For a decade, Assembly has existed as a space for ...For a decade, Assembly has existed as a space for young people to expand their dreams, actualize themselves into being, resource their communities, and utilize collaboration as a path toward collective healing. Rooted in abolition, collective care, and the belief that everyone deserves the resources and freedom to become who they are, Assembly has grown into a vibrant community of artists, organizers, educators, and collaborators.
Evidence of Becoming celebrates this first decade with 67 artworks by 24 artists, alongside performances, workshops, conversations, and community resources. More than a retrospective, the exhibition unfolds as a living archive of experimentation, transformation, and shared learningâhonoring the many people who have shaped Assembly while reminding us that becoming is never a destination, but an ongoing practice we build together.

The entire world runs on tension. Quite literally....The entire world runs on tension. Quite literally. In physics, nothing works without it. It keeps bridges standing and itâs how guitar strings sing. Yet when it comes to human relationships, weâve convinced ourselves of the opposite. We use nice words like âkeeping the peace,â when often, weâre simply avoiding the discomfort conflict evokes.
But challenges donât go away just because we ignore them. They just change form and/or cause more downstream problems, much like the ones weâre facing now after decades of pretending avoidance worked. Ghosting culture. Echo chambers. Polarization. Passive aggression. Relationships that fracture instead of deepen. All of which brings us to a place where Democracy itself is at stakeânot because people disagree, but because they donât know how to disagree. Or even that itâs ok to.
The truth is, conflict is one of the greatest acts of hope we can offer one another, precisely because itâs challenging. In a world where itâs so easy to move on, having conflict says: 1) I care enough. 2) I believe you care enough. 3) I believe youâre capable of doing this challenging thing.
The problem isnât conflictâitâs that so many of our experiences have been awful and we were never taught to do it well. We never learned how to disagree without becoming defensive, or how to repair after hurt.
We also werenât taught to discern where/when healthy conflict simply isnât possible. The Conflict Lab is a place to learn those skills.

Flux Factory is pleased to present Itinerant Signa...Flux Factory is pleased to present Itinerant Signal Institute (Rite of Spring), a solo exhibition by artist Amelia Marzec.
Itinerant Signal Institute (Rite of Spring) is a fictional institute and installation, grounded in techno-ecological art. The story of the Institute is told through sculpture, digital images, internet art, microcontrollers, and scientific displays. In it, creatures have emerged from the melting permafrost to join the Institute and return to modern-day cities to examine their climates. The creatures wear headdresses of bones and fossils, inspired by Eastern European carnival costumes that denote the changing of seasons. They acknowledge the effect of human activity on the Arctic Circle, and anticipate increasing climate migration due to military fuel consumption. The Institute tests for environmental toxins to identify places of relative safety, through small hand-built quasi-scientific devices that test the air and soil. The work also addresses queer migration, and re-defining the idea of home in the current political climate. It incorporates plant knowledge to influence the endocrine system, reducing human desire for late-stage capitalism and war at a biological level. Sites tested by the Institute include former military bases, including WWII sites in Europe, and Newtown Creek, the location of one of the United State's largest oil spills, where the artist's family lived when they emigrated to New York City. The work evolves as the Institute installs servers in partner organizations as the project moves from place to place.
Itinerant Signal Institute (Rite of Spring) is presented as part of the artist's 2026 NYSCA Fellowship.
Opening Reception: August 6, 6-9pm, with an artist talk at 7pm
Exhibition: August 6-30, 2026, open weekends, noon-6pm or by appointment

Becoming of Flesh brings together over five decade...Becoming of Flesh brings together over five decades of work by artist Robert Flynt in dialogue with the practice of the photographer Ash Allen. The notion of âbecomingâ emerges here as a way of naturalizing the condition of those homosexual bodies that, through dissidence, have disrupted normative frameworks, opening up new ways of understanding masculinity as non-linear and in constant transformation. These images bring together desire, eroticism, spirituality, and visual codes to reimagine the male body. They move beyond the static, immersing us in layered forms of âotherness,â challenging the control of apparent logic and disrupting pre-established vocabularies of toxic masculinity. Printed in risograph, Ash Allen cyanotypes offers a historical reading of Bob Flyntâs mystical and radical practice, creating a dialogue between archive, affect, and contemporary reinterpretation. Limited edition of 200 copies.Â

This day of performances celebrates the artists, voices, and creative practices that have shaped our community. Gather with us for an evening of live music, a film screening, spoken word, and community expression featuring exhibiting artists, an open mic, and more. These performances offer a glimpse into the creative ecosystem Assembly has cultivated: one rooted in experimentation, vulnerability, and self-expression.

