Contemporary performing arts and culture of the African Diaspora

We Are Here (Brooklyn) is a celebration of Bedford-Stuyvesant’s rich cultural legacy—a testament to its past and present. The project, originally curated as part of Bailey’s Cafe’s As Quiet As It’s Kept, centers images and stories of long-time Bed-Stuy residents, cementing their place as neighborhood icons in the name of resilience and permanence. The multi-media project features photographs by Robyn Twomey with interviews by Monica L. Williams, and culturally produced by Pia Monique Murray.

We Are Here (Brooklyn) opens on AUGUST 1st with live performances and a walking tour. This kicks off an 11-week installation. More information on the Bailey’s Café’s full project and its related components is available at www.baileyscafe.org.
