NOoSPHERE Arts: We Are Nature 3: Wildflower Festival

Broadway Stages is proud to support NOoSPHERE Arts’ performance series WE ARE NATURE (WAN) that runs throughout the summer. On July 23, we look forward to enjoying visual arts, dance, and music as WAN 3: Wildflower Festival is presented at the 6th Annual Kingsland Wildflower Festival! 

On July 23, NOoSPHERE Arts continue the WE ARE NATURE 2022 (WAN) series at the 6th Annual Kingsland Wildflowers Festival where displays and performances by some of the city’s great artists will be featured. By combining arts, environmental activism, and community building, WAN aims to inspire a sense of agency and hope. The event will engage the audience with art exhibitions, performers, and wise words from scientist, activist, and best-selling author Dr. Fritjof Capra. Secure your spot by clicking here.

The rooftop spaces will be adorned with art capturing the event’s spirit. Prints by Kingsland Editions, a Greenpoint fine art screen print and publishing studio, and paintings from Sol Kjøk’s studio, Last Frontier NYC, will be on display. In the Upper Meadow, the site-specific installation, The Battle of Creation, will remain on view throughout the WAN season. The work is the creation of artist Sabrina Barrios, the inaugural winner of Broadway Stages’ Residency Award @ Kingsland Wildflowers. The artist’s work will challenge your perception of reality and interconnectivity.

The rooftops will be alive with a full slate of performances. The lineup for July 23 is as follows:

In addition to the live and visual art, Dr. Fritjof Capra will share his insights on The Web of Life with the audience at Teepee at Last Frontier NYC. Dr. Capra is the author of several books, including international bestsellers The Tao of Physics and The Turning Point. His book The Web of Life compares and contrasts physics and mysticism. His words will challenge the audience to reconsider their vision of reality and its place.
