Come celebrate Spiderwoman Theater’s
50th Anniversary at our Block Party Pow Wow: An Indigenous Celebration on Saturday, August 15! Q The first of several festivities honoring our 50th, the Block Party will be an afternoon of art, culture, heritage, and neighborhood unity curated by Josephine Tarrant.
Via: Spiderwoman Theater
Our founders, the Miguel sisters, chose DeGraw Street between Court and Smith Streets to honor the vibrant Native community that called Boerum Hill, Red Hook, and Cobble Hill home in the 1930s through the ‘50s, including Mohawks from Kahnewake and the Western tribes. In addition to our anniversary milestone, we’ll also be celebrating Spiderwoman Theater co-founder Gloria Miguel’s 100th birthday!
We’re excited to host Indigenous artists like the SilverCloud Singers and MC Louis Morse of the Thunderbird American Indian Dancers Thunderbird Dancers . We’ll also have neighborhood vendors, speakers, and screened excerpts of Spiderwoman’s work, including Murielle Borst-Tarrant’s
‘Tipi Tales from the Stoop’ Muriel Borst Tarrant .
This event is free to the public-no reservations required!
