  • Wayfinding in Harlem
    E1
    Wayfinding in HarlemIn 2018, The Studio Museum in Harlem closed its longtime home to begin construction on a new building. In the absence of a permanent gallery, the museum launched in Harlem, a site-specific series that brings art directly to the community through displays in public spaces, libraries and parks. Conceptual artist Chloë Bass guides St. Nicholas Park on a wayfinding journey.
  • Glass Handel
    E2
    Glass HandelAnthony Roth Costanzo didn’t want to have the standard “park-and-bark” opera concert, so he took the paradigm and flipped it – literally. In this immersive concert, Costanzo places audiences in moving chairs and tours them through fluid stations featuring music, dance, video and art as the compositions of Glass and Handel echo through St. John the Divine.
  • How We Stay
    E3
    How We StayPlacekeeping can take many forms. For the young organizers of New York's Chinatown community, it's an act of resistance. As higher rents and unfamiliar businesses made their way into their neighborhood, locals turned to community gatherings, art and education in a shared solidarity to stay. "How We Stay" sees this change through the lens of Wing on Wo & Co and the Chinatown Art Brigade.
  • I Am New York
    E4
    I Am New YorkOn November 5, 2020, a massive black and white mural was revealed overlooking the FDR highway. The work was designed by 105-year-old Cuban artist Carmen Herrera and was painted by students of Publicolor, an after school youth development program.
