The Fall Down to Earth Artist (Sept 21 – Dec 21) is a collective comprised of DC-born musical producer Malik Thomas, and Professors Mark Cooley and Thomas Stanley, both faculty in the School of Art at George Mason University.
The Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens are beautiful at all times of the year, but their cloistered serenity stands in stark contrast to the surrounding neighborhoods and lived realities of its residents. The Fall Collective has brought the history of the people east of the river in the areas that surround the Gardens into the park by creating audio pods that chart the often-contentious relationship between people in motion and their environment.
Join us on Saturday, December 18th at 4:30 pm for the live broadcast (on YouTube) for the Fall Season episode where you can meet the Fall Collective and learn more about their residency project–Down to Earth and Up to Us Community Voices on Environmental Justice–that will be available at the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens in March of 2022 and included in the April Down to Earth Exhibit.
