between wave and water

Experience Overview:

Step into a time-traveling journey where fragments of ancestral memory guide you through layers of history and present-day realities. This immersive experience begins at Joseph Rodman Drake Park, an important site that holds the echoes of those who came before us. From there, we will traverse through Hunts Point, witnessing the collision of past and present as we make our way to Hunts Point Landing.

Throughout this journey, we will co-create a space to honor ancestral legacies and envision liberated futures. The performance will be a communal exploration of memory, identity, and hope, grounded in the rich history of the land we walk upon.

Walk Overview: Our journey begins at Joseph Rodman Drake Park & Enslaved African Burial Ground. The experience continues for two more blocks outside of the park before boarding a bus for a short ride. This transition will lead us to Hunts Point Landing for the finale. The performance is expected to be approximately 75-90 minutes.

This is an outdoor offering. Due to the nature of the work, please consider the following suggestions:

• Standing & Walking: This experience involves standing, walking, and a short bus ride. Please wear comfortable shoes to ensure you can fully enjoy the journey.
• Stay Hydrated & Protected: We encourage you to bring a water bottle to keep hydrated throughout the event. Sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are recommended to protect yourself from the sun.
• Comfort Items: Feel free to bring items for your comfort, such as handheld fans or backpack chairs to sit on during stops. You may also want to bring snacks to keep your energy up.
• Weather Preparedness: Dress appropriately for the weather. The event will proceed rain or shine, so a lightweight rain jacket/poncho or umbrella might be useful.
• Self-Care: Your well-being is our priority. Take care of yourself throughout the experience, and don’t hesitate to reach out to event staff if you need assistance.
