The Nukkone project is a ramble and art installation that brings coastal communities and indigenous communities together to celebrate life, self awareness and moving forward into the future with a kinesthetic approach. Using the senses to observe a hand built ancient wetu home structure that will be constructed by the hands of tribal members from several east coast first contact tribes.
This installment of Works on Water’s three year triennial turns to concepts of long-term care for our urban waterfront ecology and reconsideration of water time-scales. WoWhaus Resident artists’ and Tending the Edge artists’ projects call attention to marginalized ecological community members, and to water’s cycles of time and being.
We have adapted our 2020 Triennial into a three year exhibition! Despite the pandemic, we produced virtual projects and exhibitions, and are excited to continue this summer. Tending the Edge, a continuation of Walking the Edge (2020), kicks off our 2021 triennial summer with an incredible group of artists making work through the lens of the Comprehensive Waterfront Plan that invites NYC mayoral candidates and New Yorkers alike to see themselves as island inhabitants and flex their power to affect change.
