A spirited conversation taking stock of activism in New York today. Guests at this relaunch event are invited to explore newly launched features in Activist New York, an ongoing exhibition including: an original documentary film; a new section on nuclear disarmament activism; updated interactives; and original interviews with current activists.
In addition to offering a first look at the newly redesigned exhibition, New York Activism Today features a panel of prominent activists, authors, and filmmakers like Dante Barry, Executive Director of Million Hoodies Movement for Justice, Immigrant Rights Activist Angy Rivera, Mark Engler, Co-author of This is an Uprising: How Nonviolent Revolt is Shaping the 21st Century, and documentary filmmaker Robin Blotnick.
The ensemble of experts and activists will discuss in depth the ways in which the city is continuing to grapple with issues of racial justice as well as immigrants’ and workers’ rights in fresh and unique ways, while still upholding the city’s long-standing tradition of social activism.
