SUMMARY:Growing Up Rikers\, Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion: Growing Up Rikers\, Then and Now \n\n\n\nOn February 19th\, we will be hosting an intergenerational panel discussion on the impact of Rikers Island on young people in New York City. \n\n\n\nThe evening will begin with a panel featuring individuals who have firsthand experience with Rikers and the NYC legal system as adolescents and young adults\, sharing their journeys and perspectives. Following this\, a panel of advocates and service providers will discuss the current landscape of programs designed to support at-risk and system-involved youth. \n\n\n\nTo conclude\, all panelists will come together for a Q&A session\, encouraging audience participation in a dynamic discussion\, followed by a youth performance to close the evening. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect and explore pathways to liberation. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHelen “Skip” Skipper \n\n\n\nHelen Skipper\, or Skip as she prefers to be called\, has been working in peer support since her final release from years of multiple incarcerations and systems involvement in 2007. She is the Executive Director of the NYC Justice Peer Initiative\, a Beyond the Bars 20-21′ Fellow\, and an honors graduate of St. Francis College. Skip is pursuing a Master of Arts and moving toward a PhD in Criminology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Her criminology work includes acceptance into the American Society of Criminology\, where she has presented her original scholarship at their annual meeting for the last 2 years. \n\n\n\nShe is also a board member and participant of College and Community Fellowship\, which works with justice-involved women through community support and access to higher education. Skip has been a part of the Rikers Public Memory Project community since 2023\, where she has contributed an oral history interview\, served as a Directly Impacted Design Advisor for RPMP’s Mobile Exhibit\, and most recently been accepted to the inaugural Rikers Narrative Change Community Fellowship\, where she will produce a documentary theater project. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIsaac Scott \n\n\n\nIsaac I. Scott is a multidisciplinary visual artist who has been recognized with multiple awards for his creative endeavors. Isaac was ordained in 2018 at God’s Touch Healing Ministry\, where he served with dedication for three years as the Associate Pastor. Currently\, Isaac is actively engaged in ministry within the African Methodist Episcopal Church\, holding a Certificate of License to Preach\, where he integrates faith\, art\, and social justice. Isaac Scott is an experienced community organizer\, currently serving as the Director of Community Initiatives at Another Choice Youth and Family Outreach Inc. and the Chairperson for the Human Services Committee at Manhattan Community Board 11. His leadership as President of the Justice Arts Coalition and his ongoing service on the National Religious Campaign Against Torture’s Prison Program Advisory Council highlight his deep understanding of the intricacies of both the prison and reentry systems \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLuz Hernandez \n\n\n\nLuz Hernandez\, also known as Luz Tha Goddess or “Sunshine\,” is a passionate activist\, advocate\, artist\, and photographer who was born in Queens and raised in the South Bronx and is dedicated to empowering marginalized communities. Drawing from her own transformative experiences of incarceration and systemic injustice\, Luz’s journey is a testament to the power of art and advocacy in breaking toxic cycles and fostering healing. \n\n\n\nShe is currently publishing A Fractured Menace\, a powerful poetry collection that delves deep into her incarceration\, exploring harrowing themes of gang violence\, gun violence\, human trafficking\, child abuse\, sexual abuse\, and domestic violence. Through her evocative words\, Luz invites readers into her world\, revealing the complexities of survival and resilience. \n\n\n\nAs an intern at Justice Ambassadors at Columbia University\, she is actively crafting policy proposals with elected officials\, aiming to reshape the narratives surrounding justice-involved individuals. Luz is also a dynamic presence in her community\, voluntarily hosting open mics at Youth Justice Network\, where she collaborates with organizations like Fortune Society\, Reform\, and others to advocate for criminal justice reform. These events serve as vital safe spaces for artists to express themselves and heal from the trauma of incarceration and prior life experiences. \n\n\n\nHer photography project\, Meet Me at the Crossroads\, confronts uncomfortable truths and challenges societal labels\, showcasing the human stories behind high-profile and low-profile cases. This impactful work will be displayed at the renowned Benrubi