The Dumbo Improvement District presents programming its third iteration of The Six Foot Platform, presented in partnership with the Brooklyn Arts Council. Brooklyn-based artists were chosen by a panel to participate in full-day residencies on a 6’ by 6’ platform on Washington Street—one of New York City’s most iconic blocks. Six Foot Platform residencies take place on Saturdays from 12 pm to 6 pm.
On Saturday, August 12 Maureen Catbagen and Jevijoe Vitug present Abang-guard Street Museum
“Abang-guard Street Museum is a participatory platform that enables the public to share their inner voice and creative expression via gallery format. Part workshop, part art space, Abang-guard will host and feature each piece made by the public. The platform museum provides an opportunity to showcase and uplift a diversity of voices while questioning what constitutes art and who can be an artist. Through democratic disruption, Abang-guard Street Museum empowers creativity while opening a wider field of access and authorship to the cultural production of value.”
In the event of inclement weather, a contingency plan will be announced on Instagram, @Dumbo_Brooklyn.
