SUMMARY:Imprinted: Printmaking with Pulp
DESCRIPTION:Visits to the Dieu Donné gallery can be requested on weekdays between the hours of 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. Dieu Donné is not open on the weekends. Upon confirmation of visit\, you will be sent an entry pass to enter the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Please note we require 2-3 business days notice and schedule as availability allows. \n\n\n\nDieu Donne is pleased to present Imprinted\, an exhibition exploring the application of printmaking techniques in hand papermaking. Coinciding with the presentation of the IFPDA Print Fair and the Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair\, this exhibition demonstrates the longstanding exchange between the two methods. Entirely drawn from Dieu Donné’s extensive collections archive\, the exhibition includes examples of etching\, solvent transfers\, embossing\, risograph\, letterpress\, and screenprinting. Tammy Nguyen’s work alone includes photogravure\, silkscreen\, chine collé\, rubber stamping\, and letterpress.  \n\n\n\nScreenprinting\, the most frequently featured process here\, involves pushing diluted pulp “paint” through silkscreens onto a wet base sheet. The process can achieve graphic clarity at a large scale\, as in Tatiana Ginsberg’s work\, but it is also used by Noel W Anderson and Katharine L. DeLamater to distort imagery. Matthew Kirk and John Beech use embossing to create abstract sculptural impressions\, while legendary printmaker Robert Blackburn combined etching with stenciled paper pulp to produce a grayscale composition of stacked and swirling forms. Several artists\, including Lesley Dill\, Alison Knowles\, and Suzanne McClelland\, employed various printmaking techniques to incorporate language into their work. Dieu Donné’s Founding Artistic Director\, Paul Wong\, augmented his handmade paper and laminate cast sculptures with diagrammatic illustrations that draw on his Chinese heritage. \n\n\n\nAt Dieu Donné\, paper is more than just a substrate for other mediums. This presentation demonstrates how artists working in our studio have embedded printmaking into the paper itself.

SUMMARY:Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past\, Present & Future
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past\, Present\, and Future is a permanent exhibition at Building 92 that tells the story of the Brooklyn Navy Yard from 1801\, when it was founded as one of the nation’s first federal shipyards\, through to the site’s use today as an active industrial and innovation hub that is home to hundreds of businesses. The exhibition is located across three floors inside the former residence of the Marine Commandant\, an adaptively reused building that was originally constructed in 1858. Inside the exhibition\, visitors will get an extensive history of the site through detailed wall text and a variety of artifacts and objects that span across centuries. \nThe exhibition is the first exhibition to tell the Yard’s story and was originally installed in 2011 with great community support from both organizations and neighborhood residents alike. Ultimately\, the exhibition aims to introduce contemporary audiences to the generations of people who worked\, transformed\, lived\, and shaped the Yard over time\, and who continue to build upon the storied history of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

SUMMARY:Any One Might: The Feminist Epic: A Crash Course with Emily Skillings
DESCRIPTION:“What a service to poetry it might be . . . to write a long poem\, a story poem\, with a female narrator/hero. . . . There might be recovered some sense of what mind was like before Homer\, before the world went haywire & women were denied participation in the design and making of it. Perhaps someone might discover that original mind inside herself now\, in these times. Any one might.”—Alice Notley\, “Homer’s Art” (1988) \n\n\n\nIn this course\, we will explore how modern and contemporary poets have questioned\, recast\, and reclaimed the epic\, challenging the male-dominated and patriarchal narrative structures that have come to be synonymous with this ancient form. How do these poems reinvigorate not only the subject position of epic poetry—opening up to POC\, women\, and trans perspectives—but its very technique and material in order to “look past Milton’s bogey” (Woolf) or perhaps even talk back to it? Enrolled students will read five books as well as selected abridged supplementary material. In-class writing will be a weekly part of our exploration of the texts. Students will be given a list of recommended further reading to continue their journey.  \n\n\n\nCrash Course seminars require outside reading of assigned texts. After enrolling\, students should plan to access (purchase or borrow) the following texts for reading ahead of class sessions. Students should come to the first class having read the poem “Annie Allen” by Gwendolyn Brooks and the short introduction (pp. 11-12) to erica kaufman’s Instant Classic. \n\n\n\nEmily Skillings is the author of the poetry collections Fort Not (2017) and Tantrums in Air (2025)\, both published by The Song Cave. Skillings’ recent poems can be found in Poetry\, Harper’s\, Granta\, FOLDER\, The Yale Review\, and the New York Review of Books. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available to cover the enrollment costs of Poetry Society classes. To receive and fill out a scholarship survey\, email parker@poetrysociety.org.

