Stay inspired: support The Flaherty!
Scrolling through the images and memories of this past year, we have been thinking about the word inspired.
Our 2021 programmers – Janaína Oliveira, Suneil Sanzgiri, Alia Ayman, Devon Narine-Singh, Kelsey White, and L u m i a – carefully crafted their programmes with works and artists that inspired them. Their work is generous: sharing the impulses that have animated them, kept them aloft, fuelled the rich landscapes of their worlds, the fire in their bellies.
To be inspired is to have air blown into you. Space, energy, solace, ideas. Red haemoglobin, rushing, life. To breathe is supernatural, immeasurable alchemy, and foundational to all we do. To breathe, deeply, is all the more meaningful in these times of plague, pollution, and police violence. So many of us have felt constricted and isolated by the weight of the past year/s.
The Flaherty is but a small nonprofit, but it has offered so many of us a space to rekindle inspiration in these rather barren times. We are working hard on breathing shape into our programs for next year and invite any of you who still have some air left in you to blow a little our way!
Please donate if you have the means.
If you prefer to donate by check please make it out to: The Flaherty, 80 Hanson Place, #603, Brooklyn, NY 11217.
Thank you, on behalf of all of us who are The Flaherty.
