Performance Schedule To Come

How can nature inspire new modes of resistance through rising tides of hypercapitalism? Something Fierce, an arts festival at Flux IV in Hunters Point, Queens, opens Saturday November 22. The festival presents performances and interdisciplinary artworks by leading contemporary artists encompassing new media, video, sculpture, and installation. The works engage with biodiversity, speculative ecology, psychogeography, and climate change, through the lens of queer desire, community, and persistence. The location is at the mouth of Newtown Creek — one of the most polluted waterways in the United States.
