SUMMARY:Unmonument Brooklyn: City Refuge
DESCRIPTION:On August 8-10\, 2024\,  Black Reconstruction Collective presents Unmonument Brooklyn: City Refuge with Weeksville Heritage Center. This is the second iteration of the Unmonument traveling installation\, an architectural project centering a nomadic sculpture conceived as an ‘exquisite corpse’ exercise\, meant to refuse traditional ideas of monuments and inspire collective action. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConceived as a means to reimagine possibilities for the emancipation for the African Diaspora\, Unmonument memorializes the Liberators of Black America – Harriet Tubman\, Nat Turner\, Toussaint Louverture – and the Self-Liberated communities found throughout the Americas – Ambrosio\, Fort Mose\, The Great Dismal Swamp. Challenging the concept of monuments and their inherent myths of power\, permanence\, and collective experience\, the Unmonument sculpture appears almost as a piece of scaffolding or construction equipment. Flexible\, unprecious\, and movable\, the sculpture is inherently and intentionally unspectacular – it is an infrastructure for recognizing the community that surrounds it\, a beacon to celebrate\, to gather\, and to come together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday August 8th: Sacred Haven / 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm  \n\n\n\nFilm Screening and Intimate Conversation on Oasis and Self Liberated Communities \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday August 9th: Aural Meadow / 12:00pm – 4:00pm \n\n\n\nOpen source library / Sound Odyssey \n\n\n\n“Read on the Grass While Meditating on Black Self Determinism” w/ Black Discourse \n\n\n\n3:30 – 4:30 pm Sunset Sound bath with Kia Islam \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday August 10th: Exodus Oasis Party / 4:00 pm -7:00 pm  \n\n\n\nSunset Celebration w/ sets by DJ Kendollaz \, DJ DadaCozmic \, DJ Elise  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWeeksville Green Farmers & Community Market will be open from 12:00pm – 5:00pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event includes the launch of Full Duration: Ceremonial Procession\, an augmented reality sculptural experience by BRC founder Olalekan Jeyifous. The installation is the fourth iteration of Olalekan Jeyifous’ “Protopian” Retrofuturist series exploring the potential of harmonizing reconstituted technological detritus with ecological stewardship through narratives of imagined fugitive Black communities throughout Brooklyn\, the Hudson Valley\, and Upstate New York. Each iteration of this collection of works (which has been on view in various iterations at MoMA\, PioneerWorks\, and Art Omi) is a reflection on resistance\, resilience\, and restoration\, drawing inspiration from the Maroon communities of the Americas and the Caribbean.

SUMMARY:Picturing an Abundant Queer Future
DESCRIPTION:The American LGBTQ+ Museum\, alongside Sara Elise\, welcome you to the historic Weeksville Heritage Center for a celebration of Queer life\, as we collectively co-create a future historical photo archive of present-day Queer NYC\, making our own images that depict what it looks like for our community to rest\, enjoy ourselves\, and play together. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’ve all seen and studied images of our Queer family at rallies and protests\, fighting and striving for our hard-won rights. And it seems we hear of and experience more tragedy each day\, reminding us that there is always more work to be done for all of us to feel safe and be free. And while our history and our struggle should not be undermined or erased\, this is not the full picture of who we are as Queer people in community together. Where are representations of our joy and celebration? Where are representations of our rest and softness. \n\n\n\nHow can new images of us resting\, playing\, and posing with our loved ones reflect a more complete picture of who we are and how we tenderly create community together\, in the midst of pain and struggle? \n\n\n\nThe day is framed by the prompts\, “What does your rest look like? What does your play look like?” — helping us all to ask ourselves questions that\, particularly as members of marginalized communities\, we don’t often hear or give ourselves permission to consider. \n\n\n\nAfter the photography component\, guests will learn more about the vision and inspiration behind the event before diving into a dynamic panel\, featuring photographer Lola Flash\, photographer Naima Green\, and co-founder of BLK MKT Vintage Kiyanna Handy\, about the importance of queer history and being in charge of our own narratives\, led by The American LGBTQ+ Museum. Guests will then be encouraged to participate in a “Summer Camp”-themed field game led by Sara Elise. \n\n\n\nThroughout the day\, guests are encourage to reflect on: \n\n\n\n\nThe importance of archiving for queer history\n\n\n\nHow can we create a future archive of queer history that we feel is actually representative of us?\n\n\n\nWhat does it look like for us to create the realistic and reflective imagery of who we are; to be the narrators in our stories versus just observing what is being told of us?\n\n\n\nHow do we visually create the history we want to be remembered by? How do we amplify historically-silenced histories?\n\n\n\nWhat does it look like for us to be in control of our own archiving?\n\n\n\nHow do we positively manipulate or influence future history?