NOT FOR SALE Screening: Labor, Displacement and Protests in Chinatown
6:30 – 9:30PM
This screening is part of the Not For Sale exhibition at 104b Forsyth Street, LES. This offsite screening features the work of Sihan Cui, Zishun Ning, Lily Jue Sheng, Alvin Tsang, and Siyan Wong, as well as a teach-in about the Chinatown Working Group Plan.
Based in Manhattan’s Chinatown and Lower East Side on unceded Lenape land, Art Against Displacement (AAD) is a coalition of artists and art workers that seeks to amplify the demands of those whose livelihoods are threatened by predatory development, and to work in solidarity with grassroots organizations toward community-led rezoning. Gentrification is not an inevitable result of urban development; we reject the instrumentalization of cultural workers towards the displacement of long-term residents and businesses.
