This installation and performance unveils the pre-colonial ecologies of the Lower East Side in Manhattan, using the waterway that once flowed through East 4th Street to the East River as a focal point for exploring our critical relationship to water in an era of accelerating climate change. By combining movement, ritual, and environmental elements, the work reflects on the enduring significance of water and its profound connections to both ecological and cultural histories. At the heart of the project is a large-scale, painted canvas depicting animals connected to water and considered sacred in various Indigenous traditions of the Americas. The installation begins with an artist-led procession that traces remnants of pre-colonial waterways in the area. During the procession, participants use water from the East River to wet the pavement, making visible a map of the waterway in front of the building façade on 70 E. 4th Street, the location of the exhibition, and where this specific waterway starts. The banner was exposed to the elements for three years, the duration of the exhibition.
