Water in the Streets by Sarah Cameron Sunde and Nathan Kensinger

Water in the Streets is a video work that invites us to bear witness to the encroaching edges of Far Rockaway during the "sunny day flooding" event in May 2021. Combining the research, performance, and video art practices of Sarah Cameron Sunde and Nathan Kensinger, this project was created for Tending the Edge and asks: What do these monthly flooding events say about our future and what does it mean for New York City?

Performance and video made in collaboration with Rockaway Youth Task Force, with support from Beach64Retreat. Music by Joshua Dumas. Produced by Maya Shah for Tending the Edge, a collaboration with Works on Water, Culture Push, and the Department of City Planning.

This installment of Works on Water’s three year triennial turns to concepts of long-term care for our urban waterfront ecology and reconsideration of water time-scales. WoWhaus Resident artists’ and Tending the Edge artists’ projects call attention to marginalized ecological community members, and to water’s cycles of time and being.
