CLOSING: Artists Alliance Inc. Presents Javier Castro: Open Wounds (Dec 14 - Mar 11)
2023-03-11 12:00 - 18:00 UTC | Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space, Inside Essex Market, 88 Essex St #21, New York, NY, 10002, United States
Through a series of videos, installations, documents, and sculptures, Afro-Cuban artist Javier Castro’s solo exhibition Open Wounds questions the broken promises of a postcolonial world. While many of the practices at the center of the work on view draw directly from the artist’s experiences with the island, the larger exhibition interrogates methods of manipulation embedded within prevalent social structures, including language, economic power, and religion. The show is the artist’s most personal contemplation of the social foundations that underlie our intimate and communal relationships, and the oppression, grief, and injustice that they represent within Black communities.

East Side Tree Care Demonstration & Community Planting/East Side Street Tree Survey
2023-04-22 11:30 - 12:30 | Avenue B (between E 8th St & E 9th St), New York, NY, 10009, United States
Sign-up for a street tree care demonstration and community planting that will take place as part of the Car Free Earth Day Avenue B Open Street programming: bit.ly/434136I
The demonstration and planting will mark the kick-off of the East Side Street Tree Survey. We are looking for volunteers to assist with surveying the street trees and tree beds in Council District 2! Some of the questions will be: whether the tree is there, concerns about health, is there a tree guard, are there rat burrows, is there litter and what type, and is there signage.
There are about 693,000 street trees lining the sidewalks of New York City, which provide various environmental, economic, and health benefits. 22% of the city is covered by the urban canopy, which totals about 7 million trees, and advocates like Forest for All NYC are calling for 30% coverage by 2035. This survey will help inform City agencies about the conditions of the street trees in our neighborhoods.
If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up here: bit.ly/3EddH8I

Please contact Eddie Amador with any questions: eamador@council.nyc.gov
