NEW YORK CITY
Found@Sea RFP
Shadow Traffic
Event Date: Aug 7, 2021
Stipend: $150
Deadline: June 19
Invoking the impermanence of memory and engaging the cycles of birth and loss that characterize New York’s physical as well as cultural landscapes, this event combines storytelling, ephemeral found object sculpture, collaborative art-making and sustainability in a series of interventions that culminate in a participatory public event.
The project solicits ten creators to submit stories about beloved lost objects, and to construct sandcastles dedicated to these items during a one-day event in Fort Tilden on August 7th, 2021 (time TBA). The event will invite participants to view the sandcastles and their stories, and watch them wash away with the tides. There will also be a participatory storytelling event, inviting event-goers to engage in a tale woven from found objects washed up at sea and the imagination of the collective.
