The Coalition to Protect Chinatown & the Lower East Side is excited to be a part of this exhibition organized by Art Against Displacement. Thank you to everyone who attended the opening reception of NOT FOR SALE this weekend!
As part of the show, please join us for a FILM SCREENING this Wednesday, May 17th at 6:30pm at 537 Broadway, 2nd Floor
In conjunction with the exhibit, Not For Sale: Material Traces of Protest in Chinatown & LES, 2002–Present, Art Against Displacement presents an offsite screening at the Emily Harvey Foundation on Wednesday, May 17th at 6:30pm featuring the work of Sihan Cui, Zishun Ning, Lily Jue Sheng, Alvin Tsang, and Siyan Wong.

All based in New York, the five filmmakers will be present to introduce their films.
