Redemption, the Circular Economy, and Social Sustainability – SURE WE CAN

The BMCC community is invited to a Virtual Tour of the Sure We Can project led by Executive Director, Ryan Castalia. The tour will introduce us to the Sure We Can project, which started with canners experiencing homelessness in New York City and has evolved into a community center and sustainability hub with a mission to bring us closer to a responsible circular economy while incorporating values of social and material sustainability and paving the way forward for our climate and society in crisis.

Ryan Castalia is an artist and advocate who currently serves as Executive Director of Sure We Can Education Center, NYC’s only nonprofit redemption center. His work spans performance art, activism, community organizing, and project development to pursue the aim of cultivating compassion, awareness, and creativity, in venues ranging from US Census outreach programs and community development and relief, to site-specific works of experimental theatre.

All BMCC students, faculty and staff are invited to attend.
