Exhibit Opening: Harvey Wang’s New York

Arts and Culture, Online Event

June 16 | 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm  

Join us at the Yiddish Book Center for a conversation with celebrated photographer and filmmaker, Harvey Wang. Wang will be in conversation with Lisa Newman, director of publishing and public programs, about his exhibit, Harvey Wang’s New York, opening that same day at the Yiddish Book Center. The iconic portraits in Harvey Wang’s New York show the men and women performing New York’s vanishing jobs. A 97-year-old scrap-metal collector, a pillow maker, and a mannequin maker, are just a few of the professions featured in these beautiful and poignant portraits. His photographs entertain and inform while documenting a way of life before it disappears. This event is free and open to the public. No advanced registration is required.
