Organized by the Renee & Chaim Gross Foundation in collaboration with Village Preservation, this program will discuss Greenwich Village as a space of collective memory and an important site of preservation in New York City. Greenwich Village built a reputation for eccentricity, experimentation, and artistic creativity in the 1960s and ‘70s as the center of bohemian and countercultural movements. Although the neighborhood has seen dramatic changes over the decades, the memory of creative freedom and acceptance continues to mark Greenwich Village today. Panelists, composed of neighborhood preservationists and local residents, will discuss why the Village remains such a renowned and beloved space for the public, and consider ways to preserve this neighborhood’s memory in an ever-changing New York City.
