THE YEAR CONTINUED WITH A DIVERSE RANGE OF EXHIBITIONS WHICH APPEALED TO AND ENGAGED OUR EQUALLY DIVERSE AUDIENCES, DETAILED BELOW. PATTY CHANG: THE WANDERING LAKE (SEPTEMBER 17, 2017 - MARCH 4, 2018) PATTY CHANG, A PERFORMANCE AND VIDEO ARTIST MOST KNOWN FOR PROBING TABOOS, STEREOTYPES, AND CULTURAL MYTHS, UTILIZES ELEMENTS OF HUMOR AND SHOCK TO CHALLENGE ASSUMPTIONS AND EXAMINE HUMANITY THROUGH HER WORK. IN SEPTEMBER 2017, QM OPENED THE ARTIST'S THE WANDERING LAKE. A NEW MULTIMEDIA INSTALLATION OF CHANG'S MOST EXTENSIVE PROJECT TO DATE, THE WANDERING LAKE REDEFINED THE ROLE OF ARTISTS, IMAGES, AND PERFORMANCE THROUGH THE WAY STORIES ARE TOLD. CONSISTING OF VIDEO, INSTALLATION, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND OTHER EPHEMERAL DOCUMENTATION OF CHANG'S RECENT WORK, THE EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTED ISSUES OF PERSONAL EVOLUTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE. THE WANDERING LAKE INCLUDED FILMS OF THE ARTIST PERFORMING RITUAL WASHINGS OF A DESERTED BOAT FROM THE ARAL SEA - ONCE THE FOURTH LARGEST INLAND SEA BEFORE THE SOVIETS ATTEMPTED TO CONVERT THE AREA INTO COTTON PRODUCTION FIELDS, AND A BEACHED WHALE CORPSE OFF THE COAST OF NEWFOUNDLAND - A THRIVING FISHING FLEET BEFORE OVERFISHING CEASED OPERATIONS. THESE FILMS, AS WELL AS CHANG'S OTHER INTERVENTIONS, REFLECT RADICALLY CHANGING LANDSCAPES AND EXAMINE HOW HUMANITY'S PURSUIT OF INDUSTRIAL CAPITALISM INCREASINGLY AFFECTS NATURE. TO COMPLEMENT THE EXHIBITION, ON OCTOBER 8, 2017 THE ARTIST ENGAGED IN A CONVERSATION WITH ARTIST, THEORIST, AND HISTORIAN JILL CASID ABOUT THE EXHIBITION AND THE EPONYMOUS ARTIST BOOK, THE TWO DISTINCT REPRESENTATIONS OF NARRATIVE AND PERFORMANCE THAT ORGANICALLY INFORM AND CONSTRUCT EACH OTHER. CASID, A PROFESSOR OF VISUAL STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON, HAS WRITTEN EXTENSIVELY ON LANDSCAPE AND PERFORMANCE. THE EXHIBITION WAS WELL RECEIVED BY THE PUBLIC AND PRESS, GAINING A GREAT DEAL OF RECOGNITION IN MAJOR PUBLICATIONS, INCLUDING THE NEW YORK TIMES, ART IN AMERICA, AND HYPERALLERGIC, AND INFLUENCING QM TO EXTEND THE RUN OF THE SHOW BY TWO WEEKS FROM FEBRUARY 18 TO MARCH 4. LOUIS BURY OF HYPERALLERGIC EXPRESSED "[THE BOOK] AS A WHOLE, EVOCATIVELY INTEGRATES THE PROJECT'S MULTITUDE OF DISCURSIVE REGISTERS. IF THE EXHIBITION IS LIKE A PARTIALLY COMPLETED JIGSAW PUZZLE, THEN THE BOOK, WITH ITS IMBRICATED LAYERS OF IMAGE AND TEXT, IS AN IMAGE OF THE COMPLETED PUZZLE." SABLE ELYSE SMITH: ORDINARY VIOLENCE (SEPTEMBER 17, 2017 - FEBRUARY 18, 2018) SABLE ELYSE SMITH'S PROJECT CONTINUED HER ONGOING EXPLORATION OF THE TRAUMA AND EMOTIONAL VIOLENCE INFLICTED UPON INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR LOVED ONES. MINING HER OWN EXPERIENCES OF VISITING HER FATHER IN PRISONS FOR THE PAST 19 YEARS, SMITH PRESENTED A COMBINED