A musical sculpture in motion 🎶🌊
Set along the Harlem Greenway, this project translates the rhythms of the East River and the DNA of local sounds into form – a stainless steel piece designed to be both a gathering space and an instrument.
Still in progress ⏳
In collaboration with @etootitigbe – NYC.

The river is never still. It meanders, carves, swells, and recedes—an unsettled body of perpetual negotiation. Rivers Unsettled gathers sculptural, mixed media, and installation-based works born from field studies along the Harlem River. This exhibition engages the river, not as a passive subject but as a co-author, rhythms and residues shaping material and meaning alike.

Hi-ARTS is thrilled to partner with polymedia artist Eto Otitigbe on "Rivers Unsettled". Gathering sculptural, mixed media, and installation-based works from field studies along the Harlem River, a site of contested histories, industrial scars, and ecological resilience, this exhibition engages the river, not as a passive subject but as a co-author, its rhythms and residues shaping material and meaning alike.
This exhibition and programming will culminate with the installation of Emanativ, a public sound sculpture powered by the changing water levels in the Harlem River, to be installed at the Manhattan Greenway Harlem River in 2026.
