10. “The Haunting” at Astor Place Plaza, New York
To mark the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death, students, faculty, and alumni of NYU Tisch School of the Arts will present immersive public art installation combining film, theater, photography, dance, costume design, set design, and music in front of the Astor Place Cube. The piece, conceived in collaboration with For Freedoms, incorporates Day of the Dead skull iconography and will be followed by a candlelight vigil. The organizers hope the performance will serve as a ritual that will not only help keep Floyd’s memory alive, but will continue the conversation about the need for justice and reform.
