#ImagineAwrld
LIVE NOW: NLE Youth Action Council’s NYCapsule is thrilled to share their call-to-action towards solidarity and change through #ImagineAwrld, a poetry-based manifesto and documentary. #ImagineAwrld encourages all of us to imagine a more inclusive, equitable world. One that is, in the words of YAC members, “Free from violence. Where we promote brotherhood and sisterhood. Where liberation is not dependent on the exploitation of others...just imagine.” Visit their new microsite at www.nolongeremptyedu.org to learn more and see their brilliant leadership in action! #NLE_NYCapsule #NLEeducation #NLEyouth #NoLongerEmpty #NoLongerEmptyEducation #NLEYAC #InTouchFromaDistance #SeparateTogether #Artivism #covid19

“Times Square...represents the endless clock, the public heart of New York City. Placing a work in Times Square tests its capacity to engage the imaginations of a population that is more diverse than in any museum or gallery I can think of.” —Mel Chin Coming to Times Square July 11.#WakeNYC #UnmooredNYC #NoLongerEmpty #STEAMStudio The seas are rising. #HowWillYouRise @nolongerempty @tsqarts @queensmuseum @unc_asheville @microsoft

Mel Chin's 'Signal' rededication
#TBT to the 2018 rededication of Signal, a permanent installation by #MelChin. Presented by #NoLongerEmpty, Queens Museum, Amerinda and MTA Arts & Design, the original commission inserted the Native People’s presence, as a living culture, onto the Dutch-derived tile infrastructure of the MTA station.

Signal Rededication Ceremony
A ceremony in the subway? "Signal" draws upon the history of the Broadway-Lafayette crossroads, which was once a key point in the trading route for the Iroquois Six Nations (Haudenosaunee). Members of the Six Nations will host a free, rededication ceremony on May 13 as part of Mel Chin's All Over The Place. Join us tomorrow! #openengagement #nolongerempty #queensmuseum #timessquarearts #amerinda #allovertheplace #melchin Queens Museum Times Square, New York City Amerinda Mel Chin MTA Arts & Design

LL Cool J, Hush, 2004
Need a third reason to come to Saturday’s Closing Reception of the inaugural Southeast Queens Biennial April 21? We have three dreamy words: D.J. Tam Jams... From 3-5pm, this local music goddess will narrate the history of hip hop’s roots in Jamaica, Queens, and share personal stories about the times she played alongside LL Cool J, Run DMC and Salt-N-Pepa. Soak in this free education, “an essential foundation”, and learn about historical sites like the “Hush” mural wall at the Jamaica Colosseum Mall, featured in the 2004 video seen here. #djtamjams #NLELab #NoLongerEmpty #ALocusOfMovingPoints #SEQueensBiennial #YorkCollegeFineArtsGallery #YorkCollegeCUN #NotationsInPassing #QueensLibrary

Reason #4 to come out to the closing day events Saturday, April 21, as part of the inaugural Southeast Queens Biennial is fast, furious and LASTING.

There’s work to be done, so come energized and ready to type your heart out. #blacklunchtable #NLELab #NoLongerEmpty #ALocusOfMovingPoints #SEQueensBiennial #YorkCollegeFineArtsGallery #YorkCollegeCUNY #NotationsInPassing #QueensLibrary

Her performance will run from approximately 2:30-3:30pm just outside the York College Fine Art Gallery entrance on Liberty Ave. between 160th and Guy Brewer Blvd. Best news of all, they’re calling for sunshine!

Southeast Queens Biennial Presents 'Notations in Passing'
On Saturday March 3rd #NLELab opened the second exhibition of the inaugural Southeast Queens Biennial: “Notations in Passing” at the #QueensCentralLibrary. The exhibition feautures artworks by seven Southeast Queens based artists in a public hub for culture and services in their own community. The installation intersperses photographs of everyday life in Southeast Queens with paintings, prints, drawings, and collages that investigate the interconnectedness of quotidian life, the global economy, environmental crises, and race-based oppression. ***Join us at Queens Central Library on Saturday, March 17th from 2-4pm for the opening reception*** #NLELab #SEQueensBiennial #ALocusOfMovingPoints #NotationsInPassing #QueensLibrary #DamaliAbrams #SalimahAli #ReneeHarper #CoronaJohnson #RejinLeys #IfyChiejina #LisaWade
