Reflective of the civil-rights struggles happening at the time, these scrappy teenage musicians openly challenged the powers that be and record labels representing buttoned-up Latin artists (who later collaborated to squash the movement). 81 min. Preceded at 7pm by Latin Boogaloo, Afro-Cuban and Latin Soul, Salsa and Fania Records Tribute with DJ Laylo.

Talk | Architecture for Health


Architecture for Health asks: How can an architect help advance health equity? Across the country, low-income communities of color are in a health crisis. New York’s East Harlem has an average life expectancy of 76. Directly south, residents of the more affluent Upper East Side live to an average of 85. Studies show a surprising correlation: the best predictor of our health is where we live. Exploring the potentials of health-centered interventions in the built environment, Karen Kubey will present work that brings together architects, policy and finance experts, and community leaders to promote greater health equity. Speaker Karen Kubey is an urbanist specializing in housing and health. She was the first executive director of the Institute for Public Architecture and co-founded both New Housing New York, the city's first design competition for sustainable and affordable housing, and the Architecture for Humanity New York chapter (now Open Architecture/New York).
