About this Event
Join us on the Waterfront Plaza at Brookfield Place New York for Join Annie Nicholson, The Fandangoe Kid, The Skip Gallery and Caukin studio to find out more about how The Fandangoe Skip *on tour* came to life and why we believe this is an opportunity to smash the stigma around mental health, grief and loss through alternative spaces that challenge the status quo of mental health and grief support.
The talk coincides with our free ice cream and chats so make sure you grab one before we start!
About The Fandangoe Skip *on tour*
Following 2021’s successful UK tour of The Fandangoe Whip, Annie Nicholson, AKA The Fandangoe Kid has partnered with Skip Gallery and CAUKIN Studio to present The Fandangoe SKIP, an ice cream kiosk made from a re-purposed skip in London and New York. The original project toured the UK offering ice cream and mental health support to diverse communities as we began to emerge from the global pandemic and all its challenges. Founded by artist Annie Nicholson, following her own experiences of grief, this project seeks to smash taboos around grief and mental health and offer an alternative space to open up the conversation, alongside a therapeutic programme curated by The Loss Project.
We are excited to bring the Fandangoe Skip on Tour to Brookfield Place New York in partnership with Brookfield Properties who are commissioning us. The New York installation will be created from a repurposed dumpster and feature a wide array of public programming, including talks, workshops, and arts activations on the Waterfront Plaza at Brookfield Place.
