Make note of your journey through these unprecedented times with our exclusive Hope Wanted: New York City Under Quarantine Journal. The powerful image and poem featured here commemorates our outdoor exhibition curated by poet and journalist Kevin Powell and photographer Kay Hickman.

Hope Wanted: New York City Under Quarantine features more than 50 photographs taken by Hickman along with 14 audio interviews with the photographs’ subjects conducted by Powell during the team’s intensive two-day odyssey across the city on April 8–9, 2020. Hickman’s empathetic photographs of people and their neighborhoods in all five boroughs and Powell’s searching interviews of New Yorkers impacted by the crisis capture both tragedy and remarkable resilience at a moment in time during the pandemic. Exhibition on view August 14 - November 29, 2020.
