Estamos en el Agua Story Collection and Distribution

  • Unishpere Flushing Meadows Corona Park Flushing Meadows Corona Park New York, NY 10013 (map)

City as Living Lab will be at Flushing Meadows Corona Park on July 18th from 10 am - around 7 pm in part of Queens Day!

Please join City as Living Lab (CALL), celebrate the release of Artist Emilio Martínez Poppe's Estamos en el Agua. Estamos en el Agua is a community artwork taking the form of a newspaper. Created as part of City as Living Lab's Water // Ways Cloudburst Initiative, it recounts the stories of Queens residents. It brings together historical maps and practical tools to confront the growing reality of cloudburst-- sudden, intense rainstorms that flood streets and homes.

During Queens Day, CALL will distribute free copies of the newspaper and be collecting flood and water stories from the Queens community to include in future iterations of Estamos en el Agua. 

Queens Day is a day-long celebration of all things Queens happening (where else?!) in Flushing Meadows Corona Park hosted by the Alliance for Flushing Meadows Corona Park (AFMCP). From afternoon to night, there will be family-friendly activities, giveaways, concerts and more.
