Museum of the City of New York
December 2014 – Present
Currently working on a forthcoming exhibition “Affordable Housing: New York’s legacy” about the history and current state of public and subsidized housing in New York City. The exhibition will feature efforts to provide adequate below-market-rate housing for New York’s poor and working class, beginning with pioneering philanthropic efforts in the 19th century. The exhibition will trace government involvement from early legally mandated building regulations for tenements, through the massively ambitions and extensive housing developments that were built from the 1930s until the 1970s. Contemporary housing, particularly units being built by public-private partnerships, and plans to significantly expand affordable-housing initiatives, will also be documented and explored.

Also working on the Activist New York exhibition with curator Sarah Seidman:
Using artifacts, photographs, audio and visual presentations, as well as interactive components that seek to tell the entire story of activism in the five boroughs, Activist New York presents the passions and conflicts that underlie the city’s history of agitation.
