Ft Greene is the heart and soul of Brooklyn’s Art and Cultural Institutions. Walk, learn and capture the sights. Bring your camera. Learn from Ketriana Yvonne, a Ft Greene Brooklyn native, about the stories of what was, what is now, and what will be. We will walk along Fulton Street, Lafayette ave and Flatbush ave and end in front of the Paramount Theater. Ketriana knows the old history and will share personal stories about who has lived here and what change has created in Ft. Greene. Ketriana is a Board Member of the Society of Old Brooklynites and serves on the Intergenerational Community Arts Council serving Fort Greene.
