Word Up Recirculation: Gallery Opening for Alfredo Jimagua’s SEEDS OF REVOLUTION

September 25 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Free – $5

Kick off your Friday night at this opening gallery reception celebrating Alfredo Jimagua’s Seeds of Revolution, celebrating all of New York in Washington Heights.

This photo series titled Seeds of Revolution started the day after Zohran Mamdani won the election for mayor last November. That’s when Alfredo Jimagua posted flyers in working-class corners of the city, casting locals for a photoshoot in their homes, asking: Who are the real people living here, and how do they make NYC home? The result is a mosaic of 27 New Yorkers across Upper Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn, serving as a pulse check on a collective moment that’s been building on the ground for years. These portraits capture artists, immigrants, families, and lovers as the seeds of revolution sprouting here in that quiet New York winter.

Alfredo Jimagua is a queer Afro-Caribbean writer, photographer, and community organizer based in NYC. He is also releasing a graphic novel based in New York later this year published by an artist-owned cooperative label he founded called Honey Mummy.

More of his work can be found at alfredoshots.com and honeymummy.co

Gallery up from September 25 to October 25, 2026.
