COMMUNITY PLANTING + STORY-SEEDING
TUESDAY JUNE 7, 5:30-7:30pm

DiP Residency Launch
Hosts: Dedalus Wainwright and Parijat Desai
Gibney Dance Center | The Gallery
280 Broadway (enter on Chambers St), 2nd floor

Artists Dedalus Wainwright and Parijat Desai invite our friends, colleagues, and the Gibney community to participate in the planting of our Listening Wall.

Bring your seeds, sprouts, and small plants, and Dedalus will guide you to place your offerings into the soil of our green wall. Don’t have seeds or plants to bring? We’ll have some available for you!—as well as prompts / paper for you to write your stories, poems, or intentions to plant in our wall.

This co-created Listening Wall will grow during our residency. It embodies Parijat’s inquiry into unearthing long-held stories, and collectively seeding new possibilities.

You are welcome to join at any point during the planting activity. Parijat and Dedalus will offer a formal welcome at 6:30p, and the event will conclude with a participatory circle dance to encourage our offerings to grow!
