Part of Imagined Futures: This is Your City Climate Week Program and City-Wide Scavenger Hunt

Join us to close out Climate Week with intention as we gather to honor place and possibility. on Governors `Island. With an optional ferry talk to get us there with elder and longtime activist Jk Canepa and youth organizer Anna Tsomo with youth from 6th St Community Climate Action group.

Governors island is full of complicated history. Once stewarded by the Lenape peoples, it was sold to the Dutch in the context of a violent colonial take-over, and housed the military for years as a place of strategic defense. For years it was a fallow as anywhere in NY until the slow artistic and cultural residencies made inroads to a future of massive development. In the layer cake of complication, there is much to honor, grieve and hold for the whole future of our city and world.

In collaboration with the American Indian Community House and Climate Imaginarium, we'll be joined by Ellie Irons and Anne Percoco of Next Epoch Seed Library and held by Noelle Ghoussaini of SacredSpace to lead us in the closing ritual.

All are welcome!

Day of Action: Brooklyn Seed Freedom

Join us to align with the Global Movement for Seed Freedom on Swale, a first year floating food forest docked at Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. We will gather in a day of action to share seeds, resources and practice seed saving methods to strengthen the seed network in the New York City bioregion. Featuring seeds saved from Swale, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Next Epoch Seed Library, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, The Old Stone House, Pioneer Works and YOU!

Bring seeds to share, and a few envelopes to harvest seeds into!

This event will launch an open-source seed library that will be based at Pioneer Works art center in Red Hook.

Swale is a collaborative floating food project built on a 130-foot by 40-foot floating platform that contains an edible forest garden. Functioning as both a sculpture and a tool, the Swale project provides free healthy food at the intersection of public art and service, reinforcing water as a commons and working towards a regenerative public food system.

Pioneer Works is a non-profit foundation in Red Hook, New York City that fosters multidisciplinary creativity in the arts and sciences.
