"I really wanted to show that this was not a problem we only affiliate with places like Bangladesh and the Pacific, but it's also happening in Miami and the Meadowlands."

"It was in particular a time when musicians were able to afford to be here in the city, and there was a real openness to exploring outside of one's own traditional genres."

The exhibit gives people the opportunity to see how New Yorkers have interacted with a city changing 'physically, culturally, economically, and aesthetically over more than the past century.'

"Who We Are: Visualizing NYC By the Numbers" approaches recent census information through an aesthetic lens, breaking the numbers down and using them to build something visually striking and thought-provoking.
