About showup:
“Show Up is a one day event during which art projects, civic action and performances appear simultaneously in Brooklyn Parks on May Day. Conceived of by curator Regine Basha and artist Birgit Rathsmann, who were moved by the impromptu ephemeral musical actions, outdoor classes, creative activism and the generous community building witnessed throughout Brooklyn parks and public spaces in the past year and wanted to see these honored all in one day.
Show Up highlights the joyful labor of cultural workers as vital to communities during our darkest days. Adding to the liveliness of park life, Show Up brings added visibility to a group of visual artists, musicians, dancers, booksellers, yoga instructors, comedians, environmental activists, DJs and food preparers, by highlighting their park location and Venmo accounts on the Show Up website and social media.
We invite you to join us on May 1st at Fort Greene Park, McCarren Park, Brower Park, Prospect Park or Coffey Park for the day! Artists and their locations are listed by park. Social distancing will be practiced. A bike/ferry route is available for viewing all the projects at your leisure.”
