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.

OPENING RECEPTION THURSDAY, JULY 2, 2026 from 5-8pm

BWAC at the Whale Building
14 53rd St., Third floor
Sunset Park, Brooklyn, NY 11220

(Please note that the exhibition space will be closed for the Fourth of July holiday, Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5; BWAC is exhibiting at the Whale Bldg. while searching for a new location, following the fire of Sept. 2025 that dislocated the organization from its former Red Hook home base.)
