The Nou Series: An Embodied History and Body Installation Project - Walking Tour!
2019-09-07 15:00 - 18:00 | Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum, 5816 Clarendon Road, Brooklyn, NY, 11203, United States
As part of Protest Garden: Historical Resistance and Radical Cultivation in Brooklyn, Kiryol Dance! Collective presents
The Nou Series: An Embodied History and Body Installation Project
Kriyol Dance! Collective envisions its role in the future of socially engaged arts as that which helps to cultivate community consciousness for collective healing.
By creating culturally-informed work and addressing detrimental changes in physical, social, and political contexts of our community, we hope to influence the next generation of activists, visionaries, and advocates. By privileging stories and lived experiences, we hope to build the collective self.
The Nou Series is an experiment in embodied knowledge, resistance, and history that prioritizes “nou” (“us” in Haitian Creole). By exploring the history of The Wyckoff House, documented memories of native Lenape peoples and enslaved Africans in Canarsie, and the migration of Black Caribbeans to Brooklyn, through a lens of muscle memory and spirituality, we hope to build a connected narrative and express it through movement. Our goal is that by positioning our bodies as museum installations we can expand and interrogate stories and processes of cultural preservation and community identity.
The Walking Tour —— The Nou Series will conclude with a public walking tour, taking attendees through an interactive witnessing of the body installations. Community members will be asked to move through the The Wyckoff House Museum engaging with “installed bodies” that share about what we learned, what we know, and what we hope to see in the future through movement.
Kriyol Dance! Collective also offers free movement workshops as part of their contributions to Protest Garden, please sign up with as many classes as you’d like here!

This workshop is part of the Protest Garden Project, made possible in part by the Lincoln Center Cultural Innovation Fund, which is generously supported by The Rockefeller Foundation and administered by Lincoln Center.

Come by the Wyckoff House Museum to pick it up and get answers to your compost related questions from a DSNY Outreach Coordinator. Register and RSVP here to reserve up to 4 bags.
