Tour | Walking the Harlem River: Lost Waterfronts and Buried Creeks
This walk will explore the history of lost waterways in Marble Hill and Kingsbridge, where the Harlem River was rerouted more than a century ago, and its tributaries filled in. Today, the shoreline is inaccessible, and the lowlands are prone to frequent flooding. We will follow the route of the proposed daylighting of Tibbetts Brook, which once flowed into Spuyten Duyvil Creek, and will consider how this buried waterway could be reconnected with the Harlem River, and become part of the proposed Harlem River Greenway. This walk is designed and led by Nathan Kensinger, a journalist, photographer, filmmaker and curator, who has been documenting New York City’s changing waterfront for 15 years.

Concert | Darkwave/R&B and Plaintive Pop
Prince Terrence first made his name touring and recording in the Midwest hardcore scene, then came up as a drummer for electronic artists like Santigold, Heartsrevolution, Steve Aoki and Major Lazer, all the while cultivating an underground nightlife movement around his DJ and music events in NYC. His embrace of the current revival of the post-punk emo genre of darkwave led to another rebirth, this time as the artist Rare Form. Musically, Rare Form offers the listener an unlikely fusion of darkwave and R&B, what Alternative Press calls "goth slow jams." Prince Terrence’s richly layered vocals drive these hallucinatory lullabies, taking the audience on a darkly evocative journey into sensual narcosis. Hallmarked by diffused synth beats, orchestral ballads, and purple party vibes, Rare Form's music is a plaintive pop daydream that nods to ’90s trip-hop but stays firmly focused on the future. For his Lincoln Center debut, Rare Form presents new work and classic songs from his Softcore EP.
