To celebrate its first birthday, MoRUS will host an evening of performance, discussion, refreshments, raffles and a silent auction. To kick,-off the evening, Brooklyn Culture Jammers’ Daniel Kinch will perform an excerpt from his play A CLOWN, A HAMMER, A BOMB, AND GOD (What 1-year-old doesn’t love a clown?) which is based on the true story of Father Carl Kabat who dressed in a clown suit, broke into a Minuteman III Missile base in North Dakota and disabled a missile by hammering the silo door shut. Kabat explained that he was a ‘fool for Christ’ and went to prison. Further into the evening will be a panel discussion, WE KNOW SQUAT! AN ORAL HISTORY SLIDESHOW featuring participants in the Lower East Side squatters’ movement such as Fly, Frank Morales, and Peter Spagnuolo. A silent auction featuring the art of such neighborhood visual artists as Darryl Lavare , Harvey Wang and Eric Drooker and a raffle of goods and services donated by such retail neighbors as Two Boots Pizza ABC Beer and Edi & The Wolf will help raise funds for the museum’s 2014 programming.
