What does PURPLE sound like? is a multi-media installation that activates oral histories and makes visible the stories of elder communities connected to SLMDances. In its 2021 iteration, What does PURPLE sound like? captures the radical joy in a place — public housing communities in New York City — via the stories of its decades-long residents to uncover strategies of resilience, amplify cultural traditions, and shift public discourse and housing policy.
What will PURPLE sound like? offers audiences opportunities to engage with this work both in person and virtually. Programming includes gallery hours, live performances, and virtual walkthroughs and discussions. Please find the full programming schedule below and refer to each for details on the location, virtual access, and RSVP information for each event.
