SUMMARY:Hastings Lock and Dam New Island Walk Along Levee
DESCRIPTION:This event will start at the Lock and Dam #2 visitor parking lot from there we will walk to the levee where the island is located. Along the way we will have two people from the Corp of Engineers talk about the restoration work in the forest next to the lock and dam. We will continue to walk to the levee and there they will tell us about the reason for the island and the engineering involved in building them. After this talk\, we will hear about the future work which is the planting of the island with native plants which will both benefit wildlife and help to stabilize the island. from there we will wall the overlook to get a view of the area from an elevated site. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Art + Water Workshop: Aquasonos – Community Listening with Dameun Strange
DESCRIPTION:Listening is a daily act that is both solo and collaborative: a conversation between family members over breakfast\, taking in a lesson at school\, a podcast that plays in your ears as you wait for the bus. \nWhat happens when we listen\, intentionally\, together? \nAt this evening event\, you are invited to listen together to the sounds of our watershed\, from the ancient history of Como Lake to the birds of Frogtown Farm. Sound scores by musician and composer Dameun Strange will be installed as listening environments in CRWD’s building and outdoor gardens. Tune in to three immersive works\, including a new piece composed of field recordings gathered at the previous Aquasonos workshop on April 25\, with brief remarks at 7:00 p.m. \nLearn more about the works you’ll hear at the event: Community Listening with Dameun Strange. Read an interview with Dameun about his work\, AquaSonos: An Interview with Dameun Strange. \nRegistration (see below) is appreciated but not required. Light refreshments will be served. \nNote: CRWD’s Mississippi River Room is equipped with an audio induction loop system\, Midwest Hearing Loop. This listening technology connects directly to an individual’s hearing aid via a wireless connection. Please follow the directions posted on the wall to make use of this service. \nThis event is part of the We Are Water MN exhibit at Capitol Region Watershed District’s Watershed Learning Center from April 23 to June 14\, 2026. \nArt + Water Workshops are organized by CRWD Artist-in-Residence Sarah Peters and CRWD Community Engagement Coordinator Maricella Xiong. \nEveryone is welcome at CRWD. We are committed to creating a safe environment for all visitors. If there are any safety updates\, we will post them here and notify all registered participants. Questions? Please contact us; we’re happy to help! \nAbove image: Dameun Strange’s performance at Mirror Lab. Photo by Mirror Lab. \nAbout the artist: \nDameun Strange is an acclaimed sound artist\, multi-instrumentalist\, and award-winning composer. His body of work encompasses conceptual electronic and improvised electro-acoustic compositions that delve into the narratives and themes of the African diaspora\, frequently incorporating surrealist and Afrofuturist aesthetics. Through sound and poetry\, Strange’s artistic aim is to articulate the beauty and resilience of the Black experience\, drawing upon ancestral influences to convey stories of triumph and forge connections across the past\, present\, and future. \nStrange has composed for notable artists and choreographers including Leslie Parker\, Ananya Chatterjea\, Joanna Lees\, and Pramila Vasudevan. His significant accolades include the 2018 ACF | Create Award and a 2019 Jerome Hill Fellowship. Most recently\, he was named the inaugural composer-in-residence for the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) for their 2025-26 60th anniversary season.