SUMMARY:Char Jeré Presents Planet/Tear: Early Warning Systems with Special Guests
DESCRIPTION:Planet/Tear: Early Warning Systems is a collaborative performance centered on sound\, technology\, objects\, and signal. The project imagines a world in which objects begin to sense and communicate before humans recognize what is happening. \n\n\n\nBringing together artists across disciplines\, the work unfolds as a shifting environment of unstable systems\, where sound is not simply performed but transmitted\, obstructed\, and transformed. Signals emerge\, overlap\, and dissolve\, forming a temporary network that resists fixed structure or control. \n\n\n\nInspired by boundary-pushing collaborations—including Butch Morris and David Hammons\, Camille Billops and James Hatch\, and Robert Rauschenberg with Jim McGee—the project treats performance as a living system shaped through collective action. Across these lineages\, collaboration becomes a method for pushing against the boundaries of form\, authorship\, and medium. \n\n\n\nPlanet/Tear refers both to the planet and to rupture—environmental\, social\, technological\, and emotional. Rooted in a belief in animism as an extension of intuition\, the piece asks what early warning systems already surround us\, and what might become possible if we learned how to listen. \n\n\n\nSculpture by: \n\n\n\nYehwan Songpap souleye fallSonia Rosa KahnMichael CandyMaggie BoydSéanMarcus JahmalLiz Zito \n\n\n\nMusic by: \n\n\n\nBraxtonGladstone DeluxeChar JeréBrandon E.Rena Anakwe

SUMMARY:NYTM Exhibitions: FAREwell\, MetroCard\, & The Subway Is…\, & Ticket to ride
DESCRIPTION:On view through May 31\, 2026The Subway Is…You take it to work\, to school\, or for a night out. It’s become a shorthand for New York — or urbanity in the abstract. It’s the New York City subway. It moves millions of people — and has since the day it opened on October 27th\, 1904. Using images and objects from the Museum collection\, this exhibit explores some of the endless ways to complete the sentence\, “The Subway Is…” \nTicket To RideThrough archival photographs\, ephemera\, and objects from the Transit Museum’s extensive collection\, Ticket to Ride shows the evolution of fare collection across all of New York’s modes of transportation. Visitors will see and touch different types of collection equipment such as turnstiles and fare boxes\, get a sense the colossal process of fare collection\, and see some of the people who make sure the money goes where it’s supposed to go. \nFAREwell\, MetroCard traces the rise and retirement of the iconic fare card that reshaped daily life for millions of New Yorkers. When the MetroCard debuted in 1994\, its mission was twofold: introduce new technology to the transit system and speed the elimination of tokens as a way to pay fares. In the decades that followed\, the MetroCard became almost as iconic as the token itself\, bearing safety reminders\, commemorating anniversaries\, and celebrating cultural moments. As OMNY becomes the new way to pay\, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the MetroCard’s origins\, its systemwide rollout\, the technology behind it\, and the many ways it became a cultural icon for a generation of riders.

DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past\, Present\, and Future is a permanent exhibition at Building 92 that tells the story of the Brooklyn Navy Yard from 1801\, when it was founded as one of the nation’s first federal shipyards\, through to the site’s use today as an active industrial and innovation hub that is home to hundreds of businesses. The exhibition is located across three floors inside the former residence of the Marine Commandant\, an adaptively reused building that was originally constructed in 1858.

