Latino Cuisine At El Cofre

Enjoy a tour and community-based artmaking activity with artists Steven and William Ladd inside their exhibition at the Yard Work Gallery, Transforming America through Art: A Vision for Brooklyn’s Community. Participants will learn from the artists about their tactile and textile-based work exploring identity, representation, memory, and belonging before jumping into a highly energized and interactive artmaking project inspired by their “scrollathon” project. These sessions are designed for industry professionals working at and around the Brooklyn Navy Yard and open to anyone who is 18 years or older.

Inspired by Hedgework, one of the Yard’s 2024 public art installations, join co-creator Mark Shepard for an interactive eco data workshop for Climate Week NYC. Mark Shepard will take participants inside the data collected by the hedge and discuss the skills needed to document and interpret data that can be applied through varied avenues from policymaking to art creation. The culminating activity will include co-designing a speculative data collection system, which will support further conversation about ways that professionals working within sustainability and the green economy can leverage data to drive decision-making.
