We are excited to announce Low Relief for High Water, Gabriela Salazar’s remarkable sculptural installation and performance commissioned by the Museum to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day in April 2020. Due to COVID-19, Low Relief for High Water was postponed until October 10, 2021.
About
You’re invited to join us on Sunday, October 10, in Washington Square Park for a full day of participatory art and climate community building with artist Gabriela Salazar.
Salazar will present a performative, interactive exploration of themes of home, vulnerability, caretaking, and collective responsibility in the face of climate change through the medium of a sculpture crafted from water-soluble paper. The artist will invite visitors to take a piece of her sculpture, cast directly from the walls of her own home, and interact with it as a surface upon which to actively contemplate their own experiences. At a time when the convergence of the climate crisis with an ongoing pandemic requires profound personal and community resilience, Low Relief’s messages resonate deeply, building connection and resolve.
