Floor Three, Laurie M. Tisch Education Center

Jointly organized with The Door and Unlocal, join us for an evening of resource-sharing and artmaking dedicated to immigrant and undocumented communities. Youth, families, teachers, and community members are invited to connect with NYC immigrant justice organizations, participate in a “know your rights” training, create large-scale protest banners, and explore the 2017 Biennial. Spanish and English language guided tours of the exhibition will be offered throughout the evening, and 2017 Biennial artist Aliza Nisenbaum will speak about her artworks on floor 5 at 6 pm.

This event is free and no registration is required—just drop in!
