Meet just inside the gate to East River State Park at Kent and N. 8th Street
For the fourth and final installment of Summer Soundwalks 2019 we head across the East River — but just barely — to the Williamsburg waterfront, for a very special walk featuring “Walkie Talkie Dream Garden” (2018), composed by Dafna Naphtali, who will also be on hand to discuss her process and motivation, and to guide the soundwalk.
The full walk extends from East River State Park and north to Bushwick Inlet Park, and takes approximately 60 – 75 minutes to complete.
