CALL CONNECTS - June 2024
Join Mary Miss, Eric Sanderson, and Christian Cassagnol on our inaugural Cloudburst Project WALK
We're thrilled to kick off our newest Cloudburst Project with a walk led by artist and CALL's founder Mary Miss, urban ecologist Eric Sanderson, and District Manager Christian Cassagnol. This walk will explore the streets of Corona, Queens which have recently been designated a Cloudburst site by the Mayor and NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
Cloudburst Project is in partnership with the New York Botanical Garden and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) as part of a citywide initiative to mitigate the impending impacts of increased inland flooding due to climate change. On this walk, we'll discuss themes regarding the watershed's history, topography, and how we can re-imagine a more sustainable future.
Saturday, June 22nd, at 11:00am
Led by Mary Miss, Eric Sanderson, and Christian Cassagnol
Meeting Point: New York Hall of Science

South Cove performance happening this weekend
As part of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's River to River Festival, there will be two performances of John P. Hasting’s South Cove Song (overlay), a site-specific music performance featuring a brass ensemble, on June 16 in South Cove Park. The performance is partly an homage to the Mary Miss' South Cove installation, while also drawing inspiration from the musical and layering of 17th century Dutch melodies, Romantic-era seafaring novels, and the contemporary resiliency plans for Lower Manhattan designed to mitigate against unstoppable natural forces.
