SUMMARY:Deciphering Manhattan
DESCRIPTION:New York does make sense! Well\, sometimes. Any town\, village or city offers clues that enable us to make sense of that place. The bend in a road\, shape of a building or site of a church can say something of what we once were\, and have become. \nWhy are the luxury apartment houses and fancy department stores along the middle of the island\, while buildings generally get older as you head south? What makes some districts (Chelsea is a good example) so relaxed and quiet when others are chaotic and vital? And if land in New York is so valuable (witness the skyscrapers jammed in all over)\, then what explains the presence of that big park above 59th Street? \nNote: Make sure to arrive at the event 10 minutes early. \n

DESCRIPTION:Join veteran Brooklyn tour guide (and City Limits contributor) Norman Oder\, along with neighborhood activist Maria Roca\, on a wide-ranging tour of the Sunset Park neighborhood in Brooklyn. Once part of Bay Ridge and a Scandinavian stronghold\, Sunset Park is now home to a diverse Latino population and the anchor of New York City’s largest Chinese community\, as well as a perpetual “next” neighborhood in real estate lore.

SUMMARY:The Irresistible Resistance: Earth Week 2016
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn celebration of Earth Week at The New School\, the Tishman Environment and Design Center is drawing inspiration from the growing unification of movements for climate justice\, the deepening of transnational solidarity movements across the globe and the creative expressions of people and communities determined to achieve solutions to the climate crisis on their own terms. We are celebrating the idea that artists and young people are the very heart of the struggle for resistance and resilience and that “artists make resistance irresistible.” \nWhat does the resistance look like? \n\nThe People’s Climate March in September 2014 was the largest action on climate in history\, successfully changing the notion that climate change was just an environmental issue. The march made it clear that this is also a social and economic justice struggle.\nFracking was banned in New York State on December 17\, 2014 after six years of tireless grassroots organizing. Communities across the country continue to fight to defend themselves from the risks of unconventional oil and gas development.\nPresident Obama’s rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline on November 6\, 2015 marked a victory for indigenous people\, environmental activists\, farmers\, and others after years of protests and demonstrations.\nBlack Lives Matter activists and allies have taken to the streets in cities across the United States to affirm the humanity\, contributions\, and resiliency of people of color\, embracing environmental justice as a component of the movement.\nIn the wake of the COP 21 agreement in Paris\, frontline communities vow to “continue to fight at every level to defend our communities\, the earth\, and future generations.” The real success coming out of COP21 can be found in the renewed sense of commitment among many communities\, cities\, and people around the world that are now more than ever vigilant and invested in collective action for climate justice.\n\nOn April 20\, 2016\, help us answer: \n\nCan the resistance be irresistible?\nCan art be an answer to climate change?\nCan local justice movements stand in global solidarity?\nCan we resist the status quo and change the direction of our future?\n\nFree admission\, please register here.\nPhoto credit: Bumbles and Light

SUMMARY:The Invasive Other
DESCRIPTION:This conference is grounded on the premise that while seemingly of different orders\, invasive others – whether people\, plants\, ideas or pathogens – are described in similar ways\, and patrolled and controlled through similar technologies\, logics and policies. Indeed\, we expect the conference to reveal how the language and technologies intersect and play on one another. By placing these different “invasives” alongside one another\, we will learn more about the nature of Otherness in our world\, and how it is managed\, governed or exterminated.  If we are to protect the rights of others\, this knowledge is invaluable. \nDay 1: \nSession 1: PEOPLE\n12:00 – 2:30 PM \n  \nSession 2: PATHOGENS\n3:00 – 5:30 PM \nDay 2 \nSession 3: IDEAS\n12:00 – 2:30 PM\n \n  \nSession 4: ECOLOGIES\n3:00 – 5:30 PM \nSession 5: KEYNOTE\n6:00-7:30 PM \nFree admission; for detailed schedule and registration\, click here. \nPhoto credit: Alexandra Bellissimo

SUMMARY:Screening and Discussion “Merchants of Doubt” and the Exxon connection
DESCRIPTION:“Merchants of Doubt” takes audiences on a satirically comedic\, yet illuminating ride into the heart of conjuring American spin. The movie lifts the curtain on a secretive group of highly charismatic\, silver-tongued pundits-for-hire who present themselves in the media as scientific authorities – yet have the contrary aim of spreading maximum confusion about well-studied public threats ranging from toxic chemicals to pharmaceuticals to climate change.”\n(Inspired by the acclaimed book by Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway. Filmmaker Robert Kenner). \nAfter the screening\, we will examine how these corporate tactics have played out in the case of Exxon Mobil and discuss actions we can take in NYC to challenge Exxon and “Big Oil” climate deniers. #ExxonKnew \nThere will be two screenings: \nManhattan  –  Sat. 2/20/2016 @ 1:30-3:30PM\nPatagonia\, 72 Greene St (@ Spring) Soho\,\nSponsored by 350NYC\, climate education group \n\nBROOKLYN  – Thur. 2/26/2016  @  7-9PM\n68 Jay Street #405\, Brooklyn\, 11201\nSponsored by 350Brooklyn and N+1 \n\nAdmission is free\, donations welcomed. However\, space is limited so please RSVP on this Facebook page.

