tickets go live on May 21! \nLearn more here!

SUMMARY:whale fall abyss – mayfield brooks
DESCRIPTION:Accompanied by electronic cellist\, Dorothy Carlos\, and performer Camilo Restrepo \nJune 19-22\, 7pm\nTall Ship Wavertree\nat the South Street Seaport Museum\nFREE (Reservation Requested) \nAccessibility: Please note that visiting Wavertree includes climbing up a few stairs\, walking up an angled gangway\, and then down a few stairs onto the deck. Access to the lower decks is by stairs; access to the upper deck is by steep ladder-like stairs. This site is not wheelchair accessible. \nChoreographer mayfield brooks presents two works–whale fall abyss in the cargo hold of the Tall Ship Wavertree\, calling up ghosts and ancestors from the intersecting histories of whalers and slave ships and whale fall reckoning in the Upper Gallery of The Arts Center at Governors Island. Using found objects\, sound\, light\, movement and projection\, brooks conjures an abyssal underwater world that transforms the formerly munitions storage warehouse into an imagined site of the decomposed whale. \nBoth presentations are a culmination of brooks’ project Whale Fall\, originally commissioned by Abrons Arts Center and virtually premiered as an experimental dance film in 2021 during the height of the Covid-19 epidemic. When Whale Fall (the film) premiered brooks wrote\, “This project was born out of a desire to sit with grief and rage in a world that discards too much and consumes too much. As a result\, the bodies of whales and the bodies of Black folk seem to have a kinship in how they have been both targeted\, hunted and consumed since the transatlantic slave trade. I have also come to know that some slave ships were used as whaling vessels.” In this present moment of continued environmental destruction caused by war and accelerated global warming\, brooks is asking\, “What light reaches us? What darkness welcomes the reckoning?”  \nAfter four years of rigorous research and numerous iterations\, brooks’s ever evolving project Whale Fall continues to decompose itself. This iteration lives as a call to the wild parts of ourselves\, a denouement to complacent attitudes towards death and decay. How are we entangled in the ruse of romance with our compulsion to consume and our dependence on war machines? Why do we continue to kill? How can the whale fall reorient us to face our own mortality with more compassion?  brooks considers the whale fall as a reckoning. They imagine their ancestor’s bones mingling with whale bones beckoning us to embrace interspecies care and relation beyond the human.

Additional accessibility information is available on the Trust for Governors Island website. \nInspired by the often overlooked experiences of African-American maritime workers – Love for NY’s Waterways: Stories from the Stoop is a Moth-style storytelling and open mic event that celebrates the legacy of the African-American water stewards of New York.  \nThe Stoop Stories event aims to celebrate Juneteenth\, while raising awareness about the Billion Oyster Project and highlighting the rich history of New York’s waterfront.
