On Our Roof

The Guardians

The Phoenix –

The Guardians is a creative installation by Mark Wilson Jr (artist) and Miguel Valderrama (lighting designer) honoring the small businesses, cultural organizations, and nonprofits who help sustain community and connection in the East Village / Loisaida neighborhood.

The Guardians, a series of illuminated sculptures assembled from recycled sneakers and other materials, will in the end be placed at a dozen locations across the East Village/Loisaida neighborhood— each with a story to tell about the people and places that have, and continue to, represent the ethos of guardianship.

wildprojectTV

wildprojectTV gives artists and creators across theater, dance, film, spoken word, music, and visual arts the resources to transform their theater content into impactful films, live-streams, and theater-on-film using wild project’s 89-seat theater as a production sound stage.