Rooted in abolition, collective care, and the belief that everyone deserves the resources and freedom to become who they are, Assembly has grown into a vibrant community of artists, organizers, educators, and collaborators.
Evidence of Becoming celebrates this first decade with 67 artworks by 24 artists, alongside performances, workshops, conversations, and community resources. More than a retrospective, the exhibition unfolds as a living archive of experimentation, transformation, and shared learningâhonoring the many people who have shaped Assembly while reminding us that becoming is never a destination, but an ongoing practice we build together.

The entire world runs on tension. Quite literally....The entire world runs on tension. Quite literally. In physics, nothing works without it. It keeps bridges standing and itâs how guitar strings sing. Yet when it comes to human relationships, weâve convinced ourselves of the opposite. We use nice words like âkeeping the peace,â when often, weâre simply avoiding the discomfort conflict evokes.
But challenges donât go away just because we ignore them. They just change form and/or cause more downstream problems, much like the ones weâre facing now after decades of pretending avoidance worked. Ghosting culture. Echo chambers. Polarization. Passive aggression. Relationships that fracture instead of deepen. All of which brings us to a place where Democracy itself is at stakeânot because people disagree, but because they donât know how to disagree. Or even that itâs ok to.
The truth is, conflict is one of the greatest acts of hope we can offer one another, precisely because itâs challenging. In a world where itâs so easy to move on, having conflict says: 1) I care enough. 2) I believe you care enough. 3) I believe youâre capable of doing this challenging thing.
The problem isnât conflictâitâs that so many of our experiences have been awful and we were never taught to do it well. We never learned how to disagree without becoming defensive, or how to repair after hurt.
We also werenât taught to discern where/when healthy conflict simply isnât possible. The Conflict Lab is a place to learn those skills.

If you want to help out, our food prep starts at 9:30am around the corner (dm for location) or you can join us for setup at 10:45 at the corner of 7th & B. Feel free to bring food or bring a friend, we'll slot you in-- our system is pretty organized at this point! If you speak any language other than English, especially Mandarin, let us know.
If you're coming to eat, we kick off at 11am but the line starts forming before that so expect a short wait. We always have enough food for everyone in line, and there's never a line for coffee or our resources table. If you're in a hurry and can't wait, and just want a bowl of soup & rice, let a volunteer know and they can grab you a portion.
Dropoff donations of food & goods can be received at distro 10:45-noon (the earlier the better). Family-size dishes are welcome and we're alwavs seeking individually packaged ready-to-eat food and snacks, bottled drinks and easy to prepare staples (cup noodle/ramen). For goods think: hygiene items like soaps & lotions, deodorant, wipes, sanitizer, razors, toothbrushes, masks, socks, individual packets of cough medicine and painkillers-- please NO clothes or large items at this distro!
We can always use some cash in the bank to buy our distro essentials-- we rarely have to make a fundraising push because our community sustains us. You can venmo us @ Mina-Mattes to add to our general fund or check the link in our bio for rotating registries that support our community initiatives.
Lastly: a reminder that mutual aid is a political act in which we share resources without conditions without judgment, and without policing or control. Please treat everyone like a competent and self-determining adult, and challenge yourself to rethink the us-and-them, above-and-below, savior-and-victim models that are perpetuated in so many models of charity.

We can always use some cash in the bank to buy our distro essentials-- we rarely have to make a fundraising push because our community sustains us. You can venmo us @ Mina-Mattes to add to our general fund or check the link in our bio for rotating registries that support our community initiatives.
Lastly: a reminder that mutual aid is a political act in which we share resources without conditions without judgment, and without policing or control.