Art Gallery\, offering a visual narrative that underscores the strength and resilience of those who have been justice-impacted. \n\n\n\nThrough her multifaceted work\, Luz hopes to battle parole justice\, end mass incarceration\, and support individuals with high-profile cases in successfully reentering society. By garnering support for reentry groups\, destigmatizing individuals with high-profile charges\, and helping them reunify with their families and meet their basic needs\, she aims to prevent further incarceration and foster a sense of belonging. \n\n\n\nWith a heart dedicated to spreading love and positivity\, Luz strives to change the perspectives of those in authority within the criminal justice system while uplifting others who have faced similar challenges. Her son is the driving force behind her relentless advocacy; her battle to reclaim him inspires her to help everyone she can. Luz makes it a priority to infuse every space she enters with warmth and compassion\, ensuring she puts a smile on everyone’s face. She makes sure everyone knows that vulnerability is strength. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNaquasia Jones \n\n\n\nNaquasia Pollard is an advocate\, activist and direct service provider. She has been deeply involved in movements for social justice drawing upon her own experience – 15 years of incarceration in a Women’s Correctional Facility at the age of 19 and being pregnant on Rikers Island (Rosie M. Singer). Upon her release in October 2017 she went to work at the Ladies of Hope Ministries where she utilized her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology and Minor in Psychology\, earned in prison\, to support women impacted by incarceration. Her personal and professional goals are connected to her own experiences with systems that were supposed to support her but instead have failed her. As a result\, Naquasia is deeply committed to supporting women and young girls impacted by systemic failures. \n\n\n\nWhile working at the Ladies of Hope Ministries\, Naquasia became more involved in advocacy and direct services for women and young girls\, using a trauma-centered approach to support them in their journey towards healing and restoration. In 2018\, Naquasia founded Pure Legacee Inc.\, an organization providing a healing haven for young girls to break generational barriers and develop community leaders. She is also a part of the Beyond Rosies campaign and Herstories documentary. Naquasia is involved in the Probation and Parole Reform Project with Columbia University.

SUMMARY:Liberatory Love Day
DESCRIPTION:“The moment we choose to love\, we begin to move against domination\, against oppression. The moment we choose to love\, we begin to move toward freedom\, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others.” – bell hooks Outlaw Culture: Resisting Representations\, 1994 \n\n\n\nCatalytic\, expansive\, steadfast\, liberatory—these words come to mind as we reflect on bell hooks’s teachings about the essence of love. Her work reminds us that love is not passive\, nor is it confined to romantic fantasy. Instead\, love is a deliberate and conscientious act that nurtures the well-being of oneself and others\, serving as an initial step toward collective freedom. \n\n\n\nThis Valentine’s Day\, we invite you to join us in reimagining the holiday as Liberatory Love Day. On February 14th\, poetess Nicole Alexander will lead us in a revelatory workshop where we’ll explore the depths of love and liberation. Together\, we’ll craft valentines of poetry for ourselves and others\, inspired by Nicole’s practice of immortalizing the hearts of strangers through her written word.  \n\n\n\nDrop in anytime between 12:00 and 6:00 p.m.\, and as you write\, take a moment to explore our open-source library\, featuring a curated collection of works on radical love. At 2:00 p.m.\, join us for a special walk-through in our gallery of Torture Island: Past\, Present\, Future\, our new exhibition curated by the Rikers Public Memory Project. \n\n\n\nAbout Nicole Alexander \n\n\n\nNicole Alexander is a poetess and educator based in NYC. She graduated from Syracuse University in 2020\, earning a BA in English and textual studies with a concentration in creative writing. During the warmer months\, Nicole writes personalized poems for strangers in parks in NYC. In 2024\, she self-published her debut collection of poems: Why I Love Dreaming. \n\n\n\nAbout Torture Island  \n\n\n\nTorture Island: Past\, Present\, Future is an exhibition showcasing works from the Rikers Public Memory Project’s ongoing initiative with Freedom Agenda\, Create Forward\, and the Humanities Action Lab. The exhibition features creative works by their 2024 Narrative Change Community Fellows alongside historical context and personal stories about Rikers Island\, the active New York City jail complex located in the East River. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Torture Island: Past\, Present\, Future
