Public Records aims to create space that catalyzes disconnection from the material world and reconnection to nature, ourselves, and each other. We believe pleasure, responsibility, and action can and should coexist. We see sound as a universal language that opens new ways of seeing and being. Founded in 2017 as an inter-dimensional, ever-evolving cultural platform, the organization engages in diverse sonic + cultural programming, plant driven food + beverage, alongside experimental design and ecological explorations. The campus itself β located in the historic ASPCA headquarters in Gowanus, Brooklyn β now spans five spaces: a plant-based restaurant and music lounge [The Atrium], a sonically-immersive live and club [Sound Room], an all-day cafe and record shop [Cafe Public], an intimate listening lounge and cocktail bar [UPSTAIRS], and an open-air plant nursery x event space [The Nursery]. Public Records is continuously championing diverse art forms and practices, while exploring new intersections between sound, design, hospitality, ecology, and community.