MEDIA INSTALLATION INVOLVING VIDEO, NEON AND LIGHTBOX SCULPTURES, WALL-COLLAGE, AND TEXT ELEMENTS TO VISUALIZE THE WAYS AN IMPERSONAL BUREAUCRATIC SYSTEM OF INCARCERATION TAKES EFFECTS ON THE BODIES AND MINDS OF THE EXTENDED NETWORK OF PEOPLE BOUND TO IT. WE ALSO PRESENTED TWO PERFORMANCES IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE EXHIBITION'S OPENING. FIRST, ARTIST DEVIN KENNY PERFORMED IF I DON'T LAUGH/ TARDA..., A POWERFUL SONIC PERFORMANCE INCORPORATING MUSIC AND SPOKEN WORD THAT ADDRESSES THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE WIDENED ACCESS TO IMAGES OF "BLACK SUFFERING THAT DIRECTLY RESULTS FROM THE MACHINATIONS OF WHITE SUPREMACY: THE U.S. PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX AND POLICE STATE, AND THE AFTERMATH OF COLONIALISM AND CHATTEL SLAVERY." KENNY'S PERFORMANCE CALLED INTO QUESTION THE ECONOMY THAT HAS DEVELOPED AROUND THE CIRCULATION OF THESE IMAGES AS INTERNET CONTENT, EXPLORING THE SINISTER ASPECTS OF THIS INCREASED VISIBILITY, INCLUDING ISSUES OF APPROPRIATION AND EXPLOITATION. IN THE SECOND PERFORMANCE, BONITA OLIVER OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC DUO FRENCH LEAVE, AND MUSICIAN SIMONE TYSON LIVESCORED SMITH'S NINE CHANNEL VIDEO WORK, UNTITLED: FATHER DAUGHTER DANCE, 2013 - 2017, USING VOICE, METER, PITCH, PAUSE, AND IN THE ARTIST'S OWN WORDS, "THE TEXTURE OF A WEIGHT WHICH RESIDES IN THE BODYAFTER WHICH, JUST THE SILENCE WILL REMAIN." THE EXHIBITION RECEIVED A NUMBER OF REVIEWS IN ACCREDDICTED PUBLICATIONS SUCH AS BOMB, HYPERALLERGIC, AND ARTNEWS. SMITH ALSO EARNED THE TITLE OF "ARTIST TO WATCH" BY THE NEW YORK TIMES AND ONE OF THE 30 UNDER 35 YOUNG ARTISTS TO WATCH IN 2018 BY CULTURED. RABIA ASHFAQUE OF BOMB WROTE, "SMITH PAINSTAKINGLY INVESTIGATES THE EFFECTS OF CAPTIVITY AND SUBMISSION TO AUTHORITY, BOTH ON THE INCARCERATED AND THEIR LOVED ONES, WHILE ALSO EXPLORING NOTIONS OF LABORPHYSICAL AND MENTALAND THE TOLL THEY TAKE ON BOTH PARTIES." IN ADDITION TO THIS PRESS RECOGNITION, A NUMBER OF SMITH'S PIECES WERE PURCHASED. IN FACT, TWO PHOTO COLLAGE WORKS FROM THE SHOW, 7665 DAYS (2017) AND 7665 NIGHTS (2017), WERE ACQUIRED BY THE WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART. SINCE THE QM EXHIBITION, SMITH HAS ALSO PARTICIPATED IN TRIGGER AT THE NEW MUSEUM, FICTIONS AT THE STUDIO MUSEUM, AND GLASS CEILING: ART OF RESILIENCE AND FRAGILITY AT AGNES VARIS ART CENTER. SMITH WAS ALSO SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SESSIONS PROGRAM AT RECESS ART. JULIA WEIST: 17.(SEPT) [BY WEIST_SIR RECORDS]TM (SEPTEMBER 17, 2017 - FEBRUARY 18, 2018) FOR THIS PROJECT, AMERICAN ARTIST JULIA WEIST COLLABORATED WITH CUBAN ARTIST NESTOR SIR TO EXPLORE CUBA'S THE LACK OF ACCESSIBLE INTERNET AND THE SYSTEMIC ALTERNATIVES THAT HAVE DEVELOPED IN PLACE OF CONNECTIVITY. THE PAIR PRESENTED WORKS CREATED FOR, AND ALSO ABOUT, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT OF THESE PHENOMENAEL PAQUETE SEMANALA 1 TERABYTE DIGITAL MEDIA COLLECTION, AGGREGATED WEEKLY AND CIRCULATED ACROSS THE COUNTRY VIA IN- PERSON FILE SHARING. THE CENTERPIECE OF 17.