Behind the Screen: Lower East Side Stories, a new monthly cinema club exploring the history, culture, and ongoing evolution of the Lower East Side & East Village!

Each month will feature a screening and hands-on companion experience. Join us in gathering together, both long-time residents and newcomers, to experience our neighborhood’s layered history through film and leave with something to do in the neighborhood: a walk to take, a person to talk to, a skill to try, a cause to join.

We are excited to kick off this series and celebrate Latine Heritage month with Viva Loisaida, by Marlis Momber, and a story circle with some our amazing community leaders who have exemplified what it means to claim space in an ever-changing neighborhood.

A look back at the opening of What We Grow Together: Food, Equity & Community Care! This exhibition brings together artists whose work considers the role food plays in our lives, from the systems that shape who has access to it, to the traditions, relationships & acts of care that grow around it.

Our opening event brought our community together to celebrate the artists whose work is featured, through collective artmaking & conversation. We were guided by chef and artist artistnadinenelson in the creation of a harvest mandala, using fresh produce provided by Project EATS . Also pictured here is her work “rice, beans and neighbors unforeseen,” a conversation and sorting activity that uses the universal staples of rice and beans to reflect on how sharing food and thoughtful dialogue can build shared humanity across cultures.

The exhibition is still on view! Come visit us during our Open Hours to see the work of Nadine and all of the other amazing artists featured:
Wednesdays - 12-2 PM & 3-5 PM
Thursdays - 3-7 PM
Saturdays - 12-2 PM