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Opening: Torture Island: Past\, Present\, Future \n\n\n\nIn 1829\, while a fourteen-year-old future abolitionist\, minister\, and Weeksville notable Henry Highland Garnet is at sea working as a cabin boy to supplement his family’s meager income\, slave catchers ransacked his family’s New York City home. His parents\, who escaped enslavement in Maryland just five years earlier\, are able to evade capture. His teenage sister Eliza is eventually detained and brought before City Recorder Richard Riker as a fugitive. She is acquitted with the help of a savvy lawyer who provides false evidence that she was born in New York and not Maryland.” -Riker’s Public Memory Project timeline \n\n\n\nThe Garnets’ family story was all too common during Riker’s time as city recorder\, and he would become notorious for terrorizing free and freedom-seeking Black New Yorkers. This February\, we are honored to bring light to stories like Eliza’s as we partner with the Rikers Public Memory Project to present their exhibition Torture Island: Past\, Present\, Future. This powerful collection features creative works\, historical insights\, and personal stories about Rikers Island—the active NYC jail complex in the East River. \n\n\n\nCurated by the Rikers Public Memory Project\, the exhibition amplifies the voices and experiences of those directly impacted by Rikers\, with a mission to mobilize healing and challenge dehumanizing narratives. \n\n\n\nJoin us for the exhibition opening on Saturday\, February 1st\, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. The evening will include thought-provoking presentations by the 2024 Rikers Narrative Change Community Fellows and opportunities to mingle and explore the gallery.  \n\n\n\nThroughout the month\, the Rikers Public Memory Project will host a series of panel discussions\, workshops\, and screenings to deepen the conversation. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRSVP here

SUMMARY:Unmonument Brooklyn: City Refuge
DESCRIPTION:On August 8-10\, 2024\,  Black Reconstruction Collective presents Unmonument Brooklyn: City Refuge with Weeksville Heritage Center. This is the second iteration of the Unmonument traveling installation\, an architectural project centering a nomadic sculpture conceived as an ‘exquisite corpse’ exercise\, meant to refuse traditional ideas of monuments and inspire collective action. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConceived as a means to reimagine possibilities for the emancipation for the African Diaspora\, Unmonument memorializes the Liberators of Black America – Harriet Tubman\, Nat Turner\, Toussaint Louverture – and the Self-Liberated communities found throughout the Americas – Ambrosio\, Fort Mose\, The Great Dismal Swamp. Challenging the concept of monuments and their inherent myths of power\, permanence\, and collective experience\, the Unmonument sculpture appears almost as a piece of scaffolding or construction equipment. Flexible\, unprecious\, and movable\, the sculpture is inherently and intentionally unspectacular – it is an infrastructure for recognizing the community that surrounds it\, a beacon to celebrate\, to gather\, and to come together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday August 8th: Sacred Haven / 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm  \n\n\n\nFilm Screening and Intimate Conversation on Oasis and Self Liberated Communities \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday August 9th: Aural Meadow / 12:00pm – 4:00pm \n\n\n\nOpen source library / Sound Odyssey \n\n\n\n“Read on the Grass While Meditating on Black Self Determinism” w/ Black Discourse \n\n\n\n3:30 – 4:30 pm Sunset Sound bath with Kia Islam \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday August 10th: Exodus Oasis Party / 4:00 pm -7:00 pm  \n\n\n\nSunset Celebration w/ sets by DJ Kendollaz \, DJ DadaCozmic \, DJ Elise  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWeeksville Green Farmers & Community Market will be open from 12:00pm – 5:00pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event includes the launch of Full Duration: Ceremonial Procession\, an augmented reality sculptural experience by BRC founder Olalekan Jeyifous. The installation is the fourth iteration of Olalekan Jeyifous’ “Protopian” Retrofuturist series exploring the potential of harmonizing reconstituted technological detritus with ecological stewardship through narratives of imagined fugitive Black communities throughout Brooklyn\, the Hudson Valley\, and Upstate New York. Each iteration of this collection of works (which has been on view in various iterations at MoMA\, PioneerWorks\, and Art Omi) is a reflection on resistance\, resilience\, and restoration\, drawing inspiration from the Maroon communities of the Americas and the Caribbean.
