Wednesday, July 6 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
At Sara D Roosevelt Park at Stanton Street (between Forsyth & Chrystie) on the Lower East Side

Join us and The Stanton Building Task Force of the Sara D. Roosevelt Park Coalition to envision a new community space in the Stanton Building, which was built as a community center and has been closed to the public for decades.

596 Acres will be there with our “What Do We Do With Our Land” exhibit, which highlights the use of eminent domain and community land trusts to create community controlled land and housing on the Lower East Side. We originally installed this in front of the Stanton Street building in 2015 for the Ideas City Festival: http://596acres.org/news/2015/05/30/what-do-we-do-with-our-land-an-annotating-community-land-stewardship-on-the-lower-east-side-for-the-new-museum-ideas-city-festival/

You can listen to the audio pieces at the link, but you will need to come to the festival to experience the energy of the neighborhood!
