2025 Summer Happenings Festival At Coffey Street Studio

Same As Sister (S.A.S.) will be sharing a 30-minute performance of Upstairs, In Our Bedroom during A+J’s 4th annual Summer Happenings Festival, co-curated by Amanda Hameline, James Danner, and Brendan Drake.

Taking place in Red Hook, Brooklyn at Coffey Street Studio and Valentino Pier Park, the free one-day festival will feature live performances and video and sound installations by: Stephanie Acosta, Janessa Clark, Amanda Hameline, Glenn Potter-Takata, Evan Ray Suzuki, Alex Romania & Stacy Lynn Smith, Asia Stewart, and Xiaoyue Zhang.

Inspired by this year’s curatorial theme, “composure in the face of chaos”, the festival offerings will wrestle with the idea of how artists function amidst constant rupture — rupture in our city, country and world; in our economy and ecology; in our personal lives and broader communities…in everything. How do we compose our work and ourselves in this environment? How do we keep making silly little art projects and how do we insist on their importance? Is the confusion of art-making reparative in this moment of rupture? Or are we just kidding ourselves?
