__________________________________________
The word WAKE, with its varied meanings and etymologies, forms the poetic knot and the heart of this event. In one sense, we encounter a word meaning alertness or holding vigil, and in another, the artifacts trailing behind a person or idea.
WAKE! is a multi-discipline arts festival featuring 30+ NYC based poets, writers, musicians, filmmakers, and artists. There is also an art market featuring food, arts, & crafts made by Bushwick/Ridgewood locals.
WAKE! commemorates the late co-founders of Issue Project Room, Suzanne Fiol and Dana Maisel. As curators, their devotion to a diverse and multi-generational space, promoted an ever-broadening sense of community. The scale of our event blurs the lines between artists and their offerings. Anonymity though, is not the loss of self, it is acknowledging unseen influences as they move through us.
