Performance event featuring Heidi Wiren Bartlett and collaborators.
Friday, July 8, at 7 p.m., starting at the pedestrian bridge by the Silk Complex
Upriver is a project featuring sculptures and a performance event on Bushkill Creek. Debuting on July 8, the work is an active collaboration with local artists, scholars, geologists, musicians, and engineers. In a procession down the Karl Stirner Arts Trail, stories will be told and actions materialized into sculptural form, with each aspect of the performance intended to reflect the mythologies of “The Place at the Forks.”
The event starts in the Simon Silk Mill parking lot (1262 Simon Blvd.). The event is free and should last about one hour. Parking is available on Bushkill Drive at the corner of 13th Street in Silk’s upper-level parking lot. Overflow parking can be found in the back lot of Silk. Closed-toed sneakers, hiking shoes, or boots are suggested.
