SUMMARY:Death Café
DESCRIPTION:The Death Café is inspired by the centuries-old European salon (or café)\, an informal gathering to discuss philosophical\, political or scientific ideas.

Amy Cunningham\, death educator and creator of the Brooklyn-based blog TheInspiredFuneral.com\, invites participants to share their thoughts and feelings on death. It’s an opportunity for safe and open exchanges\, without an agenda. Tea and light snacks are provided. \n“A place for people to discuss our inevitable fate.” – Gothamist \n“It’s a reversal for American culture\, which for a long time has shied away from these conversations.” – Village Voice \n“[E]ncouraging people to talk about death more freely and naturally.” – Haaretz \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended.

SUMMARY:Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Installation on View:September 21st–October 19th10am–4pm \n\n\n\nLeigh Davis’ audio installation Vigil engages the power of loss and memory through song. The work is rooted in her membership with the Threshold Choir\, a community of women continuing the ancient tradition of bedside singing to the dying. The work is installed in Green-Wood’s Historic Chapel\, a sacred space that has provided a place of solace and comfort for those grieving for over a century. Visitors can sit with others or move around at their own leisure. Those listening are encouraged to contemplate the complexity of mourning on both a personal and collective level. \n\n\n\nFor the past five years\, Davis has been creating work that encourages community participation and discussion. She offers opportunities for individuals of various ages\, cultural\, and spiritual backgrounds to come together and share physical and emotional space. At a time when it is not easy to commune or console one another\, Vigil provides an occasion to meditate and reflect on the universal experience of death. \n\n\n\nStrict safety measures will be enforced: all visitors will be required to wear a mask and keep a distance of at least 6 feet while in the Historic Chapel. \n\n\n\nWe encourage visitors to download this pamphlet with the lyrics sung in Vigil as well as  instructions for deep listening. \n\n\n\nClick here for our inclement weather policy.

SUMMARY:A Lament for Troubled Times
DESCRIPTION:Please note: Performances will take place September 19th and 26th\, from 12-3 pm. The program will repeat three times each day\, beginning at the top of the hour (12 pm 1 pm\, and 2 pm). Seating is limited and on a first come\, first seated basis. An RSVP does not guarantee a seat. Attendees can only attend one performance an afternoon\, and will need to queue in line (keeping a safe distance) before each performance. No chairs or blankets permitted. \n\n\n\nIn times of turmoil\, music has a unique ability to unite us\, and remind us of the things that truly matter. Green-Wood\, in partnership with our friends at Death of Classical\, is honored to present a quartet of members of The Harlem Chamber Players\, performing music by George Walker and Florence Price. The performances take place atop the Hill of Graves\, with sweeping views of Green-Wood’s idyllic landscape\, and are free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nThe quartet will perform George Walker’s String Quartet No. 1 and Florence Price’s String Quartet in G major. Walker’s piece includes his profound Lyric – originally titled Lament – which was written in memory of his grandmother\, who had been a slave. Price’s quartet\, like all of her works\, has a sound that is at once timeless and familiar\, seamlessly incorporating African-American spirituals\, European classical traditions\, and her own unique musical voice. \n\n\n\nPerformances are located near the intersection of Meadow and Garland Avenues. To reach the site\, look for signage starting at the main entrance and pick up a copy of the Visitors Map from a security guard or download this handy map. It is a 15-minute walk from Green-Wood’s Main Entrance. \n\n\n\nSocial distancing will be enforced at each performance. Attendees must wear masks and keep a distance of 6 feet from one another. \n\n\n\nFree\, but RSVP is recommended. Please consider a donation to help support free and low cost programs throughout the year. \n\n\n\nClick here for our inclement weather policy.

SUMMARY:A Body in a Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Important Notice: The performance will start 30-minutes earlier than originally scheduled at 5:30 PM. \n\n\n\nCheck-in will begin at 4:30 PM. We recommend arriving before 5:10 PM as the performance site is a 20-minute walk from the main entrance. \n\n\n\nAmerican cemeteries of the nineteenth century served a similar purpose to today’s public parks\, as they once saw visitors picnicking on the grass\, strolling down meandering paths\, and socializing together as families. In the last century\, however\, these spaces have become more utilitarian in nature and often lack public engagement beyond funerals and grieving. Graveyard Shift\, a collaboration between Green-Wood and Pioneer Works\, proposes a new way of interacting with the space of the Cemetery by activating it through sight\, sound\, and movement. \n\n\n\nA Body in a Cemetery is a new place-inspired performance conceived by internationally acclaimed artist Eiko Otake. It is presented as part of this year’s Graveyard Shift series. \n\n\n\nFrom the artist: I have no intention to offer a theatrical production. My performance announcement is my promise to be there and to offer my body for a duration of time\, together with other visitors. My lone body will mark the place and the time when audiences can gather to meditate on how landscapes hold not only the deaths of people throughout history\, but also the flow of constant lives and deaths of all species. We will observe the Cemetery carefully and actively so we can hear the transformation of lives and deaths. \n\n\n\nClick here for our inclement weather policy. \n\n\n\nPlease note that we are unable to offer a member discount on this event. We apologize for any inconvenience. \n\n\n\nAbout the ArtistEiko Otake is a choreographer and performer who has spent decades practicing dying and mourning for the dead. A Body in a Cemetery will be the latest manifestation of her solo project A Body in Places\, which began in 2014 as a twelve-hour solo performance at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station. Various iterations of the project have continued since then\, including a performance as part of The Hiroshima Panels exhibition at Pioneer Works in 2015\, which was simultaneous with an exhibition of photographs of Eiko shot by William Johnston\, A Body in Fukushima. Eiko performed A Body in Places last at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for three days in 2017. Other reflections on death include Offering at six Manhattan parks following 9-11\, as well as Duet Project\, which includes four partners who are now deceased. \n\n\n\nAbout Pioneer WorksPioneer Works is a cultural center based in Red Hook\, Brooklyn that is devoted to building community through the arts and sciences. Through a broad range of educational programs\, performances\, residencies\, and exhibitions\, Pioneer Works transcends disciplinary boundaries to foster a community where alternative modes of thought are activated and supported. We strive to make culture accessible to all. \n\n\n\nMandatory Safety Protocols– Face coverings must be worn at all times– Maintain 6 feet from other visitors and Cemetery staff and ambassadors– Complete a health questionnaire in advance of the performance– Sit only in designated areas and follow directions given by Cemetery staff and ambassadors– Maps and a program will be emailed in advance of the performance– Visitors will need to walk 20 minutes to and from the performance site over hilly terrain\, proper footwear is recommended. For those with mobility issues\, transportation can be provided from the Main Entrance.

SUMMARY:On African American Death Practices Part I
DESCRIPTION:Death is the great equalizer\, right? Why then have funerary and burial practices been racially segregated in the United States for centuries? Why does death care continue to be one of the most segregated sectors of the American economy? This discussion uses these questions as a starting point to trace the evolution of African American funeral practices through key moments in history and continuing shifts. We will also discuss the current state of affairs and what it might suggest about the changing landscape of America’s death culture more broadly. In Part I we will focus primarily on the history of African American death practices. \n\n\n\nThis program is presented as part of a new Death Education series at Green-Wood\, Death & Us. Death is the great universal\, but the ways in which the dead are grieved and memorialized vary across racial\, cultural\, and economic divides in the United States. This series brings together a myriad of voices—from historians and preservationists to activists and funeral practitioners—to explore how diverse communities mourn and commemorate the departed from our nation’s founding to today. \n\n\n\nFree. A Zoom link will be in your confirmation email upon registration. \n\n\n\nClick here for our inclement weather policy.
