Reading: Underwater New York

The American Folk Art Museum presents a reading in conjunction with its exhibition Compass: Folk Art in Four Directions at the South Street Seaport Museum.

Speaker: Nicki Pombier Berger, founding editor, Underwater New York, and select contributors

Artists and storytellers have long drawn inspiration from the cityscape, but underneath the water’s surface is another landscape entirely, ranging from the whimsical (a giraffe skeleton, a fleet of ice cream trucks) to the historical (the steamship Princess Anne, the remnants of Coney Island’s Dreamland). Underwater New York, a digital journal of writing, art, and music inspired by real-life objects found in the waterways of New York City, hosts an evening of original stories written for the occasion by some of today’s most compelling authors as well as its founding editor, Nicki Pombier Berger.

This event is presented in partnership with the American Folk Art Museum.
