This Week

For fifteen years, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s River to River Festival (June 16-26) has been staging free events in public places. The current crop is strong on magnetic female performers. Okwui Okpokwasili (above) revisits Nigerian protest movements, in a Governors Island fort; Alicia Hall Moran sings about African-American finance, in Federal Hall; and the wraithlike Japanese dance legend Eiko indicts Wall Street.
