On International Women's Day 2020, and ahead of the 64th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), we will mark this day with a global celebration to unite efforts for humanitarian and environmental justice in front of the current climate emergency.
From the the wildfires in Australia to the earthquakes in Puerto Rico, Haiti & Japan, our consciousness has been hit and our hearts touched triggering a push for collective (re) action and engagement for a truly sustainable life for all lives on the Earth.
The voices of climate refugees have yet to be echoed enough. This celebration will hence shed light on the impactful stories of those who've been affected by environmental degradation and disasters. It will feature and amplify the diverse voices of artists using different forms of artistic expression to share their own experiences and ways to overcome adversity.
They will represent the people, countries, continents, genders and generations, all feeling the effects of these natural disasters and showcasing that the impact is NOT only on specific people but universally felt by all.
Artist Line up: - Jennifer Reed ; Singer - Nicola Lo Calzo ; Photographer - Yuko Kudo ; Singer - Girasoles Creative Studio; Visual Artist - Edwin Garcia; musician - Taiko Masala; Taiko "Japanese Drum"
Free - Donations accepted. Performances will be followed by a Q&A session and networking opportunity. Drinks and snacks will be served. Join us for this joyful, inclusive, interactive and solidary celebration and experience.

MIRRORS
February 29-March 22
Next Door @NYTW
83 East 4th Street
Set in Mississippi in both 1940 and 1960, Mirrors depicts the lives of two queer African-American women bound by love, loss, family, and the secrets of their past. When 17-year-old Alma Jean finds her mother dead, she must pack up her life and move in with her mother's ex-lover, a woman she doesn't know. Her new guardian, Bird Wilson, is the town pariah and unused to sharing her home. Will mourning the death of a shared loved one bring Alma Jean and Bird together or push them further apart?

story about an ensemble of Black artists, and their experiences in the
world. A choreopoem, a genre penned by Shange herself,
uses choreography and music alongside a series of vignettes,
and lengthy monologues, to
discuss in detail the ensemble's stories on the struggles they face not
only as Black people, but as Black artists.
The production will be directed by MFA third-year director Nigel Semaj, and
feature: Olivia Battle, Jazmyn DeAnna Boone, Rebecca Ford, Racquel
Jean-Louis, Kwesiu Jones, Ian Lawrence, Phil Lopez, Jordan Mosley, and
Carla Maureen Smith.

Opened on Valentine's Day
Watch the Trailer
In 18th century France a young painter, Marianne (Noémie Merlant), is commissioned to do the wedding portrait of Héloïse (Adéle Haenel) without her knowing. Therefore, Marianne must observe her model by day to paint her portrait at night. Day by day, as the two women orbit one another, intimacy and attraction grows as they share Héloïse's last moments of freedom before the impending wedding. Héloïse's portrait soon becomes a collaborative act of and a testament to their love. Noémie and Adèle Haenel turn the subtle act of looking into a dangerous, engrossing thrill, crafting the most breathtaking and elegant performances of the year. With contemporary themes in period dress, PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE is one of the greatest love stories ever told.
