Collaborative Studio: Preview + Party!

ᵔ▾ᵔ
ᵔ▾ᵔWe’re back with our annual Preview in the Park that this year debuts a new collection of 7 fresh new short films grounded geographically in our relatively new neighborhood of Ridgewood, Queens. Come through to watch these incredible new films under the stars, in community!
You’re invited to join us in celebrating with us on the Handball Courts across from UnionDocs on Dekalb Ave to take in this dynamic and far-ranging collection of new local stories from the artists in our Collaborative Studio (CoLAB).
We’ve found our proximity to the borough boundary of Brooklyn and Queens notable and a good starting place for local engagement. This cross-section opens many questions around what the New York Times has called a, “historic interborough murkiness” and with a wave of media attention calling Ridgewood one of the hippest neighborhoods in the world, the never-ending rise of median rents in Brooklyn creeping to Queens, these demarcations and questions of neighborhood and borough identity are brought into sharper relief.
The short documentaries in this program were developed by twelve artists over six months in response to some of the questions we’ve been discussing around this prompt with inputs from important community members too. Stay tuned for the full lineup! Doors open at 7:30, and the films will start at sunset, ~8:30!
After the films, we’ll invite folks across the street back to UNDO to celebrate and keep the party going with festive drinks, dancing, and music ‘til late.
