Prospect Heights Agenda: Israeli-Palestinian Art Discussion at LaunchPad

Head out this weekend and hit one of the not-to-be-missed events. 

Friday

- The Friday line-up at Celebrate Brooklyn! is the "soul singing dance music" of JAMIE LIDELL / DAN DEACON / THE STEPKIDS 

- Did you know that every Friday night there are fireworks at Coney Island? 9:30 p.m.; boardwalk between West 10th Street and West 15th Street.


Saturday

- Tonight at Celebrate Brooklyn! it's a night of Latin music with the EDDIE PALMIERI SALSA ORCHESTRA and BANDA MAGDA. 

- For those looking for a smaller (and indoor) event, head to LaunchPad for  The Family Repertory Company's Mid Summer's Cabaret.

- For the train aficionado(s) in your family, head to the  New York Transit Museum for Transportation Inventions, where kids plan, blueprint and build a pint-sized vehicle model of the future! For ages 6+ 

- Women: reduce your carbon footprint even further by using menstruation cups, a topic that will be discussed at Sustainable Cycles (and you thought it was about biking to work, didn't you?) at LaunchPad. Yes, at first read it may seem, well, gross, but really, it shouldn't, right?


Sunday

- Join author Laura Hulbert for an interactive reading of her books, Who Has These Feet? and Who Has This Tail? at a special Prospect Park Zoo storytime. After the readings, the kids will have a chance to participate in interactive activities. 1 p.m. Free with zoo admission.

- If you haven't seen Fragile Territories, today's your last chance. The exhibit brings together artwork by three Israeli artists of the same generation who explore their complex relationships to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There's a closing reception from 4-7 with an artist panel discussion at 5. 

- Join the NYC Physics & Math Self-Learners, and work your way through graduate physics materials, while meeting up with others who for some reason want to do the same thing. Just so you know, the emphasis is on intuition rather than problem-solving methods, but they do both.

- At Brooklyn Metal Works there's an artist talk and hands-on demo.
