The rows take place in five-person wooden rowboats that Village Community Boathouse builds onsite. The rows last\, depending on river conditions and rower level experience\, between one and three hours.Most of these rows have mixed crews with those that have never been on the river before and some old hands.

SUMMARY:Out Loud in Public
DESCRIPTION:Writers and artists in the United States are looking for relevant creative responses to meet the new challenges in the fight for social justice and equal rights in America in 2017. \nIn her exhibition Piazza Universale / Social Stages\, currently on view through July 30th\, artist Marinella Senatore presents works that are “stages for” and “stages of” a collective social becoming\, and offers tools for individual growth and collective empowerment. \nFor Out Loud in Public\, three Queens-based writers—Jared Harél\, Meera Nair\, and KC Trommer—build on Senatore’s example\, presenting words that respond to the artist’s work\, and inviting the audience to help create a collaborative poem to reflect on and resist the challenges presented by our current political moment. \nJared Harél was awarded the 2015 Stanley Kunitz Memorial Prize from American Poetry Review as well as the 2017 William Matthews Poetry Prize from Asheville Poetry Review. His poems have appeared or are forthcoming in such journals as Tin House\, The Threepenny Review\, The Southern Review\, Massachusetts Review\, EPOCH and Ecotone.

She has won residency fellowships from the MacDowell Colony\, and writing fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts\, The New York Times\, and the Queens Council for the Arts.

SUMMARY:A Tool for Justice: Fútbol as a Social Arena
DESCRIPTION:The role of sports as a social tool is marked by the ways in which athletes challenge the structure of the game through their own representation within and beyond the field. This conversation\, focusing on fútbol\, aims to expand upon how the game is a critical and aesthetic tool that links indigenous heritage with current social issues. Moderated by Marcela Guerrero\, Assistant Curator at The Whitney Museum of American Art\, and referencing the work of Betty Bastidas\, director of Dreamtown and Ronny Quevedo’s exhibition no hay medio tiempo / there is no halftime\, the panel investigates a cultural tradition inherited from the past that cuts across several temporalities in the Americas as well as diverse local histories\, which in Ecuador includes its African diaspora and immigration to new territories. \nFollowing the panel Betty Bastida’s film Dreamtown will be screened as part of Passport Thursdays: International Dance\, Music\, and Film Series. \nModerator: Marcela Guerrero\nPanelists: Betty Bastidas and Ronny Quevedo \nBetty Bastidas is an award-winning filmmaker\, photographer and media educator based in Brooklyn\, NY. Originally from Ecuador\, came to the US at the age of nine. She uses filmmaking and photography as social tools to celebrate the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Most recently\, she completed her first international soccer feature\, Dreamtown\, following the precarious dream of a young Afro-Ecuadorian soccer player\, Anibal Chala\, as he strives to make it to the professional leagues\, and over the span of six years sees his dreams become reality. Other credits include a commissioned short film for ITVS Latino Graduates called Can’t Hold Me Back\, following Fernando\, a Latino youth from Detroit as he becomes the first in his family to earn a high school diploma. This story aired on PBS Independent Lens in 2013 and was selected to be part of the PBS Online Film Festival. She is the co-founder of a multicultural production company called Maracuya Productions focusing on stories of injustice and inspiration for underrepresented communities in the US and abroad. Her work has garnered numerous awards\, including 2013 and 2008 NALAC Fund for the Arts\, NALIP/HBO Film Grant\, Post-production grant from the CNCINE Ecuador\, New York Women in Film & Television In-kind grant\, NYFA Photography Fellowship\, and Brooklyn Council of the Arts Community Grant. She is a graduate of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and is based in Brooklyn\, NY. \nMarcela Guerrero is Assistant Curator at The Whitney Museum of American Art. From 2014 to 2017 she worked as Curatorial Fellow at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles where she had a hand in curating—with Cecilia Fajardo-Hill and Andrea Giunta—the upcoming Hammer exhibition Radical Women: Latin American Art\, 1960–1985\, for the Getty Foundation’s initiative Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA. Prior to her tenure at the Hammer\, she worked in the Latin American and Latino art department at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, where she served as research coordinator for the International Center for the Arts of the Americas. She has also written for a variety of arts publications\, such as ArtNexus\, Caribbean Intransit: The Arts Journal\, and Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature and Fine Arts. Guerrero holds a PhD in art history from the University of Wisconsin\, Madison. \nRonny Quevedo is a recipient of the 2016 Queens Museum/Jerome Foundation Fellowship for Emerging Artists. He was recently awarded a 2017 A Blade of Grass Fellowship for Socially Engaged Art and a Socrates Sculpture Park Emerging Artist Fellowship. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at The Drawing Center; The Bronx Museum of the Arts; Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston; and Emerson Gallery (Germany)\, amongst others.

SUMMARY:Capturing Carbon in Urban Soil: What's Possible in Cities
DESCRIPTION:Soil is the Earth’s largest terrestrial reservoir of carbon. Depending on land use and management approaches\, it can function as either a source or a sink of atmospheric CO2. If implemented at scale\, land management practices that enhance the sequestration capacity of soil\, such as “no-till” and high cover crop farming techniques\, hold the promise of not only slowing but also reducing present day and future net atmospheric carbon concentrations. As a consequence\, “soil sequestration” has begun to assume a greater prominence in discussions concerning anthropogenic climate change and how best to confront it. \nIn agriculture\, sequestering carbon in soil delivers many well-understood and immediate benefits in addition to potential emissions offsets. These include restored soil quality and ecosystem services; improved water and nutrient retention; reduced erosion and pollution; and increased agronomic productivity and food security.   \nBut what about cities? Indeed\, vacant\, marginal and planned green spaces are soil rich and make up a significant share of the contemporary urban environment. While less advanced in both theory and practice\, the carbon sequestration potential of soil is now being studied and pioneered in urban settings throughout the world\, including New York. \nIn this panel local soil scientists and practitioners will introduce key soil sequestration concepts; summarize emerging research findings; and provide an overview of urban restoration\, compost incorporation and other methods that aim to increase urban soil carbon\, while yielding additional pollution and waste reduction benefits. \n– See more at: http://urbangreencouncil.org/content/events/capturing-carbon-urban-soil-whats-possible-cities#sthash.Ype8Fsul.GrQu4IV5.dpuf
