A trailblazing housing organizer and her diverse working class neighbors fight Robert Moses, the real estate industry and five mayors to create the first Community Land Trust in New York City – an oasis of permanent low-income housing in the heart of the rapidly gentrifying Lower East Side. This feature documentary was born 12 years ago when IMA alum Ryan Joseph and Hunter Urban Planning student Dave Powell met in an IMA class at Hunter College. The story is a gem of NYC history and an incredibly uplifting example of community planning and power. You can see more information on the film’s website: www.rabblerousersdoc.com

Hans Tammen creates and conducts long multi-movement pieces with large groups of players of electronic instruments for almost 20 years. Dark Circuits Orchestra’s 15th Anniversary concert (well, add the pandemic years to it) will take place in Hunter College’s gorgeous Black Box Theater, preceded by sound and visual installations, and a performance of Princess Jesus.
