Brooklyn’s Future Historical Society
In Spring 2019, Ryan joined as one of 22 founding community collaborators co-creating the Future Historical Society at BRIC Arts Media in Brooklyn, a Fort Greene-Downtown neighborhood archive that honors neighborhood histories while transforming shared and equitable visions for the future. The first project of FHS premiered at the BRIC Open in April 2019: an audio walk of historical neighborhood legacy locations and organizations. To experience those audio pieces, including the feature on Lafayette Ave Presbyterian Church that Ryan created with Celeste Staton, please click here.
