"It ain't where ya from, it's where ya at; but not like that"
I’m participating in a panel discussion this Sunday, details below.
An afternoon of discussion and performance organized by Devin Kenny
Sunday, December 13th, 2015
3 PM
With Andrea Arrubla, Bearcat, Taja Cheek, Angelina Dreem, Jesse Hlebo, Conor Messinger, Joygill Moriah and Tygapaw.
Devin Kenny moderates a panel discussion centered upon the intersections of gentrification, education, cultural production and community building for subcultures, microcommunities, and the under-served. In a city that historically brings together people of all backgrounds but is also the site of rapid gentrification and displacement, how do artists, educators, and other cultural producers initiate and sustain alternative spaces and projects that retain their specific intent and agency?
Kenny is joined in the panel by artist and sonic curator Tygapaw, who organizes Fake Accent and Shottas; artist and organizer of Heat Ritual, Jesse Hlebo; founder of digital art collaboratory, POWRPLNT, Angelina Dreem; poet and co-organizer of Hero Systems and the Sbarro Chica nomadic poetry series, Conor Messinger; curator and event organizer of Happenings Contemporary Joygill Moriah; artist and Facilities Manager & Student Liaison for BHQFU, Andrea Arrubla; and Throw Vision and event organizer, Taja Cheek.
DJ set by Bearcat follows the discussion.
This event is presented in conjunction with Greater New York.
