Sunday, July 14; 5-6pm Join NYC Bird Alliance (formerly NYC Audubon) Artist in Resident Kiera Bono for a public movement workshop and shared outdoor meal on Governors Island. “Bird bones/Sparrow songs: Birds, Disability, and Movement” explores the relationships between birds, conservation, Disability Justice, access work, and disability aesthetics. Workshop facilitators will be bringing some gluten-free, vegetarian food/snacks for participants to eat throughout the workshop/dinner, and participants are welcome to bring their own food/snacks as well (like a potluck-style gathering). Fellow chronically ill and/or disabled folks are especially welcome to join! Movement/dance experience not required to participate in the workshop. The workshop will take place on Governors Island on a flat patch of grass in front of the NEW location of our seasonal environmental center: Colonels Row House 405B. Registration encouraged, but not required. Free. Accessibility and Directions: The Governors Island ferry is free on weekends before noon, but if you plan to arrive in the afternoon, you will need to purchase ferry tickets. Governors Island contains a variety of terrain, from hilly, grassy areas to paved and cobblestone paths. The latter can be difficult to walk on with strollers, for example. Public restrooms are located a short distance away from the Colonels Row House. There will be ASL interpretation provided, and workshop facilitators will provide written descriptions of sound. We will also be providing our own audio descriptions of movements and images. Please feel free to reach out to Kiera Bono at kiera.bono@gmail.com with any access-related questions.
