Midnight Moment: Our Islands by Martha Atienza | Presented by Times Square Arts and Silverlens

Martha Atienza’s ‘Our Islands’ is this month's #MidnightMoment! Presented by Times Square Arts in partnership with Silverlens, 'Our Islands' is on view in New York Times Square from 11:57 PM to 12:00 AM every night for the month of July.
Midnight Moment is the world’s largest and longest-running digital public art program. Presented nightly to millions of viewers each year, Midnight Moment showcases the work of contemporary artists on one of the most iconic public canvases - the electronic billboards of Times Square. Synchronized nightly from 11:57 PM to 12 AM on over 92 digital displays spanning 41st to 48th Streets, this program brings public art on a monumental scale to New Yorkers and visitors from all across the globe, 364 nights a year.
In ‘Our Islands’, Atienza reimagines a yearly local parade from her native Philippines by staging it under water on the floor of the Visayan Sea. Part of her continuing series to establish art as an open source for ideas, her moving diorama under the sea is a collaboration with her local community with whom she creates work to empower and amplify seldom-heard voices.
If you're in the city this summer, immerse yourself in the waters of Bantayan Island, Cebu right from the streets of New York City!
