For the third year in a row, we are exhibiting in Photoville, a free outdoor photo destination with over 90+ exhibitors. This year our installation is titled Water is a Women’s Issue; a national collaborative project organized by the Lower Eastside Girls Club, which examines how water impacts women’s bodies, our home communities, and our daily life.
The Loisaida United Neighborhood Gardens (LUNGS) is dedicating a day to the Lower East Side’s Gardens. Join us on our Rooftop Farm for private tours at 11 AM and 1 PM, given by our very own LESGC members.
"Love No Border" showcases the work of artists from throughout the United States and Mexico who are using their time and talents to give voice, witness, and love to those who, like them, are standing up for others.
Many have asked: “If not us, who? If not now, when?”.
