With Your Voice: Public Tour

With Your Voice Public Tour
Friday, September 6, 6–7:30 pm
Brooklyn Public Library — Pacific Branch
25 4th Avenue, Brooklyn

On September 9, join artists Juanli Carrión and Rodolfo Kusulas for a walking tour of With Your Voice.

With Your Voice is a multi-site art installation and community engagment tool that envisions major changes coming to Gowanus as part of the neighborhood’s rezoning. Megaphoned-shaped sculptures called “Voicers” are installed across Gowanus, each showing images of how that location will be impacted. Whether you’re a Gowanus resident, worker, or visitor, these changes will affect your life. You’re invited to look through the Voicers, flip through images, and see what change could look like.

This is Van Alen’s 15th installation in its ongoing Common Build initiative, which surfaces the work of emerging artists and tests new strategies to bring people together in public space. With Your Voice is supported by public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and by the Council’s Brooklyn Boroughwide Needs Initiative, and with in-kind fabrication from Bednark Studio and engineering review services from Silman. The project is made possible through the collaboration of Brooklyn Public Library, New York City Housing Authority, NYC Department of Environment Protection, NYC Department of City Planning, NYC Parks, Domain Companies, PMG, SCAPE, and Avery Hall.
