Between Two Waterfronts: A Brooklyn Landscape

The waterfront reflects the broader Brooklyn landscape. It is shaped by industry, development, climate pressure, and displacement, but also by resilience, adaptation, and everyday life. It is a place of contrast, industrial and residential, built and changing, visible and overlooked.

In Between Two Waterfronts: A Brooklyn Landscape, BWAC member artists considered the Brooklyn waterfront as both a lived environment and a symbolic space, where land meets water, industry meets community, and histories of labor, migration, and culture are shaped by ongoing urban change.
