Embodied Archives (Walking Session)
BRIC Arts Media
647 Fulton St, Brooklyn, NY 11217
Led by Shanna Sabio with GrowHouse
The past, present, and future are woven into each of us. As we approach 2025, marking 400 years since the occupation of Lenapehoking (New Amsterdam/New York), this history walk invites us to journey through time, reflecting on the hidden histories of Indigenous people, enslaved and free people of African descent, Europeans and plant species who lived in Brooklyn. Together, we’ll hear these stories, and create street altars around Downtown Brooklyn, using art and making as tools to collaboratively invoke a future where we coexist in harmony with our environment and one another.
GrowHouse is a community design and development cooperative that uses the intersections between art and technology, history and healing, global citizenship, and cooperative economics to create flourishing, equitable, and connected communities. We empower Black people and our allies to collectively design, acquire, steward, occupy, and preserve Black spaces.
