**The City Reliquary Proudly Presents: **
***Empire Skate: The Birthplace of Roller Disco*****May 10, 2018 - October 14, 2018**
This summer, the Reliquary presents the history of the former [Empire Rollerdrome](https://www.placematters.net/node/1161) in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn and sheds light on the origins of roller disco. *Empire Skate* brings the world of Empire to life, exploring its role as a cultural icon and a community hub. Artifacts, archival materials, video, and first-hand interviews come together to share the stories of the people who skated at Empire during the 70s and 80s and will immerse visitors in the sights and sounds of the rink.
We've been hard at work researching (and skating) in preparation for this very special summer show. Mark your calendars for the Summer of Skate!
