Gallery Talk | Historian Explores History of Greenwich Village
Architectural and social historian Tom Miller will speak about the history of several Greenwich Village locations, discussing the lives of the villagers who lived there. The remoteness of the area that we consider Greenwich Village today resulted in a contrast in the lives of its residents in the 18th century. Tradesmen and farmers lived in relative proximity with grand summer estates of wealthy British officers and, later, equally wealthy newly minted Americans. And in the midst was the state’s prison that offered new employment opportunities to locals.

Gallery Talk | Renowned Photographer Exhibits 3 Seiries + Explores His Work
Enjoy an exciting presentation and exhibition by Hungarian photo artist Tamas Schild exploring the intriguing world of the unseen! During this special artist talk and exhibition, Schild will showcase selections from three of his most compelling series. His earliest body of work, To Be Beautiful Gypsy - Wonder what it can be like, spans a remarkable 17 years of following a Roma family. Through this deeply personal narrative, Schild creates a subjective visual chronicle that underscores the universality of human vulnerability, fragility, abandonment, and transience--inviting viewers into a space of profound self-reflection.His most recent project, Backstage Ballerina, turns its lens on the world of ballet. Far from romanticized portrayals, the series reveals both the rigor and hidden struggles behind the art form, capturing the relentless discipline and sacrifice required to perfect every movement. The third series, Slaughterhouse Elegy, presents a bold and provocative exploration of photography itself: is meaning found more in the subject matter or in the artist's interpretation? Disclaimer: Slaughterhouse Elegy engages with sensitive subject matter and contains images that some viewers may find disturbing.
