Coney Island Creek Exploration & Residency

Artists and storytellers have long drawn inspiration from New York's cityscape. But under the waters that define our islands is another landscape entirely, every bit as gritty and urgent, as lonely and cluttered, as deadly, nonsequitous, singular and siren as the City itself.

Nicki Pombier Berger and Helen Georgas, editors at Underwater New York’s a digital journal of writing, art, and music are inspired by the waterways that surround New York City and the objects submerged within them. They led an exploration and residency at Coney Island Creek.
