Lights, camera, action! 🎥 This week, the High Line Network held its New York City premiere of Ezra Wube's "PROJECT ECOPOLIS," a compilation of four short films commissioned by the High Line Network, with support from High Line Art. Wube collaborated with the High Line and three other High Line Network partners—GROW GREATER ENGLEWOOD (Chicago, IL), Buffalo Bayou Partnership (Houston, TX), and Friends of Waterfront Park (Seattle, WA)—to produce a short stop-motion film inspired by each site. Thank you to our panelists Gabriella Malavé, Karen Farber, Jordan Remington, Gloria I Rivera, and Tanya Ward for joining us for the inaugural New York City screening of "PROJECT ECOPOLIS." It was an exuberent display of animations and scenes of daily life, and we are grateful to all the High Line Network representatives who showcased the spirit of their sites. The series of films will tour participating Network sites in 2024 and 2025, serving as a traveling exhibition to inspire conversations, forge connections, and celebrate community resilience. The Joint Art Initiative explores how High Line Network members can leverage local communities and artists to provoke conversations around public art. 📺 "PROJECT ECOPOLIS" 📍 On the High Line at 14th Street 📆 November 18, 2024 - January 7, 2025 🎫 https://bit.ly/4hAbHJD
