Brooklyn Bridge & Brooklyn Bridge Park

New York & Brooklyn, NY — SAWCC (South Asian Women’s Creative Collective) is proud to present Ritual Traces, curated by Shelly Bahl. Monali Meher and Amina Ahmed are engaged in interdisciplinary art practices that encompass, amongst other layers, performative gestures and ritualistic movements of the female body within the natural and built environment. Both artists consider the relationship of the body to the elemental forces of air, earth, fire and water. Also important is the passage of time, repetition and engagement with the audience in moments that are ceremonial and intimate. These interactions offer the potential for profound silent conversations that oscillate between our physical existence and metaphysical yearnings.

Location: Brooklyn Bridge. Meet in the little park right by the MANHATTAN side entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge. The first performance will end at Pebble Beach in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The second performance is on the lawn (near Pebble Beach) in Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Free to the public. For more information visit: http://www.sawcc.org/
