A Conversation with Nate Dorr and Nathan Kensinger
On today's Navy Yard Neighbor BK, we talk with artists Nate Dorr and Nathan Kensinger. In October 2019, Dorr and Kensinger created a guerilla video installation at the Brooklyn Navy Yard titled Admiral’s Row, 1864 – 2016. This installation was a memorial to a lost utopia that once stood inside the gates of the yard. For the last four decades a wild forest had grown unchecked in and around the abandoned mansions of Admiral’s Row, becoming an important six-acre green oasis along Brooklyn’s otherwise industrial waterfront.
You can view their video installation "Admiral's Row, 1864-2016" at the Old Stone House exhibit Brooklyn Utopias: 2020. https://theoldstonehouse.org/ndorr-nkensinger

A Conversation with Navy Yard Neighbor BK and Heights and Hills
On today's Navy Yard Neighbor BK, we talk with Judy Willig, Executive Director at Heights and Hills, a nonprofit supporting Brooklyn's older adults. Heights and Hills was born out of a strong sense of community responsibility in 1971, when clergy and community advocates came together to support their aging neighbors.
They have always been pioneers in developing programs and services to support older Brooklynites to age in place as vital members of their communities. So in 2008, they took up the challenge of expanding overnight from serving 400 older adults in three communities to 1,200 in 19 diverse neighborhoods. Today, Height and Hills is one of the largest Brooklyn nonprofit organizations serving more than 4,000 older adults and their families.
