Turning the World Upside Down: The Inaugural Village Trip Lecture by Professor Robert W. Snyder

Jefferson Market Library

Online sales have now closed, but tickets will be available on the door.

Greenwich Village has long been a place where people make plans to turn the world upside down. Since the late nineteenth century, the neighborhood has absorbed new people and new ideas in the arts, culture, and politics; marinated them in hope, humor and contentiousness; and then shared them with New York City, the USA, and the world. Robert Snyder’s lecture will explore three generations of Villagers who were part of this tradition: Puerto Ricans and Cubans of African descent who plotted to overturn the Spanish Empire in the late nineteenth century; activist women of the early twentieth century whose efforts as suffragists, socialists, and settlement house workers set off decades of social reform; and the mid-twentieth century artist Chaim Gross, an immigrant from Austrian Galicia whose drawings and sculptures in wood, stone and bronze crossed international boundaries to present new ways of seeing women, families, acrobats, and Jewish culture. Together, their lives show how New Yorkers and their neighborhoods have been shaped by the world around them – and how Villagers have shaped the world.Photo: Immigrants arriving in New York from Ellis Island <h3>This event is free to attend, but we suggest a $10 donation to The Village Trip. </h3>
