where the rivers meet: A Knowledge Sharing with Saif Azzuz, Amanda Higgs, Joe Baker and Hadrien Coumans

Sat, Oct 3
2:00 PM – 3:15 PM
Storm King Art Center, New Windsor · Directions

Join us for a conversation with 2026 Outlooks artist Saif Azzuz around his work weych-pues / tàkhòne (where the rivers meet) (2026), alongside Hudson River fisheries biologist Amanda Higgs, Joe Baker and Hadrien Coumans, co-founders of Lenape Center.

The program brings together perspectives from Indigenous communities and conservation efforts centered on the Klamath and the Hudson rivers to explore the intimate bonds between humans and the natural world. The conversation will be moderated by Eric Booker, who curated weych-pues / tàkhòne (where the rivers meet) (2026) and was formerly Associate Curator at Storm King.

Free with admission, no registration required

Program location: meet on Museum Hill

ACCESSIBILITY

Restrooms

The indoor restrooms on Museum Hill are equipped with somewhat accessible stalls. These stalls include grab bars but are too narrow to accommodate the full turning radius of most wheelchairs.

Terrain and Getting Around

Museum Hill can be accessed via paved paths as well as the elevator near the South Fields. The program will be on mostly level grass and will be a short distance from the paved pathway.

ASL interpretation is available upon request two weeks in advance. Every effort will be made to honor requests made with less notice.

If you have questions or need other accommodations, please email info@stormkingartcenter.org.