(SEPT) [BY WEISTSIRPC]TM IS A 64 TERABYTE SERVER CONTAINING 52 WEEKS OF EL PAQUETE SEMANAL. IT IS THE ONLY FORMALIZED ARCHIVE OF THE PAQUETE AND ITS CONSTRUCTION AND DEPLOYMENT WAS DESIGNED AROUND THE LEGAL AND LOGISTICAL RESTRICTIONS OF THE CHANGING US-CUBA RELATIONS OVER THE LAST YEAR. IN ORDER TO CREATE THIS "LEGAL PAQUETE" THE ARTISTS SENT THOUSANDS OF EMAILS TO SECURE PERMISSION FROM COPYRIGHT HOLDERS OF CONTENT FROM THE WEEK OF AUGUST 8, 2016 TO MAKE THIS DISTRIBUTION PERMISSIBLE ACCORDING TO U.S. COPYRIGHT LAWS. EVERY THIRD SUNDAY THAT THE EXHIBITION WAS ON VIEW A PAQUETERA, OR PAQUETE AGENT/GUIDE, WASS AVAILABLE TO GUIDE VISITORS THROUGH DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT THAT THEY CAN TAKE HOME.

SINCE THE SUCCESS OF THIS SHOW, WEIST HAS BEEN INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE GWANGJU BIENNIAL AND BOTH WEIST AND SIR WERE INVITED TO PRODUCE A RELATED PROJECT FOR RHIZOME'S ONGOING SERIES, THE DOWNLOAD. QM HAS ALSO SUPPORTED WEIST IN CONVERSATIONS WITH INSTITUTIONS INTERESTED IN POTENTIALLY ACQUIRING WEIST'S WORK INCLUDING THE MUSEUM OF MOVING IMAGE AND THE BENSON LATIN AMERICAN COLLECTION, UT AUSTIN LIBRARIES. IN ADDITION TO THIS SUCCESS, WEIST WORK RECEIVED A GREAT DEAL OF ATTENTION FROM THE PRESS AND WAS WRITTEN UP IN PUBLICATIONS INCLUDING ART IN AMERICA, MOUSSE MAGAZINE, AND HYPERALLERGIC. NEVER BUILT NEW YORK (SEPTEMBER 17, 2017 - FEBRUARY 18, 2018) NEVER BUILT NEW YORK INVITED VISITORS TO DISCOVER THE NEW YORK CITY THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THROUGH ORIGINAL PRINTS, DRAWINGS, MODELS, INSTALLATIONS, ANIMATIONS, AND CUSTOM MADE GHOST FORMATIONS ON QM'S PANORAMA OF THE CITY OF NY OF POTENTIAL NYC STRUCTURES THAT WERE NEVER BUILT. CO-CURATED BY SAM LUBELL AND GREG GOLDIN AND DESIGNED BY CHRISTIAN WASSMANN, THE EXHIBITION WAS ORGANIZED IN THREE PARTS LOCATED IN THE RUBIN GALLERY, ON THE PANORAMA, AND SURROUNDING THE MUSEUM'S CENTRAL SKYLIGHT GALLERY, WHERE A "BOUNCY CASTLE" VERSION OF ELIOT NOYES' WESTINGHOUSE PAVILION SAT, ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR THE 1964 WORLD'S FAIR.

OUR ONGOING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ARE CORE TO THE MUSEUM AND WE CONSTANTLY BUILD AND ADAPT OUR OFFERINGS IN RESPONSE TO THE CHANGING NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. IN- AND AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS THIS YEAR, IN-SCHOOL RESIDENCIES UTILIZED OUR PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS, INCLUDING NEVER BUILT NEW YORK, THE PANORAMA OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, AND