Performance | Love for New York’s Waterways: Stories from the Stoop


Inspired by the often overlooked experiences of African-American maritime workers, Love for NY’s Waterways: Stories from the Stoop is a Moth-style storytelling and open mic event that celebrates the legacy of the African-American water stewards of New York.  The Stoop Stories event aims to celebrate Juneteenth, while raising awareness about the Billion Oyster Project and highlighting the rich history of New York's waterfront. Stoop Stories revolves around the intertwining narratives of the New York waterfront, environmental activism, cultural heritage, and personal experiences. Through the diverse perspectives of our storytellers, we aim to weave together a tapestry of stories that illuminate the past, present, and future of our city's maritime landscape, celebrating its resilience and diversity. We ground this event in the experiences and perspectives of individuals of color and indigenous water stewards but welcome everyone to share stories about their relationship to NY waterways.  Through the power of storytelling, we seek to encourage more people to explore the maritime industry and view New York Harbor as a shared recreational space, fostering a sense of community and connection to our 'commons.'

Park Walk | Shoreline Stroll


The peninsula, which opened in 2023, is the largest stand-alone recreational space in the park with its 5.5 acres of incredible public green space. From a sandy shoreline beach with tide pools to a pine grove, pile field and salt marsh, it is also one of the most fascinating sites to learn about local ecology. You’ll have the chance to learn more about these fascinating ecosystems from the River Project team. Grab your binoculars and try to spot some of the shorebirds seen regularly dabbling in our salt marsh, or see if you can spot some of the resident hawks that use the light poles as a perch to find their next meal.

Dance Performance | whale fall reckoning: An Abyssal Underwater World


Choreographer mayfield brooks presents two works–whale fall abyss in the cargo hold of the Tall Ship Wavertree, calling up ghosts and ancestors from the intersecting histories of whalers and slave ships and whale fall reckoning. Using found objects, sound, light, movement and projection, brooks conjures an abyssal underwater world that transforms the formerly munitions storage warehouse into an imagined site of the decomposed whale. Both presentations are a culmination of brooks’ project Whale Fall, originally commissioned by Abrons Arts Center and virtually premiered as an experimental dance film in 2021 during the height of the Covid-19 epidemic. When Whale Fall (the film) premiered brooks wrote, “This project was born out of a desire to sit with grief and rage in a world that discards too much and consumes too much. As a result, the bodies of whales and the bodies of Black folk seem to have a kinship in how they have been both targeted, hunted and consumed since the transatlantic slave trade. I have also come to know that some slave ships were used as whaling vessels.” In this present moment of continued environmental destruction caused by war and accelerated global warming, brooks is asking, “What light reaches us? What darkness welcomes the reckoning?”
