Walking Poetry: a guided poetry performance with Rebecca Haff Lowry and Inge Meijer in Inwood Hill Park

“History” is a collection of stories,
continually edited in circular time.
Facts adjusted.
Questions raised.
More voices found.
We loop back,
revise and jump to our shared future.

Poet Rebecca Haff Lowry (Delaware Tribe of Indians) and ISCP artist-in-residence Inge Meijer (The Netherlands) will present a poetry performance walk, visiting various locations in Inwood Hill Park in Lenapehoking (Manhattan). New voices are explored through movement and sound in performances that celebrate the return of Lenape peoples to their homeland, Lenapehoking.

The walk begins at 2:00pm on Saturday, October 11 and Sunday, October 12 at the Inwood Hill Park Nature Center, 600 West 218th Street, New York, NY. Please note that unpaved paths and inclines are present on the route. Space is limited. Please RSVP here for either date.

Inge Meijer’s practice revolves around stories rooted in her mother’s youth on a tenant farm, a topography altered by generations from which a deep knowing arises of the interdependence we share with all forms of life. Through collaborations, performances, and publications Meijer seeks to translate this heritage into experiences, fostering an intimate connection between viewer and environment. She continues to research how familial memory can enhance our understanding of collective identity and the ecosystems we live in.

Rebecca Haff Lowry is a citizen of the Delaware Tribe of Indians, headquartered in Bartlesville, OK. Her poetry is featured in Lenapehoking, an Anthology, produced by the Brooklyn Public Library and the Lenape Center, and currently, her work The Cape of a Matriarch (2021), made from turkey feathers, beads and shells, is on view in Brooklyn Made at the Brooklyn Museum. Lowry is also a curriculum writer and project manager, who works with partners across the state of California to support the production of California’s K-12 Native American Studies Model Curriculum, a free open resource for all.

This program is supported by DutchCulture USA; Friends of Inwood Hill Park; and Mondriaan Fund.

The First Act: Nifemi Ogunro in Conversation with Paul Galloway

In conjunction with the exhibition Nifemi Ogunro: The First Act, artist Nifemi Ogunro will speak with curator Paul Galloway about her material investigations and the works she produced for this presentation. They will also discuss how Ogunro reconsiders and pushes against the corporeal perspective when creating her functional sculptures.

Brooklyn-based designer and sculptor Nifemi Ogunro (b. 1995, Lyon, France) describes her works as functional sculptures. Her design process gives equal consideration for both the bodies that interact with these objects and the forms of the objects themselves. While wood is her primary medium, Ogunro draws inspiration from photography, film, performance, and movement. She has exhibited work at Side Gallery, Barcelona, Spain; and Marta Gallery, Los Angeles, CA among other venues, and her work is in collections including at the Denver Art Museum, Colorado. Ogunro is a 2025 recipient of The New York Community Trust’s Edward and Sally Van Lier Fund Residency at ISCP.

Paul Galloway is the Senior Collection Specialist for the Architecture & Design Department at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). During his time at MoMA he has curated Designer’s Choice: Norman Teague—Jam Sessions and co-curated the exhibitions Never Alone: Video Games and Other Interactive Design and Automania. Galloway has authored and contributed to multiple MoMA publications, including Shigetaka Kurita: Emoji, as well as catalogs from the Fondation Louis Vuitton and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

This program is supported by The New York Community Trust’s Edward and Sally Van Lier Fund; Hartfield Foundation; James Rosenquist Foundation; Joe Sultan; Lèna Saltos; Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation; New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso; New York City Council District 34; New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature; Dr. Samar Maziad; Sarah Jones; van Beuren Charitable Foundation; William Talbott Hillman Foundation; and Woodman Family Foundation.
