Holes in the Wall Collective We hold space for creatives everywhere who are working to rebalance the future. Through creative residency, public happenings and socio-messaging.

We don't just do one thing on purpose. We are a collective of people who think outside the box, who work to move things forward by understanding how we got here, who work to re-examine and reimagine the world around us. That is what art does, and that is what creativity can do.
​
We figure the best shot we have at making something better ​is to support creative work with as many representations of people & ideas as possible.
​
We recognize that the work of the educator, the economist, the lawyer, the mother is just as creative as any. And to revalue creative thought and action is essential to rebalancing our planet. "My job is not to make political declarations but to make holes in the wall... The things which were forbidden before me should be permitted after me... I must solve the problem of liberty & tyranny in practical ways-- that means that my activity must leave behind traces, examples of liberty. It's not the same about leaving complaints about the subject of freedom... you must actually get things done."

Last week instead of 4 events in two days to round our Climate Week, the water gave us a different flow and we ended up simplifying to one indoor event: joining Mycelium Choral Project to sing Big Yellow Taxi at Mercury Store in Gowanus.

Thank you Kenter Davies for leading us with such gracious and joyous song. It was much needed medicine.

And thank you for the best underscore of our lives to talk about the work. That’s not a track we put under us- that’s the sound of a room full of people in song.

And thank you thank you to Mycelium Choral Project for supporting this beautiful work.

When Caridad De la Luz, aka La Bruja Caridad De La Luz, speaks her poems, whether to thousands or a lucky handful, you can feel the earth shake and awake.

Written in homage to the Bronx River as part of our program Imagined Futures// This Must be the Place, this poem was first shared for our 9.22 event Cultivating Abundance with Bronx River Alliance Bronx River Alliance and clinical herbalist Journei Bimwala Journei B.

Joined in an impromptu and beautiful accompaniment on the flute by Fairy Hawk soul8ted bringing the spirit of the Women's Water Walk happening now upstate in protection of our whole watershed to the Bronx River.

We’re so grateful to share it with you all now.

Like so many of you, we have had to postpone all of our weekend programming to conclude Climate Week due to the climate. 😂

We are working hard to reschedule with many moving parts and many partners, throughout the fall and into the spring. STAY TUNED!

Working with the waters has taught us so much. This has been a huge lesson in following the path of least resistance and we are humbly taking the memo. And especially apt to these waters, the constant in and out like the tidal flow is to be expected.

Thank you everyone for keeping your ears to the ground and your feet on the shore and we hope to see you soon.

Stay safe out there.

As the climate shows face at Climate Week NYC, we are listening to the waters and heeding the call for adaptability.
