Join us at GROUNDED. A celebration to close out NYC Climate Week paying tribute to the earth and all it bears in shaping Black and Brown joy.

GROUNDED honors the interlinked nature of the sustainable practices embedded in Black and Brown musical traditions and the dance movements which root us.

Experience rhythms from the diasporas—Afro House, Afrobeats, Indo House, Soca, Reggaeton, Hip Hop, and R&B—and together we'll let the drumbeats that have sustained our communities for generations allow you to reconnect with your body and serve as a reminder that joy and sustainability are intertwined.

Come. Get GROUNDED.
