Cabrini Shrine: Immigration and Prejudice with Author Paul Moses

“Immigration and Prejudice.” Paul Moses, author of An Unlikely Union: The Love-Hate Story of New York’s Irish and Italians, and The Italian Squad: The True Story of the Immigrant Cops Who Fought the Rise of the Mafia, speaks on what the New York story—and the personal experiences of Mother Cabrini and famed detective Joseph Petrosino—can tell us about trying to break the historical cycle of prejudice that confronts immigrants, even in this City of Immigrants.

Youth-Created Mural Unveiling & Oral History (2 dates / 2 locations)

 Unveiling of a youth-created mural at PS 368 the William Lynch School (1750 Amsterdam Ave) on Wednesday, August 14th, at 10:30am, and of the debut screening of a youth-created oral history multimedia project, created in partnership with Inwood Community Services and focused on local Inwood history, to be hosted at The Forum at Columbia University (601 W 125th St) on Thursday, August 15th, 3:30pm.

Creative Art Works is a 38-year old creative youth development nonprofit organization that empowers young people through the visual and multimedia arts. These public art projects are being designed, executed, and installed through our Public Art Youth Employment program, which is operated in partnership with the DYCD’s SYEP program.

Two teams of our Youth Apprentices (teens and young adults ages 16-24) have spent the last month conducting research and interviews, developing designs, pitching their concepts, and are now in the process of painting the approved mural and editing the oral history, which they will then present to their friends, family, and more at the August 14th and 15th events.

In total this summer, CAW Youth Apprentices will unveil four public murals and two neighborhood oral history multimedia projects across the Bronx, Manhattan, and Queens–details about each project unveiling can be found in the attached press release.
