THINGS TO DO
Events, gatherings, & outings: What to see and do in the Millbrook, NY area.
Join the Wassaic Project for the premiere of Jazmine Hayes’ of blood and water, make me new to be old again, screened on the side of Maxon Mills after the opening of the 2024 Summer Exhibition, Tall Shadows in Short Order.
Guided by Assata Shakur’s poem “Affirmation,” of blood and water, make me new to be old again unfolds with Hayes gracefully moving across the Wassaic grounds, using improvisational dance, sound healing, breathwork, and ritual to create a multisensory narrative. These artistic elements become powerful conduits for thought-provoking conversations on rest, grief, care, and joy, specifically within the context of Black experiences. Hayes explores the rebellious spirit inherent in the act of living, growing, and experiencing within oppressive conditions, assuring audiences that freedom is not merely a concept but a tangible and achievable reality.
