Description
(Date changed to May 3 due to April 26 forecast)
Join us for an immersive afternoon with artist Tiffany Baker, creator of The Dear Neighbor Project — a multi-site mural installation that turns the voices of Gowanus residents into public art. Her murals illustrate residents’ experiences with flooding in the neighborhood and stories of community support.
On Saturday, April 26, Tiffany leads a guided mural viewing, followed by an art-making workshop at Van Alen Institute. You'll hear excerpts from community interviews and respond through drawing, writing, and discussion. Explore personal themes of water, place, housing, and belonging, and add your voice to the evolving story of the neighborhood.
Open to ages 12 and up. No artistic experience required.
The Dear Neighbor Project is produced by Van Alen Institute.
