Newark Public Library - Main Branch

On Thursday, April 23, 2026, 6:30-8 pm, join OUR NEWARK FUTURES at the Newark Public Library (5 Washington St., 4th floor Auditorium) for a talk and dinner with Chantal Fischzang, Gisela Ochoa, and Stephanie Rodríguez on A Feeling of Itself.
Presented at Project for Empty Space, through a collaboration with Lives in Translation (LiT), and the Design Consortium at Rutgers University-Newark, the A Feeling of Itself explores what it means to live between languages through bilingual interviews, photography, typography, and data visualization. Rooted in the concept of #Arraigo—a sense of belonging shaped through one’s roots—the project highlights translation as a powerful form of cultural connection and affirms multilingualism as a source of power, dignity, and collective memory.
The exhibition unfolds across Newark from March through June 2026, including a window installation at 19 Williams Street, a full exhibition on view March 24–June 1 at Project for Empty Space (800 Broad Street), and a culminating site-specific lighting installation at Edison Place.
Join us for a conversation with the designers and researchers behind this layered, multi-site exhibition, drawing from multilingual conversations across the region, and exploring how linguistic data is transformed into immersive public artworks.

Dinner will be served.

Acting Out: Improv Group Style 
9 -10:15 a.m.,&nbsp; Life Hall room 1200 
Crowd Source Acting is about using improvisation to act in the moment. 
Participants will be guided in an improvisational game that allows them 
to experience dropping into a roll and having the inspiration of those 
around them to achieve a common goal. That goal could be silly, serious,
 or absurd. Join us for a round or two of a game called Family 
Portraits, guided by Theatre department practitioners.

will perform and engage everyone to participate in traditional West 
African recreational music. We play a strong weave of polyrhythms on

with us, sing with us in call and response in a West African language, 
and dance traditional movements with us, directed by calls from the lead
 drum. 
Let’s Get Physical: Writing Poetry about Memory and the Body 
4:30-5:45 p.m. Feliciano School of Business Room 140

written two new poems and having received feedback on one of the poems. 
They will also leave with a few additional tools in their writers’ 
toolbox.
