Join for a vibrant celebration honoring the final week of Kinfolk Tech’s exhibition Dreaming with the Archives at Brooklyn Bridge Park on Saturday, August 23. This special closing event will weave together music, movement, and cultural memory. Experience the rich tapestry of diaspora culture through an immersive musical journey. Their featured DJ will craft a distinctive set that pays homage to memory, diaspora, and cultural heritage, creating a sonic landscape that celebrates the connections between past and present.

​This celebration draws inspiration from Ari Melenciano’s augmented reality artwork “Birds of Unfeathered,” an innovative installation that explores the movement of sound and identity across diasporic, ecological, and geopolitical borders. The project’s title plays with the familiar proverb “birds of a feather flock together,” asking profound questions about kinship and connection: What happens when the markers that bind us are not visual or ethnic, but sonic? Can we recognize one another not solely by appearance, but by resonance?

​This lens of sonic kinship and diasporic connection informs our closing celebration, where the DJ’s set becomes a space for exploring how sound transcends borders and creates new forms of community and belonging.

​Come be part of this meaningful conclusion to an exhibition that has brought together art, history, and community in the beautiful setting of Brooklyn Bridge Park. All are welcome to join this celebration of culture, memory, and the power of collective dreaming.

​Free and open to the public.
