FDSE led a special walk to launch their audio tour of New York's Whale Creek, a tributary of Newtown Creek, a waterway hidden in plain sight.

The concept of “dark ecology” brings people, actions, and ecologies into one sphere, in which our tangled cultural and natural histories are available to be reimagined. Field Guide to the Dark Ecologies of Newtown Creek is intended to serve the communities at stake, and to use the affective strengths of art to forge a fair and creative model of how to live and work together alongside brownfields and Superfund sites. This guide addresses the complexities of this post-natural landscape, and empowers citizens to imagine the waterway's future.
