February Liberation Series: Sound Collage Workshop

First Fridays, or Liberation Series, is a monthly, artist-led, community-building gathering hosted in our Bed-Stuy storefront. Each season is guided by an artist working at the intersection of culture, imagination, and collective power.

The Liberation Series creates a joyful, healing space for neighbors to come together, experiment with creativity, make new friends, and shape new possibilities together! Each session is free, open to the public, and grounded in The LP’s values of meeting people where they are, honoring legacy, and practicing abundance.

In 2026, we are pleased to present the artist collective Mz. Icar, who will lead the first four Liberation Series events from February to June 2026. Extending the spirit of their current installation in The LP’s Storefront window, “Legendary,” Mz. Icar presents “Sonic Portals,” a four-part program that filters the sonic practices, archives, and remix culture of Black diasporic movement. Neighbors of all ages are invited into The LP Storefront for communal artmaking, shared meals spotlighting local vendors, friendly dialogue, and reflections on how freedom shows up in everyday life through sound.

This is your sign to gather with The LP, reflect with others, and co-create rhythms that will stretch your imagination beyond the limits of time and space!