SUMMARY:DAWN-DUSK-DAWN
DESCRIPTION:DAWN-DUSK-DAWN unfolds as a space to reconnect with the cycles of life—light and dark\, beginning and ending—as a way to reflect on regenerative practices and life-caring technologies. This project asks how we might open space to better hear what is within us\, and from there\, listen more deeply to what surrounds us. \n\n\n\nSpatially\, at its center Session artist Bel Falleiros places an immersive sculpture: a large woven vessel that visitors can enter\, a structure that holds and embraces. Surrounding it\, an evolving field of references—images and texts from poets\, scientists\, artists\, and activists—will gather over time\, gradually transforming into a constellation or mapping inspired by the night-sky. Through a sequence of public programs\, the project extends into embodied experience: hands-on art-making\, collective practices with the body\, and gatherings attuned to spirit and the senses. \n\n\n\nThis work considers what it means to remember our interdependence with each other and with the natural world\, particularly in a moment of deep environmental and social imbalance. It reflects on the cycles that are often overlooked in contemporary urban life—silence\, darkness\, uncertainty—and the ways these states can serve as generative\, life and light-making spaces. Like rest\, they offer the conditions to notice\, nurture\, and care for what is emerging. \n\n\n\nIn a time shaped by collapse and urgency\, the project proposes a shift in orientation: away from extractive systems and toward the spaces where life is sustained. New York City sits on one of the most diverse estuarine ecosystems in the world\, while also carrying one of the largest environmental footprints. What might be learned from this duality? Estuaries are nurseries—sites of nourishment\, transition\, and becoming. Can a city rooted in such a geography remember its capacity to hold and sustain life\, human and non-human alike? \n\n\n\nDAWN-DUSK-DAWN returns to the importance of intimate\, held space for reflection—alone and together. It asks how we are shaped by the conditions of this moment\, and how we might begin to heal ourselves while also tending to the environments we inhabit. Without turning away from what might come\, the project invites us to stay with the present and to trust in the regenerative capacities of both nature and ourselves. Envisioned as a refuge\, the space is inspired by the words of Ailton Krenak\, who calls for a “becoming forest” within the metropolis—a shift toward a future where life can continue. Visitors are invited to enter\, rest\, and spend time with the work as it evolves—returning across cycles\, engaging with its programs\, and carrying its questions outward.

SUMMARY:What Paper Remembers: Marks\, Memory and Labor
DESCRIPTION:Through drawing\, printmaking\, collage\, and mixed media\, the exhibition considers paper as a material that carries memory\, labor\, and cultural continuity. Paper absorbs gesture records pressure and hesitation\, time\, revision and return\, while holding traces of the hand and the persistence of ideas.  Centering practices shaped by embodied knowledge and movement across place\, the exhibition affirms paper not as a provisional surface\, but as one that remembers and endures. \nCurated by HCX fellow Yvena Despagne and Executive Director Régine M. Roumain. \n—\nFeatured Artists \nSally Yolaine Binard | Ani Brutus | Jennica Drice | Mel Isidor | Nathalie Jean-Baptiste | Rejin Leys | Julie Rouzier Mevs | Vané Russo

SUMMARY:Fundraising Film Screening PartY: The Color of Pomegranates
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, May 28\, we will be screening The Color of Pomegranates (1969)\, a film by Sergei Parajanov.  \n\n\n\nThe Color of Pomegranates is a visually stunning film calling on iconography and visual tableaus from director\, Sergei Parajanov’s own everyday. Set in Armenia during the height of the USSR\, Parajanov’s visuals follow the life of poet Sayat-Nova through a non-traditional lens of storytelling.  \n\n\n\nThis film is a reminder for us at Mitu that the most transformative art does not tell us what to think\, but rather invites us into an entirely new way of seeing. This spirit of pushing an art form past its own boundaries to catalyze new questions or insights in the viewer is exactly what drives our commitment to innovation in our own arts practice and in all our programming at Mitu. The film\, for us\, is an example of how fearless reinvention produces art that can address the intellectual\, spiritual\, and emotional all in one moment. \n\n\n\n7:30 PM – 8:00 PM Doors Open  \n\n\n\nCome early for some light bites\, drinks\, and to enjoy pre-show conversations. \n\n\n\n8:00 PM – 9:30 PM Screening  \n\n\n\nScreening includes an intermission\, guided (optional) audience participation\, and many opportunities to connect with MITU and raise money!

