Islands and Rivers is a two-day series of gatherings, performances, screenings and workshops. The aim of the series is to bring an environmental justice framework to creative, humanistic practices; and to conversely bring creative, humanistic practices to bear on environmental justice work.
It is a collaborative presentation, organized and sponsored by Lost & Found: The CUNY Poetics Document Initiative, the Center for Humanities at the CUNY Center, Casa de las Americas at LaGuardia Community College, and Engaging the Senses Foundation.
