EPA Summit

The Environmental Performance Agency (EPA) is an artist collective founded in 2017 and named in response to the proposed defunding of the U.S. Environmental Protection .Our aim is to shift thinking around the terms environment, performance, and agency – using artistic, social, and embodied / kinesthetic practices to advocate for the agency of all living performers co-creating our environment, specifically through the lens of spontaneous urban plants, native or migrant. The current collective includes andrea haenggi, Catherine Grau, Christopher Kennedy, Ellie Irons and the spontaneous urban plants of 1067 Pacific Street, Brooklyn. http://www.environmentalperformanceagency.com/

The Environmental Performance Agency (EPA)

The EPA Summit is a cross-disciplinary gathering bringing together artists, thinkers, scientists and others in the fields of urban ecology, art, dance, movement and performance to explore the possibility of embodied research, and the value of urban weeds as collaborators, guides and mentors.
The Summit is a public day-long event. We invite you for the duration of the gathering, but if you cannot dedicate the whole day, RSVP either for the morning or the afternoon. (Rain or shine!)