SUMMARY:Life Along the Curb: Inside the Department of Sanitation of New York
DESCRIPTION:Keeping New York clean has always been a daunting challenge. The city generates close to 40\,000 tons of garbage every day – and yet New Yorkers are not buried by their waste. Who picks up all that trash? Who sweeps the streets? How is the work organized? And where do all those discards all go? Drawing on several years of ethnographic and archival research as well as her own experiences as a municipal sanitation worker\, anthropologist Robin Nagle explores some of the political\, infrastructural\, economic\, and cultural complexities that shape the dynamics of solid waste management in North America’s largest city. \nRobin Nagle is the author of Picking Up: On the Streets and Behind the Trucks with the Sanitation Workers of New York City (2013). She is the anthropologist-in-residence with New York’s Department of Sanitation. She also serves as a clinical associate professor of anthropology and environmental studies at NYU\, where she runs the Draper Interdisciplinary Master’s Program in the Graduate School of Arts and Science. \nAt 8:00 pm\, we will screen the 2015 short documentary film\, “One Man’s Trash” (17 mins) by Kelly Adams.  Synopsis: For 34 years\, Nelson Molina has worked for the NYC Department of Sanitation\, developing a unique relationship to the objects that fill the garbage bags lining the streets. With a keen curatorial eye for finding treasure in household trash\, Nelson has created a collection of found objects in a sanitation garage in East Harlem\, which he refers to as a museum of “Treasures in the Trash.” As the film follows Nelson on his route and through his collection\, he encourages us to see the things that we encounter in daily life anew. \nThis is the third and final event in “Garbage and the City: Two Centuries of Dirt\, Debris\, and Disposal\,“ a program series presented in collaboration with The New York Academy of Medicine\,“ and ARCHIVE Global\,“ and supported by a grant from the New York Council for the Humanities. \n\nTickets\nFree event\, but pre-registration is required. \nPhoto Credit: Museum of the City of New York

SUMMARY:The Reach of the Landmarks Law: A Balancing Act
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Museum of the City of New York: \nWhen New York’s landmarks law took effect 50 years ago\, it forever changed the course of the city’s history. But has its proponents’ full vision been realized this past half century? In some cases\, the law may have in fact been surpassed by newer legislation in other cities. Could ours be strengthened\, or are additional preservation tools needed to complement the law? At this panel\, preservation experts will discuss these and other questions exploring the possibilities\, limitations\, and challenges of the landmarks law. This program delves into the themes of the new MCNY exhibition Saving Place: 50 Years of New York City Landmarks. \nReception to follow! \nLeonard Koerner\, Chief Assistant Corporation Counsel\, NYC Law Department\, Office of the Corporation\nAlison G.

DESCRIPTION:Open House New York invites you to a very special lecture with Karen Karp\, president of Karp Resources\, to kick offThe Final Mile: Food Systems of New York\, a new year-long series of tours and talks exploring the architecture of New York City’s multi-layered food system.\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn about how the movement of food has impacted the shape\, look\, and flow of the physical city: its buildings\, its infrastructure\, and its public spaces. Discover how the evolution of the food system has mirrored–and even facilitated–historical population shifts\, and consider how current trends might re-shape the city again over the coming decades\, as New York City looks to add another 1.5 million residents by 2030. Karp will frame the relationship between food and cities and lay out some of the key issues that we will explore over the coming year through The Final Mile. \nAbout Karen Karp\nKaren Karp is a leading authority on food systems and New York City’s good food movement with over 25 years of experience in specialty food retail\, agriculture\, and restaurants. Since 1990\, when she founded Karp Resources\, she has excelled at creating solutions for food system issues by building unique cross sector partnerships that explore the interconnection between agriculture\, food\, policy\, and people. \nThe Final Mile: Food Systems of New York is a year-long series of public programs\, organized by Open House New York as part of its ongoing Urban Systems Series. The Final Mile is intended to shed light on New York City’s dynamic and multi-layered food economy while introducing and exploring approaches to render this invisible system more tangible.\nReservations for this lecture are required.
