Poverty & Affluence Presents:

WHEN: Tuesday, 7PM
WHO: Joseph Rodriguez
WHAT: Photography + Talk/NOLA
WHERE: Goddard Classromm #203

Don't miss this special presentation by Joseph Rodriguez, a photographer and professor at Tisch. He'll be showing his photos and talking about his life as a photographer, but most importantly, he'll be showcasing his work with the victims of Katrina in New Orleans. He'll discuss his years following the flood victims as they struggled to get their lives back together. He'll show us, first hand, the effects of governmental policies, poverty, education, race/class divisions on those who either fled or chose to stay in New Orleans and fight it out.

The Highline! Saturday, Nov 20th at 1pm

The High Line was built in the 1930s, as part of a massive public-private infrastructure project called the West Side Improvement. It lifted freight traffic 30 feet in the air, removing dangerous trains from the streets of Manhattan's largest industrial district. No trains have run on the High Line since 1980. Friends of the High Line, a community-based non-profit group, formed in 1999 when the historic structure was under threat of demolition. Friends of the High Line works in partnership with the City of New York to preserve and maintain the structure as an elevated public park.
