About this Event
Flood Sensor Aunty is a comedic public theater project about disaster preparedness, starring an anthropomorphic flood sensor making a career pivot to arthouse film and her friends. Designed as public education with and for brown aunties around Hillside Avenue and Jericho Turnpike, this will take place across late night chai and gossip spots,
Come for a community conversation about the intersections between art and disaster / emergency preparedness. What information do you wish you knew before a disaster (like flooding, power outages, severe rainstorms). What are physical materials that you wish that the city provided you for free? What are strategies for emotional preparedness? And more broadly, can art serve as a tool in mitigating the material impacts of climate change?
The gathering will take place on Jamaica Bay, at the North Channel Bay Canoe Launch on Broad Channel.