THE NEUSTADT COLLECTION OF TIFFANY GLASS TO HELP PARTNER SCHOOLS ACCOMPLISH THEIR INDIVIDUALIZED ARTS EDUCATION GOALS. THESE RESIDENCIES PROVIDED PARTICIPATING CLASSES WITH HANDS-ON ARTS INSTRUCTION, TAILORED SUPPORT FROM A HIGHLY SKILLED QM TEACHING ARTISTS, AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCHOOL-WIDE ENGAGEMENT THROUGH QM TOURS AND TEACHER TRAININGS. RESIDENCIES CULMINATED WITH AN END-OF-YEAR SHOW AT THE PARTNER SCHOOL OR IN QM'S PARTNERSHIP GALLERY, BRINGING TOGETHER STUDENTS, TEACHERS, AND FAMILIES TO VIEW WORK CREATED BY STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. ARTACCESS THROUGH IN-SCHOOL RESIDENCIES AT PUBLIC SCHOOLS; PARTNERSHIPS WITH QUEENS COMMUNITY HOUSE, THE HEBREW ACADEMY FOR SPECIAL CHILDREN, AND HOSPITAL SCHOOLS SUCH AS ST. MARY'S HOSPITAL; ON-SITE WORKSHOPS AND TOURS; AND OPEN ART STUDIOS, QM PROVIDED INDIVIDUALS OF ALL ABILITIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE WITH OUR EXHIBITIONS AND TAKE PART IN VARIOUS ART-MAKING ACTIVITIES THAT COMPLEMENT QM SHOWS AND INSPIRE ARTISTS TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN ART PRACTICE. ADDITIONALLY, EACH SEMESTER QM OFFERS INTERNSHIPS TO COLLEGE STUDENTS IN SPECIAL INCLUSION PROGRAMS OR TO YOUNG ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES TRANSITIONING FROM SCHOOL TO POST SCHOOL LIFE. CREATIVE IMAGINATION, PILOTED IN 2017, IS ONE OF QM'S NEWEST ARTACCESS INITIATIVES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH ALZHEIMER'S AND MEMORY LOSS AS WELL AS THEIR CAREGIVERS. QM RECOGNIZED THAT THESE INDIVIDUALSESPECIALLY THOSE LIVING IN QUEENSDID NOT HAVE ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN STIMULATING CULTURAL ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE OF THEIR CARE HOMES AND OTHER CLINICAL SETTINGS. THIS LACK OF PROGRAMMING, UNFORTUNATELY, CAN CONTRIBUTE TO DEPRESSION, ISOLATION, AND QUICKER PHYSICAL DETERIORATION OF INDIVIDUALS WITH ALZHEIMER'S AND MEMORY LOSS, WHILE ALSO ADDING TO THE BURDEN PLACED ON CAREGIVERS. THROUGH CREATIVE IMAGINATION, QM PROVIDES ARTS PROGRAMMING FOR THESE COMMUNITIES IN ORDER TO POSITIVELY AFFECT THE LIVES OF SENIORS IN QUEENS BY INSPIRING THEM TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES CREATIVELY AND TO SOCIALIZE, AS WELL AS SUPPORTING CAREGIVERS. DESIGNED AND IMPLEMENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH QUEENS COMMUNITY HOUSE, CREATIVE IMAGINATION CONSISTS OF ON- AND OFF-SITE ARTS-BASED WORKSHOPS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH ALZHEIMER'S AND MEMORY LOSS AS WELL AS DISTINCT WORKSHOPS FOR THEIR CAREGIVERS. QUEENS TEENS THIS YEAR, ABOUT 30 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS MET SATURDAY AFTERNOONS TO EXPLORE SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUES THROUGH ART MAKING, RECEIVE COLLEGE READINESS