The Firehouse, Engine 31
87 Lafayette Street
Creative Time, in partnership with The Fortune Society, artist Phil Collins and over 100 collaborators, is proud to announce Bring Down The Walls, a three-part public art project which turns an unconventional lens on the prison industrial complex through house music and nightlife.
The project consists of a communal space that functions as a school by day and dance club by night, as well as an album of classic house tracks re-recorded by formerly incarcerated vocalists and electronic musicians. Located at Firehouse, Engine Company 31, a historic, decommissioned fire station in Lower Manhattan, Bring Down The Walls will be free and open to the public each Saturday in May.
