The Six Foot Platform presents Sarah E. Brook

ReSounding is a participatory installation of reclaimed organ pipes from a local Brooklyn church. Queer and trans poets, commissioned to write pieces that reconsecrate the intention of the pipes with queer spirituality, will give readings throughout the day. An audio piece integrating pipe sounds with the poets’ voices will play between live readings, and visitors will also be invited to play the pipes themselves.