SUPPORT, PARTICIPATE IN FIELD TRIPS, ACT AS MUSEUM DOCENTS, ATTEND VARIOUS QM EVENTS, AND SUPPORT MUSEUM PROGRAMS AS PAID APPRENTICES. FAMILY PROGRAMS EACH SUNDAY, ABOUT 20 FAMILIES PARTICIPATE IN VARIOUS WORKSHOPS CONDUCTED IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH THAT INSPIRE CREATIVITY. SUCCESSFUL WORKSHOPS THIS YEAR HAVE INCLUDED PRINTMAKING, CREATING GLOW IN THE DARK SHADOW BOXES, AND LANTERN MAKING. OUR DANCE WORKSHOPS, OFFERED ON THE LAST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH, WERE PARTICULARLY ENGAGING AND PROVIDED YOUTH AND FAMILIES INFORMATION ON THE HISTORY OF DIFFERENT STYLES OF DANCE AND STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS. ON THE THIRD SUNDAY OF THE MONTH, ART THERAPISTS FACILITATE THE PROGRAM TO ENSURE IT IS FULLY ACCESSIBLE TO FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN OF ALL ABILITIES. NEW NEW YORKERS WITH ABOUT HALF THE HOUSEHOLDS IN QUEENS HEADED BY FOREIGN-BORN INDIVIDUALS, OUR INITIATIVE FOR RECENT IMMIGRANTSNEW NEW YORKERSREPRESENTS OUR STEADFAST COMMITMENT TO SERVING LOCAL COMMUNITIES. NEW NEW YORKERS OFFERS FREE MULTILINGUAL CLASSES AND PROGRAMS FOR ADULT IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN QUEENS, BROADENING HORIZONS AND BUILDING VALUABLE LIFE SKILLS THROUGH THE ARTS. THIS YEAR, THE NEW NEW YORKERS PROGRAM OFFERED MULTI-DAY COURSES, ONE-DAY WORKSHOPS, FIELD TRIPS, PUBLIC EVENTS, AND OUR NEWLY PILOTED MENTORING STUDIO PROGRAM. SUCCESSFUL MULTI-SESSION WORKSHOPS INCLUDED COURSES SUCH AS SUN PRINT BOOKMAKING OFFERED IN MANDARIN, ADVANCED SCULPTURE OFFERED IN SPANISH, AND KOREAN PAINTING ON WOOD PANEL OFFERED IN KOREAN. THESE COURSES DREW MANY RETURNING NEW NEW YORKERS AS WELL AS A NEW PARTICIPANTS, AND GAVE A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF THE PRACTICES BEING TAUGHT. ONE DAY WORKSHOPS WERE PARTICULARLY USEFUL IN DRAWING NEW PARTICIPANTS BY ALLOWING THEM TO GET A FEEL FOR THE PROGRAM THROUGH A LOW COMMITMENT SESSION. SOME ONE-DAY WORKSHOPS INCLUDED INTRO TO COLLAGE OFFERED IN SPANISH, INTRO TO THE HORROR GENRE IN MANDARIN, AND INTRO TO GENERATIVE ART IN ENGLISH. THE MENTORING STUDIO PROGRAM, WHICH OFFERED INTENSIVE AND PERSONALIZED ATTENTION TO A SMALL GROUP OF NEW NEW YORKERS, WAS ALSO A SUCCESSFUL OFFERING THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OUT IN THE COMING YEARS. MOLMOL KUO AND JUAN RECAMN SERVED AS THE TEACHING ARTISTS FOR THIS PROGRAM, EACH BRINGING THEIR PERSONAL PRACTICE TO THEIR MENTORING. SIMILAR TO DEVELOPING A THESIS, PARTICIPANTS CAME OUT OF THE PROGRAM WITH A BODY OF WORK THAT ENABLED THEM TO THOROUGHLY EXPLORE ART AND MEDIA. 