The Dear Neighbor Project: Art Workshop
Join Van Alen Institute for an immersive afternoon with artist Tiffany Baker, creator of The Dear Neighbor Project — a public art and storytelling initiative that shares the voices of Gowanus residents impacted by flooding and environmental change.
We’ll begin with a guided mural walk to view nearby outdoor installations, created from recorded neighbor interviews and layered visual storytelling.
Following the walk, we’ll return to Van Alen Institute for a hands-on workshop and live listening session. Together, we’ll listen to excerpts from community interviews and take time to reflect through drawing, writing, and discussion. Prompts will invite you to explore personal themes of water, place, housing, and belonging—adding your voice to the evolving story of the neighborhood.
Open to ages 12 and up. No artistic experience required.
The Dear Neighbor Project is produced by Van Alen Institute.
