Marion Street Park Association Block Party！

In spite of bad weather forecast, we had a very nice day at Marion Street Park Association Block Party.

We were very pleased to set our accommodations inside the beautiful Marion Street Park. 

 Our guest artists, a Capoeira group, Ile De Palmares, held a demonstration and a workshop there.

Ile De Palmares’s demonstration on the street.

Their music and performance attracted people.

Some girl wanted to learn capoeira right away.

They held instruction workshop to kids individually at glorious lawn space of the park too.

Some kids were very enthusiastic for learning capoeira techniques. 

Our collaborator, Yuki of Home Cooking of the World, cooked Curry Noodle Soup.

She explained to people about why it is important for her project, and ingredients of the soup of the day during her cooking. 

Enjoy the food!

We set a new parasol for a play yard and priority seats area.

We set a new small private place for potty training.

A new setting with an electric pumping tool, and a fan.

Thank you Marion Street Park Association for having us!

About Ile De Palmares:

Capoeira (cap·o·ei·ra) is an Afro-Brazilian martial art disguised as a dance. It was created in the 16th century by enslaved Africans in Brazil who used it to liberate themselves. We hold classes almost every day of the week at a variety of locations throughout New York City, for both adults and children. Beginners and advanced students are welcomed. Classes are held in Long Island City, Queens; Williamsburg, Brooklyn; Lower East Side, Manhattan; and Flushing, Queens.

We are a community of like-minded individuals who support each other and strive towards understanding our true potential. Together, we are committed to a lifetime journey of mental, physical and spiritual growth.

Ready for an experience of your life? Our classes are an hour and a half which consist of a warmup, stretching, basic Capoeira movements, music and games. Arrive to class with comfortable clothing, a bottle of water and a smile.

1 Stop Family Pop Up @Mini Market!

People enjoyed a beautiful autumn day at Socrates Park. 

 We set two tents. Left is the artist’s tent and right is the lactation tent. A play yard, diaper changing table, nuts free table, priority seats, and stroller parking were aside.

There were also diapers, changing sheets, wipes, some clothes, dirty bags, and sanitizer gels on the diaper-changing table. Those supplies are the things parents need to carry when they go out with a baby. This makes it difficult to parents to visit events especially outdoors. We want to make change on it.

The guest artist Gina invited people to join her WS. Not only kids but also many adults enjoyed process of making bags with beautiful color gel. 

There was a play yard, so parents keep their toddler safe and then could participate in the art WS or, take some extra materials and enjoy cratering your art works at a home!

Thanks for Materials For The Arts for these items!

              See you again next year! Left:Rica, Right:Chrsitne and Antonio

August 26^th

From 2:00- 6:00pm

Place: Grand Concourse between 165 and 166^thstreet, The Bronx

“Absolutely Quick, Easy, and Delicious Japanese Cooking at Home!,” Food workshop and demonstration.

Making their own Japanese food ingredients by peeling cloves of garlics and soaking them in soy sauce. Demonstration of how to cook easy and delicious everyday Japanese food at home, using the same garlic infused soy sauce. 

Guest artist, Yukiyo Nagata, japanese-kitchen.net 

By cooking at home regularly, a family can afford healthier and more nutritious meals, and stretch the limited budget. My dream is to have a food van, which can prepare and offer many different cultures’ home style food at different places, particularly at economically disadvantaged area for free. By tasting unfamiliar food, we can physically experience different cultures (regardless within or outside the U.S.). 

America is getting more segregated by income, culture, religion, and race. The upward mobility in the United States is in decline. When this social system is pulling the citizens further apart and pitting the disenfranchised against each other in order to maintain the wealth of fortunate few, the rest of us have to band together and arm each other with knowledge to survive and prosper in the future. 

When many people can’t (or don’t) cross over to see “the other side”, the food van can bring “the other side” to them in order to satisfy the hunger of body and mind. 

“POKETTO”, participatory public art installation - "If you could find anything you wished in a pocket what would it be? Write it. Draw it. Leave It in a pocket. Read what others said.” 

BringPOCKETS from your precious old clothes! They could be added on the installation.

Guest artist, Hiromi Niizeki www.niizekihiromi.com

Hiromi asks people to stop for a short time and think about what is important to them and why. Participants may respond to the question by drawing, writing and/or creating small pieces of art work to leave in the pockets. 

Both workshops will be flanked by our One Stop accommodations: A private and hygenic lactation space, a diaper changing and potette area, stroller parking, and a play space. We also provide smaller chairs for children to participate in workshops.

We are very excited to announce that our One Stop Family Pop Up will appear this weekend at a community event hosted by Infirnity:

The event will have food, music, inflatables, games, arts/crafts etc.

We would love to introduce our first guest mother artist, Yoko.

She will present a "Make Your Own Reusable Beeswax Wrap" workshop.

Living with sustainable material

Reusable beeswax wraps provide an eco-friendly alternative to plastic wrap.

Making beeswax fabric wrap at home is a rewarding project, and a great way to use up scraps of old cotton fabric.

We can use recycled baby dress shirts and crib bed sheets to give them new life.

The wraps adhere to a cup, a bowl or can be used to wrap up a sandwich and left over food.

You can use a baby dress, shirts, etc. that represent your special memories. If you don't want to throw them away, this is a great way to give them new life!

Let’s end plastic pollution! We hope to see you there.

Shopping at Materials For The Arts

Alongside our accommodations, we also host a workshop for families at each event.  We are excited to announce that we have now selected our guest artists from our open call!

We arranged a trip to the Materials For The Arts  for three of our guest artists last week.

The materials they picked up will be used in their One Stop Family Pop Up workshops, free to the public.

 

We were very excited to receive these supplies at no cost!

Thanks to all of the donors and Materials For The Arts for supporting artists’ projects around NYC!

Gina Verdi, One Stop Family Pop Up guest artist: "I was focusing on flexible, shiny, and transparent items. I also got practical items: a box, some clothesline, some big envelopes with clear windows, etc for setup/directions."

"Here are the phone cases I got at MFTA. They are flexible plastic. My plan is to have people cut off the edges of the cases to make a flat piece and use them in the sensory gel bags. "

 We hope you get to join one of our workshops soon!
