Fire Ecologies // Environmental Response
Join Unheard-of Ensemble and the Gowanus Dredgers for the paddle-in New York premiere of full-length version of Fire Ecologies, a unique musical and visual experience that explores American landscapes through the lens of climate change.
Composer Christopher Stark and multimedia artist Zlatko Ćosić embarked on a journey across the United States capturing audio and video for this multimedia experience. The work incorporates images of the 2020 California wildfires along with imagery from Chris's trip across Montana, Oregon, and California as well as parts of Colorado. Zlatko has gathered footage from the American heartland surrounding Missouri as well as long form explorations of nature surrounding St. Louis.
The audience can immerse themselves in the experience on the Gowanus, enjoying the program from on land or on water. Limited boat access and on-water support are provided by The Gowanus Dredgers. Attendees may arrive in their own vessels.
