A special event at the Museum of the City of New York, featuring a screening, installation, roundtable, and day-long performance centered around the uptown New York City premiere of the Zip Code Memory Project film, 'Together, Not Alone.' This event marks the three-year anniversary of the Covid-19 Pandemic in New York City by asking: What have we learned and can we do better?  

Talk to the future – A durational participatory performance with Maria José Contreras 
The artist invites visitors to step into an imagined time capsule and respond to the question: “What should future generations know about Covid?” Contreras listens carefully to participants and then inscribes their words verbatim on the time capsule. 

When: 11:30 AM — 3:00 PM

Where: First Floor Rotunda  

Uptown New York City premiere of Together, Not Alone, panel discussion and refreshments 

'Together, Not Alone', 2022, a short film directed by Gabriella Canal and Judith Helfand, shows how a group of strangers from across three New York City neighborhoods—different ages, races, socio-economic backgrounds, work, and life experiences – come together after months of Covid-19 isolation to explore, map, paint, shape, recall and bear witness to each other’s zip code-determined struggles and imagine justice and repair.
