Our Gates Community Performance

Join us along with our friends Alison Cook Beatty Dance and guest artists for a delightful afternoon of joyful movement, visual art, music, and reading. This free outdoor event highlights the remarkable sculptural work “Our Gates” by the incredible Marco Palli. His piece celebrates welcoming everyone in New York and is thoughtfully designed, drawing on his experience as an immigrant artist.

Meet us at the sculpture “Our Gates” located here and enjoy our performances which will feature music by our longtime collaborators 41street Ensemble.

3-5pm

Free to attend, just turn up!

Riverside Park (click here for meeting point)

The sculpture is at sea level just north of 145th. Take the multi-level stairs down from the 145th street entrance by the track/rec center.

Accessibility note: The elevator at 145th Street is not currently in operation. The closest accessible entrance is the pedestrian bridge at 151st street. Click here for a map to the bridge.

This performance is made possible with the generous support of IndieSpace.

Marco Palli, Our Gates

November 9, 2023 to August 26, 2024
Riverside Park, Manhattan

About:

Palli uses material to question his daily processes and how they engage with his identity. Expanding beyond the personal, Palli’s sculpture presents an opportunity for audiences to engage with the narratives of local versus foreign and the sense of belonging within the United States. Our Gates is a celebration of New York City and its diverse communities, utilizing interlocking arches to both welcome visitors into the community and to encourage them to pass through into a symbolic space of participation, experimentation, and intrepid opportunity.