907847 51250 PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENTQM IS AN ARTS, EDUCATIONAL, AND CULTURAL INSTITUTION LOCATED NEXT TO ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE, VIBRANT, DENSE, FAST GROWING, AND PREDOMINANTLY IMMIGRANT NEIGHBORHOODS IN NEW YORK CITY. AS SUCH, WE SEE IT AS NATURAL AND NECESSARY THAT WE LEVERAGE OUR RESOURCES TO HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON THE COMMUNITY WE OCCUPY. IMI CORONA:IMI CORONA SEEKS TO BE SOURCE IN THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE DIRECT SERVICE OFFERINGS, SUCH AS HOMEWORK HELP AND TRANSLATION SERVICES, WHILE ALSO A BEACON FOR LARGER SCALE ORGANIZING AND ADVOCACY WORK. FOR EXAMPLE, AS THE POLITICAL CLIMATE HAS SHIFTED IN PALPABLY ANTI-IMMIGRANT AND XENOPHOBIC WAYS, IMI CORONA RESPONDED BY JOINING A HATE FREE ZONE THAT HAD BEEN ESTABLISHED IN CORONA. HATE FREE ZONES HELP NEIGHBORHOODS BUILD A COMMUNITY DEFENSE SYSTEM THAT WILL ALLOW US FOR RAPID DEFENSE FROM WORKPLACE RAIDS, DEPORTATIONS, MASS CRIMINALIZATION, VIOLENCE, AND SYSTEMIC VIOLATION OF RIGHTS AND DIGNITY. IMI CORONA PARTNERED WITH NEARBY ORGANIZATION DESIS RISING UP AND MOVING (DRUM) TO HOLD SEVERAL WORKSHOPS WHERE THESE STRATEGIES WERE INTEGRATED INTO ARTMAKING ACTIVITIES. THIS YEAR, IMI CORONA COLLABORATED WITH GLOBAL ACTION PROJECT'S (GAP) COMMUNITY MEDIA IN ACTION PROGRAM TO DEVELOP A COURSE CO-TAUGHT BY A IMI YOUTH FAMILIAR WITH GAP METHODOLOGY AND A PROFESSIONAL GAP EDUCATOR, AND CULMINATED WITH THE PRODUCTION OF A SHORT VIDEO ENTITLED "LOST KIDS OF CORONA: FINDING IMI." THE VIDEO WAS DEVELOPED BY A GROUP OF ABOUT 15 INDIVIDUALS, A THIRD OF WHOM WERE YOUTH, AND SOME OF WHOM WERE ALSO MEMBERS OF OTHER LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS DRUM AND UGNAYAN YOUTH. THE VIDEO PREMIERED AT QM'S THEATER IN OCTOBER 2017, AT IMI CORONA AND DRUM'S OFFICES, AND AT A HATE FREE ZONE COALITION TOWN HALL. THE PROJECT HELPED PARTICIPANTS BUILD MEDIA LITERACY SKILLS AND INITIATED CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW COMMUNITIES CAN PRACTICE SELF-DEFENSE FOR UNDOCUMENTED RESIDENTS. QM ALSO SUPPORTED THE START OF QUEREMOS TEATRO (WE WANT THEATER) WORKSHOPS WITH IMI COMMUNITY ORGANIZER AND LOCAL ARTIST CAROLINA VARELA. THIS PAST YEAR, WORKSHOPS MET TWICE A WEEK AND UTILIZED POPULAR THEATER TO PRACTICE ACTING SKILLS AND EXPLORE IMMIGRANT RIGHTS. DURING THESE SESSIONS, PARTICIPANTS CREATED A PLAY USING PERSONAL STORIES ABOUT HOW THE CORONA COMMUNITY IS AFFECTED BY ANTI-IMMIGRATION POLICIES AND INCORPORATING INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO HANDLE INTERACTIONS WITH IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT (ICE). CORONA PLAZA ORGANIZING FESTIVALS IS AN INTEGRAL WAY OF ENGAGING WITH THE GREATER QUEENS COMMUNITY AND REACHING INDIVIDUALS OF DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS. THESE EVENTS PROVIDE SAFE PUBLIC SPACES FOR INTERGENERATIONAL GATHERING, WHILE CELEBRATING CULTURAL AND RACIAL DIVERSITY AND ENGAGING INDIVIDUALS OF ALL ABILITIES. CORONA PLAZA, OUR TYPICAL NEIGHBORHOOD