Join us for a ceremonial fire centering Indigenous protocol and knowledge. Guest artists and organizers share stories and performances in honor and protection of the land, water, and air of Lenapehoking, the homelands of the Lenapeyok, where Abrons Arts Center is located.
April's Kinstillatory will feature artist Marcela Torres.
Kinstillatory Mappings in Light and Dark Matter is an ongoing collaboration between choreographer, writer, and organizer Emily Johnson and scholar, artist, and writer Kai Recollet. Coming into its eighth year, this season’s Kinstillatory fires organize us around extended time—with one another, with sound, provocation, action.
