Community Space

Open Room
September 20, 2025 – June 24, 2026
Tuesday – Friday, Sunday | 12 – 6pm

Forge Project transforms our community space, Open Room, as a part of a year-long installation and residency, offering visitors a place for respite, exchange, and contemplation. Centering Indigenous place-based knowledges, creative practice, and critical engagement through reading lists, video works, workshops, performance and discussion-based activations open to the public throughout the residency period, the space will also host closed door convenings facilitated by and for Native people.

This season, Forge Project will house the following programs:

Saturday, September 13, 1p-5p – a story, a river, a mirror, a map: Forge Project Reading Room opening celebration

a story, a river, a mirror, a map: Forge Project Reading Room opens with a celebration in the courtyard at Performance Space New York, with food from La Morada (BX), homemade salsas, and music by HEAVY PLEASURE, alongside karaoke, exchange, and a shared table to visit as part of Forge Project’s residency at Open Room in PSNY. Guided by a map of the Mahicannituck and where its tributaries meet the sea, a story, a river, a mirror, a map is similarly a space of exchange of distinct but connecting waters, narratives, and bodies of thought.
