SLUDGE May 19th 6-8 PM
SLUDGE is artist Priscilla Stadler’s creative exploration of Newtown Creek, the toxic yet fascinating waterway dividing Queens and Brooklyn. Stadler makes diverse work: paintings using Creek water, sculptures made from detritus abandoned on its shores, a zine called Tales from the Creek, and a collaboration with choreographer/dancer Chris Bisram. When possible she weaves humor into the project.
Despite its history of contamination since the 1800s, and having been the site of the U.S’s largest oil spill, the Creek offers reasons for hope, including the gradual return of mussels, birds, and fish, and the humans working to support them.
