Since 2022, Priscilla Stadler has investigated the mysteries of Newtown Creek, a long-polluted waterway between Queens and Brooklyn. Blending art, science, pedagogy, craft, and mysticism, she unearths its layered history and evolving ecosystems, where mussels and other wildlife are making a remarkable return after two centuries of industrial waste. Through her discoveries, Stadler sparks curiosity and activism, urging a deeper connection to the Creek’s revival and future.
