Once or twice a week in the World of Tomorrow

"Once or twice a week in the World of Tomorrow" is a project that explores Corona Park, Queens, NYC. That was once held the New York World Fair, 1939 & 1964, and now serves as a destination for rest for working class and immigrant communities. The project celebrates the beauty and importance of rest, community, and ritual, and also creates powerful encounters with immigrants from Central and South America and Asia.

The work challenges ideas of worthiness, labor, home and escape by repudiating commodified and glamorized leisure and centering immigrant bodies in nature, all while highlighting the park's historical significance as a site of the World Fair and its current role as a hub for immigrant communities.
