Pioneer Works and our Board of Directors invite you to join us on Tuesday, October 8 to celebrate our doors reopening after months of renovations. Raise a glass, enjoy a feast, and support our continued programming, which builds community through the arts and sciences.

The evening will feature performances by Resistance Revival Chorus and DJ Black Helmet, as well as installations by Rachel Stern, Alejandro García Contreras, and Ashcan Orchestra. BITE Catering will provide the meal alongside past-Supper Club Chefs Tara Thomas, Woldy Reyes, and Jen Monroe.

All ticket proceeds from this event allow Pioneer Works to sustain free, community-driven programs, support our residents and artists, and produce large-scale, accessible programming across the arts and sciences.

About the Artists

About Resistance Revival Chorus

The Resistance Revival Chorus (RRC) is a collective of more than 60 women, and non-binary singers, who join together to breathe joy and song into the resistance, and to uplift and center women’s voices. Chorus members are touring musicians, film and television actors, Broadway performers, solo recording artists, gospel singers, political activists, educators, filmmakers, artists, and more, representing a multitude of identities, professions, creative backgrounds, and activist causes. The RRC centers women in music, and addresses how historically marginalized women have been in the music industry.

About DJ Black Helmet

DJ Black Helmet aka Azikiwe Mohammed works fluidly across a wide variety of mediums, making paintings, jewelry, furniture, photographs, tapestries, and sculptures that draw from a set of aesthetics found in the Black home as it exists in America. DJ Black Helmet has been DJ’ing in and around New York since 200, spinning a mix of deep funk, darker disco tunes and soul bangers.

About Alejandro García Contreras

Alejandro García Contreras (b. 1982 in Tapachula Chiapas, Mexico) characterizes his creative work by experimentation and dialogue between different materials and technical resources, making his work a mix between various media such as painting, sculpture, photography, video and graphics. The themes of his work are linked to his personality and through his artistic projects, he explores topics and themes inspired by contemporary popular culture, Mexican folklore, myth, occultism and religion.
