Event Description

This freezing February, we invite you to ponder summer heat with us. How do we tell stories about extreme heat and climate change in New York City? And who tells these stories?

Learn more about how communities are documenting local climate impacts related to urban heat. Listen to stories from across the boroughs about how our neighborhoods are changing and adapting to longer and hotter summers, share your own experiences, and reflect on how these everyday stories enter our collective memory. The evening will begin with a tour of the boathouse, followed by a writing prompt and time to explore pop-up stations focusing on oral histories, archival photographs and snapshots, and art-making.
