Tarik Jeremiah Brown: Hush Harbor at Wave Hill

Tarik Jeremiah Brown turns Wave Hill's Sunroom into a hush harbor, a hidden place of Black worship, above the Hudson in its final days.

ArtLast chanceInstallation

Enslaved people once gathered in secluded woods to worship in secret, and Tarik Jeremiah Brown turns Wave Hill's Sunroom into a contemporary version of that hush harbor with sculpture, film and sound. Set between the woodlands and the Hudson, the piece treats the harbor as a site of arrival, protection and possibility. If you are heading to Wave Hill's gardens anyway, fit this in before it closes.

What to expect

Expect a small, immersive room in Glyndor Gallery layering sculpture, moving image and sound into a quiet, contemplative space. It takes a few minutes and pairs naturally with a walk through the gardens and the other Glyndor shows.