Thank you and see you Saturday!

If you want to help out, our food prep starts at 9:30am around the corner (dm for location) or you can join us for setup at 10:45 at the corner of 7th & B. Feel free to bring food or bring a friend, we'll slot you in-- our system is pretty organized at this point! If you speak any language other than English, especially Mandarin, let us know.
If you're coming to eat, we kick off at 11am but the line starts forming before that so expect a short wait. We always have enough food for everyone in line, and there's never a line for coffee or our resources table. If you're in a hurry and can't wait, and just want a bowl of soup & rice, let a volunteer know and they can grab you a portion.
Dropoff donations of food & goods can be received at distro 10:45-noon (the earlier the better). Family-size dishes are welcome and we're alwavs seeking individually packaged ready-to-eat food and snacks, bottled drinks and easy to prepare staples (cup noodle/ramen).

For additional questions please email hello@wonderville.nyc

No Lights No Lycra offers a welcoming space for people to dance freely in a friendly, non-threatening, drug- and alcohol-free environment. With the lights dimmed, everyone can dance without worrying about their appearance. Please refrain from using phones on or around the dance floor. We hope you enjoy this opportunity to dance independently in the company of others. Talking is discouraged to enhance the experience
Weâre pleased to be hosting NLNL on the first Wednesday of the month with the support of Prime Produce, a cooperatively-run building home to a diverse ecosystem of friends, family, and neighbours who deepen their relationships through collaborating on community service projects. We are aligned with their values and want to create mutual benefit within its ecosystem. We hope that the cafe can provide a space for dancers looking for a place to socialize with each other and the Prime Produce community after the last song plays.
Tickets are $15 suggested donation. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase from the cafe and donations $15 and above will receive $5 off any purchase. Due to limited space, we kindly ask that you obtain a ticket in advance, but we will accept drop-ins as long as their is space on the dancefloor. It is important to us that NLNL remains accessible; we will always have space for you regardless of financial situation.

come talk to a healthcare worker who understands that the capitalist healthcare system was designed not only as a racist, sexist, eugenicist system, but also designed to only âcureâ us so that we can go back to work.
âhealthcare under capitalism only serves to maintain peopleâs ability to engage in alienated labor,â as written by an ARCNYC comrade in another worldâs newspaper, the peopleâs torch.
stop by and get your blood pressure checked, get a free health screening, get free STI testing from @projectstay_nyc, get free PCR quality COVID/flu/RSV testing from @g_rebls , free zines, free rapid covid tests, free narcan, free masks, & free copies of the peopleâs torch.
as always, kn95 (or better) masks are required + provided.

Masking is always encouraged at Interference Archive. We will provide masks at the door.

In a remote Chinese village, a farming family surv...In a remote Chinese village, a farming family survived wars, political upheaval, and famine. Persecution and hardship eventually forced the family to scatter. Against the backdrop of Chinaâs rapid urbanization, the filmmaker sets out to unearth her familyâs enduring bond with this long-forgotten village, hidden deeply in the vast mountain range of Loess Plateau.
Infused with performance, poetry, and animation, the film constructs a living archive of oral history and community theater. Summoning the past into the present, May the Soil Be Everywhere chronicles Chinaâs history of war, famine, and rapid urbanization through the lens of four generations in one family. We invite you to gather and meditate on familial history, heritage, soil, and community liberation.
Followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Yehui Zhao and artist Walis Johnson.
Red Calendar is an arts and action calendar that helps NYC gather without
big tech middlemen. Managed by a team of editors, the Calendar also
encourages cross-pollination among NYC's leftist/arts/culture communities.
Anyone can add events for free, pending editor approval!
Red Calendar is big-tech-free—no Meta, no AWS, no GCal. Each day's
events reorder when you refresh and each event, when expanded, has its own
sharable url. We are called Red Calendar because we wanted a color, and
this was the shortest (and cheapest) url we could find that incorporated
"calendar" and a color.
This is a labor of love. Countless hours have gone into
building/maintaining the site—and none of us are rich kids or make
much money. Could you
please donate?
