Governor's Island

A monumental outdoor sculptural installation by acclaimed Mohawk artist Alan Michelson, on view on Governors Island from July through November 2026. The installation reflects on the parallel erasures of Indigenous lifeways and oyster ecologies in the harbor, while pointing toward the possibility of their restoration and return.

Witness a spectacular Grand Review of Tall Ships at Governors Island as part of the Sail4th 250 celebration.
