Undiscovered Countries' 11th Birthday Show

Brooklyn, New York
Free

Undiscovered Countries' 11th Birthday Show
Undiscovered Countries is a Brooklyn-based incubator of new and developing interdisciplinary art, creating safe homes for weird baby projects since 2012. We present brand new art in a variety show style format, sharing subversive and accessible work by artists lacking conventional support to foster a diverse, engaged community. Our shows at the Infinite Fest are free to artists and audiences alike. Our September show celebrates our 11th birthday as an incubator, and includes new work from David Quang Pham, Phoenix F*cktoy, Aliyah Curry, Sammie James, Vanessa Rappa, Outer Shapes, William Vaughn, Marie Dragdeline, and Derek Smith. Come dance and eat cake with us!

WHAT IS THE CITY RELIQUARY?
Reliquaries typically house the ostensible bones of dead saints. We house the bones of New York City. Seltzer bottles to schist cores, roller skates from racially integrated rinks, and a burnt out lightbulb from the Statue of Liberty's torch are just a few examples of our exciting collection.

We use this space to breathe new life into New York city, with not only our incredible collection of interactive historical exhibits, but continuous and stimulating programming, arts, and events.

WHY MEMBERSHIP?
Membership gives you FREE ACCESS to all upcoming events, museum entry with a plus one on all open days, and the unique opportunity to be a part of a thriving creative community. You can become a member for $10/month at cityreliquary.org/join.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
The City Reliquary values the individual diversity of every member of our community. Differences in age, race, ethnic heritage, religion, appearance, gender, sexual orientation, or any number of characteristics provide experiences, viewpoints, and ideas that strengthen and enrich our mission.

We are committed to creating an environment that is safe, inclusive, respectful, and equitable, and to include and uplift people with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to create a safe and inspiring space.

From day one, our motto has been this simple phrase: Be Civic. And we’re sticking to it.

ACCESSIBILITY & SAFETY
The City Reliquary backyard is down 4-5 steep stairs from the museum, which is itself on street level. There are concrete paths in some of the backyard, and in other areas the ground is uneven dirt, wood chips and stones. Seating for this event is limited, and is a mix of standard metal folding chairs and picnic tables with benches. Please email us at undiscoveredcountriesfestival@gmail.com before September 9th if you'd like us to reserve you a seat. Regarding COVID mitigation: UC will contact trace participants using Google Forms, and will also require artists and audience alike to mask when inside the museum building, and will provide masks for this purpose. The event itself is outside in the backyard to provide better ventilation, and UC will not enforce masking outdoors. Cupcakes provided at the show will include vegan, gluten free and gluten free/vegan options.

The City Reliquary will not tolerate any hateful words or actions. If at any time you feel unsafe or concerned about anything at The City Reliquary, please talk to a volunteer, who can be found at the front desk or at the bar. They will do their best to address the issue.

If the price of the ticket is keeping you from attending, or you have any questions or requests regarding safety or accessibility, please email charlotte@cityreliquary.org.
