Carlos Motta leads Bodies of Waters Rising, a one-hour visit to the Brooklyn waterfront, where he will share a fictional story about a 19th-century sailor whose ghost looms over the waters telling speculative stories about early queer life and future climate destruction in New York City.
This is an in-person event. Free and open to the public.