SUMMARY:Imprinted: Printmaking with Pulp
DESCRIPTION:Visits to the Dieu Donné gallery can be requested on weekdays between the hours of 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. Dieu Donné is not open on the weekends. Upon confirmation of visit\, you will be sent an entry pass to enter the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Please note we require 2-3 business days notice and schedule as availability allows. \n\n\n\nDieu Donne is pleased to present Imprinted\, an exhibition exploring the application of printmaking techniques in hand papermaking. Coinciding with the presentation of the IFPDA Print Fair and the Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair\, this exhibition demonstrates the longstanding exchange between the two methods. Entirely drawn from Dieu Donné’s extensive collections archive\, the exhibition includes examples of etching\, solvent transfers\, embossing\, risograph\, letterpress\, and screenprinting. Tammy Nguyen’s work alone includes photogravure\, silkscreen\, chine collé\, rubber stamping\, and letterpress.  \n\n\n\nScreenprinting\, the most frequently featured process here\, involves pushing diluted pulp “paint” through silkscreens onto a wet base sheet. The process can achieve graphic clarity at a large scale\, as in Tatiana Ginsberg’s work\, but it is also used by Noel W Anderson and Katharine L. DeLamater to distort imagery. Matthew Kirk and John Beech use embossing to create abstract sculptural impressions\, while legendary printmaker Robert Blackburn combined etching with stenciled paper pulp to produce a grayscale composition of stacked and swirling forms. Several artists\, including Lesley Dill\, Alison Knowles\, and Suzanne McClelland\, employed various printmaking techniques to incorporate language into their work. Dieu Donné’s Founding Artistic Director\, Paul Wong\, augmented his handmade paper and laminate cast sculptures with diagrammatic illustrations that draw on his Chinese heritage. \n\n\n\nAt Dieu Donné\, paper is more than just a substrate for other mediums. This presentation demonstrates how artists working in our studio have embedded printmaking into the paper itself.

SUMMARY:NYTM Exhibitions: FAREwell\, MetroCard\, & The Subway Is…\, & Ticket to ride
DESCRIPTION:On view through May 31\, 2026The Subway Is…You take it to work\, to school\, or for a night out. It’s become a shorthand for New York — or urbanity in the abstract. It’s the New York City subway. It moves millions of people — and has since the day it opened on October 27th\, 1904. Using images and objects from the Museum collection\, this exhibit explores some of the endless ways to complete the sentence\, “The Subway Is…” \nTicket To RideThrough archival photographs\, ephemera\, and objects from the Transit Museum’s extensive collection\, Ticket to Ride shows the evolution of fare collection across all of New York’s modes of transportation. Visitors will see and touch different types of collection equipment such as turnstiles and fare boxes\, get a sense the colossal process of fare collection\, and see some of the people who make sure the money goes where it’s supposed to go. \nFAREwell\, MetroCard traces the rise and retirement of the iconic fare card that reshaped daily life for millions of New Yorkers. When the MetroCard debuted in 1994\, its mission was twofold: introduce new technology to the transit system and speed the elimination of tokens as a way to pay fares. In the decades that followed\, the MetroCard became almost as iconic as the token itself\, bearing safety reminders\, commemorating anniversaries\, and celebrating cultural moments. As OMNY becomes the new way to pay\, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the MetroCard’s origins\, its systemwide rollout\, the technology behind it\, and the many ways it became a cultural icon for a generation of riders.

SUMMARY:Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past\, Present & Future
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past\, Present\, and Future is a permanent exhibition at Building 92 that tells the story of the Brooklyn Navy Yard from 1801\, when it was founded as one of the nation’s first federal shipyards\, through to the site’s use today as an active industrial and innovation hub that is home to hundreds of businesses. The exhibition is located across three floors inside the former residence of the Marine Commandant\, an adaptively reused building that was originally constructed in 1858. Inside the exhibition\, visitors will get an extensive history of the site through detailed wall text and a variety of artifacts and objects that span across centuries. \nThe exhibition is the first exhibition to tell the Yard’s story and was originally installed in 2011 with great community support from both organizations and neighborhood residents alike. Ultimately\, the exhibition aims to introduce contemporary audiences to the generations of people who worked\, transformed\, lived\, and shaped the Yard over time\, and who continue to build upon the storied history of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
