The participatory project Writing on It All returns to Governors Island this weekend, with anyone and everyone invited to add their art to an out-of-use house on Governors Island in workshops led by artists. You can contribute just about whatever you want, from drawings and poetry to projections and music or, of course, painting, each session featuring a different theme. The series kicks off May 27-28 with Olga Rodriguez Ulloa and Alexandra Chasin’s “Forms of Resistance (Literally!)” (the house will be open on May 29 as well) and continues June 3 with Luis Jaramillo & Matthew Brookshire’s “The Other Side: Borders and Crossings,” June 10 with Ana Lara and LaTasha Diggs’s “Here,” June 11 with Mariame Kaba, Darian Agostini, and Reign Rolon’s “Community Safety Looks Like: Transforming Justice and Our Relationships,” June 18 with Laia Sole’s “KABOOM,” and June 24-25 with Anthony Rosado’s “TestOURmonials of the Great Turning.” Also on Governors Island this weekend — and also free — are the Rite of Summer Music Festival with Talujon Percussion (May 27, Colonels Row, 1:00 & 3:00) and Family Fun Day (May 28, Nolan Park, 11:00 am – 4:00 pm).
