This Friday May 10th at 7pm please join us at 99 Canal Street for “effigy: a shifting landscape” a performance piece by @raymondpinto A continuation of research Raymond conducted in Nigeria, this piece will prioritize soil and the earth for its intrinsic qualities of holding memory to think about displaced communities and narrative tremors of the terrain. Holding New York as a geographic focal point, the seizure of land in 1853 from the prominent Black community, Seneca Village by the state to build Central Park has been a key point of departure for us here. We look forward to your eyes and your presence this Friday.
