SUMMARY:Prospect Park Guided Walk: Spring Birds
DESCRIPTION:Prospect Park is home to many bird species during the spring months; spend some time observing them on this guided walk. \nJoin us and Elijah Shiffer for a guided walk at Prospect Park\, taking some time to observe the birds found there during spring. \nThe peak of spring migration may still be a month away\, but early April is already an exciting time for birding in Prospect Park. Several early migrants are passing through that will have moved on by May. We’ll be on the lookout for Eastern Phoebes\, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers\, Louisiana Waterthrushes\, and the earliest of the warblers such as Pine and Palm. The lake may be where we find the most new arrivals including Ospreys\, herons\, egrets and swallows. There should also be some lingering winter waterbirds here- diving ducks\, American Coots\, and maybe grebes or loons- which would be a lot less likely to find later in the spring. \n\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nSign Up

SUMMARY:Reuse and Reimagine: Slow Circuits Wire Weaving
DESCRIPTION:Slow Circuits is a participatory weaving circle where participants will collectively weave a textile installation from discarded electronic wires. The process is accompanied by a facilitated discussion that explores the extractive origins of technologies\, their lifecycles\, and their afterlives. \nBy slowing down the pace of technological consumption and inviting tactile engagement with the remnants of our digital lives\, Slow Circuits transforms waste into a medium of connection and care\, inviting participants to confront their own entanglements within global extractive supply chains while learning practical skills for repair and reuse. Through this collective practice\, the workshop makes visible the material and ecological costs embedded in our technologies and examines how the pace\, planned obsolescence and linearity of modern technology proliferation exacerbates inequities along race\, gender\, and class lines.\n\nSign Up >
