WOW Generations as a part of LES History Month. If you missed it today we may just do it again soon. Thanks @_fabnyc for getting us all to share in this history every year.
May is Lower East Side History Month!
Lower East Side History Month is an annual celebration of the stories and peoples of the LES. This year, over 70 organizations -- including museums, arts nonprofits, community centers, small businesses, and gardens, will host learning opportunities, tours, performances, and public events!
The LES and Chinatown have deep histories as sites of refuge, community, and mutual aid -- places created by immigrants for immigrants.
At a time when immigrant communities are being targeted and villainized, we encourage everyone this May to celebrate and honor the extraordinary contributions immigrants from all parts of the world have made to the rich, diverse history of our neighborhood.
Check out the calendar of Lower East Side History Month events which will continue to be updated throughout May at .

A man has kidnapped his mother. He speaks to her, forcing her to listen. He wants to reveal who he really is, what he has done, and why. He has killed transgender womenβnot out of hatred, he says, but because of what he was taught to hate: himself, difference, and freedom. The stage becomes a journey into his mind, where reality and delirium intertwine, conjuring the ghosts of the past: a lost love, an oppressive family, a blind faith.
π In Scena! Italian Theater Festival NY is a showcase of performances from Italy, presented in the five NYC boroughs. Admission to the Festival is on a first-come, first-served basis for guests with an RSVP.
