Bird bones/Sparrow songs: Birds, Disability, and Movement

Join NYC Bird Alliance (for­mer­ly NYC Audubon) Artist in Res­i­dent Kiera Bono for a pub­lic move­ment work­shop and shared out­door meal on Gov­er­nors Island. ​“Bird bones/​Sparrow songs: Birds, Dis­abil­i­ty, and Move­ment” explores the rela­tion­ships between birds, con­ser­va­tion, Dis­abil­i­ty Jus­tice, access work, and dis­abil­i­ty aesthetics. 

Work­shop facil­i­ta­tors will be bring­ing some gluten-free, veg­e­tar­i­an food/​snacks for par­tic­i­pants to eat through­out the workshop/​dinner, and par­tic­i­pants are wel­come to bring their own food/​snacks as well (like a potluck-style gath­er­ing). Fel­low chron­i­cal­ly ill and/​or dis­abled folks are espe­cial­ly wel­come to join! Movement/​dance expe­ri­ence not required to par­tic­i­pate in the workshop.

The work­shop will take place on Gov­er­nors Island on a flat patch of grass in front of NYC Bird Alliance’s sea­son­al envi­ron­men­tal cen­ter at Colonels Row House 405B. Reg­is­tra­tion encour­aged, but not required. Free. 

NYC Bird Alliance is one of the 2024 Gov­er­nors Island Arts Orga­ni­za­tions in Res­i­dence.
