From participatory ritual to immersive sound, tomorrow's events offer two unique ways to engage with art:

🌱Happy Planting Day with is a ceremony and participatory ritual created to transform grief, memory, and ancestral connection into collective acts of renewal. You’ll be invited to take part in the ritual by writing messages to deceased loved ones on handmade seed paper cards. Each card contains embedded African Daisy seeds, symbolizing resilience, beauty, and regeneration. Participants will be guided to reflect, write, and then offer their messages as part of a communal act of remembrance.

🌊Lines in the Water by will be a site-specific spatial composition that merges archival material with present-day data from New York Harbor. In the compositional process, Torge will use historical maritime maps and signals as well as other archival material to influence standard notation and develop graphic notations in a score performed by instrumentalists. Recordings from maritime sites throughout the harbor will be used to influence and dictate the rhythmic, harmonic, and overall structure of the composition. In addition to the recordings, real-time data like wind direction/speed and radio signals from the harbor will be used to determine parameters such as the sonic spatialization while the piece is performed. This anchors the performance to the present moment within the harbor.

📣NOW ON VIEW📣 Acacia UniPod: Seed of Rwanda

Acacia UniPod: Seed of Rwanda is a public sculpture from Dario Mohr’s Acacia Forest series, on view on Gazebo Row at Snug Harbor. The work honors the indigenous heritage of Rwanda through a language of unity rather than tribal distinction. While the broader series often references specific cultural lineages, this piece intentionally departs from that framework.

Rwanda’s contemporary identity is shaped by a collective commitment to stand as one people, rejecting tribal designations that were historically weaponized through colonial intervention to divide communities. The acacia tree, a symbol of endurance, regeneration, and ancestral presence across the African continent, is distilled here into a singular form: one pod, one seed, one nation. Rather than inscribing the names of tribes, the sculpture bears a single name, Rwanda affirming unity as an act of cultural sovereignty and healing.

🗓 On view: May 22-September 29, 2026

RSVP today for Speaking of Revolution: In A Different Key, A Community Conversation on Jazz with Humanities New York on 06/17!

Join us for a community conversation at Snug Harbor, part of Speaking of Revolution—a statewide series developed by Humanities New York. This gathering is one of several across New York where neighbors explore how ideas of rupture and renewal continue to shape civic and cultural life. Each event begins with a short reading or image, chosen locally, to spark open, reflective dialogue. There’s no panel, no lecture, and no pressure to have the right answer—just a chance to listen, share, and think together.

Join us on 05/30 for PASS: Lines in the Water by Torge Goderstad!

Lines in the Water sit between two realities of maritime activity. On one side, the use of objective data such as currents, radio alerts, and weather forecasts for navigational purposes. And on the other side, an abstract awareness of the unknown, and the mysticism that has been the source of countless sea stories.

Lines in the Water will be a site-specific spatial composition that merges archival material with present-day data from New York Harbor. In the compositional process, Torge will use historical maritime maps and signals as well as other archival material to influence standard notation and develop graphic notations in a score performed by instrumentalists. Recordings from maritime sites throughout the harbor will be used to influence and dictate the rhythmic, harmonic, and overall structure of the composition. In addition to the recordings, real-time data like wind direction/speed and radio signals from the harbor will be used to determine parameters such as the sonic spatialization while the piece is performed. This anchors the performance to the present moment within the harbor.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION:
Romeo & Juliet
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Saheem Ali

The Public’s Associate Artistic Director and Resident Director Saheem Ali brings Shakespeare’s legendary star-crossed lovers to Central Park for the first time in nearly 20 years. Never was there a story of more woe, or more romance, than the Bard’s timeless tale of two young lovers from warring families. As the Montagues and Capulets are torn apart by ideology and simmering violence spills into the streets of the border town of Verona, Romeo and Juliet dare to defy a world determined to keep them apart. In this bold new staging, the play unfolds in English, but Romeo and Juliet speak to one another in Spanish, a language reserved only for their shared world. Don’t miss this thrilling new production, essential viewing for lovers of Shakespeare, theater, and the enduring power of love itself.