\n\n\n\n\nThere will be DJ sets from iconic queer DJ’s Boston Chery and Adair throughout the day; snacks by @HarvestandRevel Catering; food by @EatDearHenry; and signed copies of A Recipe for More: Ingredients for a Life of Abundance and Ease available for purchase. \n\n\n\nParticipants can sign up for a timed slot to pose with artist + photographer Khaleb Brooks as an add-on to your ticket. Once the project is complete\, all photos will live in an online archive representing what it means to be Queer and in New York at this moment. \n\n\n\nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n\n\n\n11:30AM: Doors open at Weeksville Heritage Center \n\n\n\n12:00-2:00PM: Participants arrive for their timed photo slots. Photo participants are encouraged to bring their own props that represent their family\, heritage\, and culture\, or pose with some of the historical objects provided by BLK MKT Vintage. While waiting for their appointments\, guests can delight in the provided snacks and set up their blankets to enjoy a DJ set on The Meadow by DJ Boston Chery. \n\n\n\n2:00PM: Dear Henry is available vending delicious lunch options to guests on The North Lawn. Get a meal\, hydrate\, and rest before the panel begins. \n\n\n\n2:30PM: Join Sara Elise in learning more about the vision behind the event\, and in welcoming The American LGBTQ+ Museum’s Director of Programs and Partnerships\, Suhaly Bautista-Carolina\, who will be moderating a panel featuring Lola Flash\, Naima Green\, and Kiyanna Handy\, discussing what it looks like to create realistic and reflective imagery of our communities\, to be the architects of future historical photo archives\, and how to be the narrator of our own stories versus just observing what is being told about us. The panelists will also be discussing the importance of amplifying historically-silenced histories\, the difference between restorative and transformative history\, and how we can gather together to re-imagine and thus re-create a future history for ourselves that more accurately represents who we are as a community. \n\n\n\n3:15PM: Sara Elise will share some prompts for consideration for the remainder of the day\, while guests are encouraged to rest and eat. \n\n\n\n3:30PM: Participate in a group “Summer Camp”-themed field game on The North Lawn. \n\n\n\n4:30-6:00PM: Hangout\, rest on the lawn\, dance\, and enjoy some summer beats by DJ Adair.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Inheritance/SHACK
DESCRIPTION:What does inheritance mean to you?  \n\n\n\nSpend the eve of Juneteenth with us as we celebrate the opening of   \n\n\n\nInheritance/SHACK\,  a socially engaged collaborative art project by artist Walis Johnson. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInspired by Beverly Buchanan’s iconic vernacular shack sculptures\, “Inheritance/SHACK” brings together thirteen Brooklyn community members who have learned carpentry to design\, build\, and install shack-like sculptures. These creations explore themes of inheritance\, cultural preservation\, and the significance of African American spaces. \n\n\n\nLight bites and refreshments will be served from 6 to 7 pm. The artist talk\, followed by a community Q&A and screening\, will begin at 7 pm. \n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibition: \n\n\n\nInheritance/SHACK invites you to reflect on the meaning of inheritance. Drawing from the works of Beverly Buchanan this project explores how we\, as Black people\, build on the inheritances of the past\, embrace the present\, and nurture spaces of care\, creativity\, and transformational possibility. \n\n\n\nJohnson’s past projects have engaged New York City residents in dialogues about race\, property\, and history\, using art as a catalyst for storytelling and community reflection.

SUMMARY:Homage 5: Life After Death
DESCRIPTION:BROOKLYN STAND UP! \n\n\n\nStep into the world of Brooklyn’s finest with Homage 5: Life After Death\, a new workshop production by acclaimed playwright Shaun Neblett. Inspired by the legendary Notorious B.I.G.’s iconic album of the same name\, this production is a nod to the spirit and grit of Biggie’s music. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we journey through the streets of Brooklyn alongside five young black men navigating the complexities of life in their twenties. Centered around a barbershop owned by the enigmatic Freddie Bratcher\, tensions rise as rumors swirl about the potential sale of the business\, testing loyalties and friendships to the limit. \n\n\n\nInfused with Biggie’s timeless lyrics and themes\, Homage 5 immerses audiences in a world where the echoes of “Ten Crack Commandments” reverberate with ominous truth\, and where the mantra “Sky’s the Limit” serves as both a beacon of hope and a stark reminder of harsh realities. But Homage 5 isn’t just about paying tribute to Biggie’s music; it’s about capturing the essence of his storytelling and the raw emotion behind his words. From the Notorious Thugs prowling the streets to supernatural scenes that delve into themes of vulnerability and mortality\, this production weaves together a truly unforgettable experience. \n\n\n\nNeblett’s production is not merely a reflection but a powerful reimagining of hip-hop’s impact on society\, identity\, and art\, bringing the beats and rhymes of Brooklyn’s streets to the theatrical stage. \n\n\n\nShows on Friday\, May 24 & Saturday\, May 25.  \n\n\n\nTickets are free with RSVP.  \n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE \n\n\n\n6pm: Doors open; 90s hip-hop set by DJ Sean Malcolm\, Light refreshments \n\n\n\n8pm: Show begins.
