Come to Kentler International Drawing Space, a gallery in Red Hook and see the film, A Hole in a Fence on Wednesday, June 18 at 7:30 p.m. 353 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook. Admission is free.
Chronicling the changing fortunes of a unique abandoned lot in Red Hook, Brooklyn, A Hole in a Fence explores the complicated issues of development, class and identity facing the city’s most populous borough.
It’s the story of a vanished homeless community and the young
architect who documented it; of a real urban farm run by local kids
amidst a landscape of industrial decay; of young graffiti writers
losing their stomping grounds; of the arrival of a controversial Ikea
megastore; of a photographer’s vision of nature’s renewal; of the
doomed struggle to save a rare part of the neighborhood’s working
waterfront; and of a filmmaker’s discovery of a fleeting, hidden world
on the other side of a rusty old fence.
