2025 Summer Happenings Festival At Coffey Street Studio

Same As Sister (S.A.S.) will be sharing an excerpted performance of Upstairs, In Our Bedroom during Amanda+James’ 4th annual Summer Happenings Festival, curated by Amanda Hameline and Brendan Drake.

Taking place at Valentino Pier Park and Coffey Street Studio in Red Hook, Brooklyn, the free one-day event will feature live performances and video and sound installations by: Asia Stewart, Stephanie Acosta, Same As Sister, Janessa Clark, Glenn Potter-Takata and evan ray suzuki, Amanda Hameline, Alex Romania and Stacey Lynn Smith, and evan ray suzuki.

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?
