Mercedes is a visually arresting recreation of Mercedes' Bushwick home as a VR tour led by Mercedes’ “voice,” inviting viewers to journey through the tangible objects and emotional depths of the house. Through this new VR format, Flako, director Kevin Torres, and their team reveal the intimate nature of caring for a loved one with memory loss, and highlight the challenges those living with dementia and their caregivers face finding support and community.

The Poet’s Corner is a FREE workshop for teens and adults meant to empower participants in writing creatively with different styles of poetry and structures.

Led by a different poet every session, the program aims to create a nurturing space for emerging poets and writers to document their own stories and emotions. Writers create unique pieces at every workshop and are encouraged to participate in an open mic session at the end of that same session.

The Reading Corner is a free monthly program for children between the ages of 5-12. Once a month we’ll be gathering online to read and discuss a book together. Each month we’ll notify you of what the reading selection for that month is and when our next meeting will be. Books are not required to participate.

Come kick it with us every month at our Reading Corner created in partnership with our friends at Perfect City!
