What does the Wallkill River look like 50 years from now, 100 years from now, 1000 years from now, after climate change? Artist Lize Mogel invites you to imagine fantastic scenarios about the social, environmental, and political future of the Wallkill River, and to create short videos enacting those speculative futures in, on, and around the river. The videos will be part of a community-created artwork for the Wallkill Futures exhibition at Unison Arts in New Paltz this summer.
Your video can be: DIY, narrative, abstract, non-linear, literal, metaphoric, live action, cosplay, animation, AI, poetic, sound, noise, color, dramatic, deadpan, viral, evocative, story-telling, impressionistic, cinematic, solarpunk, camp, newscast, horror, sci fi, fantasy, dystopian, utopian, apocalyptic, hopeful. Whatever you decide, it should convey a sense of what the future will be like, feel like, sound like in the Wallkill River watershed.