VENUE FOR THESE EVENTS, HAS BEEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND WILL CONTINUE TO UNDERGO RENOVATIONS THROUGH JUNE 2018. DUE TO THIS FACT, WE HELD FOUR COMMUNITY FESTIVALS IN DIFFERENT PARKS AND STREET AREAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS INITIAL CHALLENGE PRESENTED A POSITIVE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS TO THE AREAS SURROUNDING THESE NEW VENUES. THE MAIN GOAL OF THESE FESTIVALS WAS TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH A SPACE TO RELAX AND CELEBRATE, DESPITE FACING CONCERNS ABOUT THE CURRENT POLITICAL CLIMATE. THIS YEAR, THE FESTIVALS WERE CENTERED AROUND THE THEME "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL AND PROVIDED COMMUNITY RESIDENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN ARTMAKING ACTIVITIES. ADDITIONALLY, THE EVENTS OFFERED COMMUNITY MEMBERS INFORMATION ABOUT NUTRITION AND WELLNESS, AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES TO RECEIVE CONSULTATIONS FROM LEGAL SERVICE PROVIDERS. QUEREMOS TEATRO SKITS WERE PERFORMED AT THE TWO MOST RECENT EVENTS, IMI CORONA'S IMMIGRANT RIGHTS IN SCHOOLS COLORING BOOK WAS SHARED, AND MANY PARTNER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TABLE, INCLUDING ICE FREE QUEENS, QUEENS NEIGHBORHOOD UNITED, AND NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING SERVICES. MUJERES EN MOVIMIENTO, ONE OF THE COLLECTIVES AT IMI CORONA, ATTENDED EACH FESTIVAL AND DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION ABOUT MAYOR'S OFFICE OF IMMIGRANT AFFAIRS' (MOIA) SERVICES FOR IMMIGRANTS. THIS INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION WAS A PART OF THE PROJECT CYCLENEWS, A COLLABORATION BETWEEN MUJERES EN MOVIMIENTO AND MOIA ARTIST IN RESIDENCE, TANIA BRUGUERA. PRIOR TO EACH EVENT, QM AND IMI CORONA HANDED OUT FLYERS AND KNOCKED ON DOORS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO SPREAD THE WORD. GIVEN THAT MANY LOCAL RESIDENTS TEND TO MOVE APARTMENTS FREQUENTLY DUE TO HOUSING INSECURITY AND INCOME INSTABILITY, WE DISCOVERED THAT TEXT MESSAGING (RATHER THAN MAIL OR EMAIL) WAS THE BEST WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR BASE. AS A RESULT, IMI CORONA INSTITUTED A TEXT MESSAGING ANNOUNCEMENT SYSTEM, AND DUE TO CONSISTENT OUTREACH EFFORTS, SUBSCRIPTIONS INCREASED FROM 250 AT THE END OF 2016 TO 1007 AT THE END OF 2017. CORONA RESIDENT NETWORK & EMERGENCY PLANNING IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH PRODUCTIVE ORGANIZING WITHIN A COMMUNITY, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE A STRONG NETWORK OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO SUPPORT THESE EFFORTS. TO THIS END, QM SOUGHT TO BUILD A NETWORK OF CORONA RESIDENTS TO PLAN RAPID RESPONSE CULTURAL EVENTS TO TACKLE POLICY CHANGES REGARDING PUBLIC SPACE, SAFETY, AND EDUCATION.
