Director Statement

"The New Neighborhood" is a series about the people of New York, but mostly, it is a series about all people; their struggles, their ambitions, their quirks. My mission with this project comes right from Emma Lazarus's poem "The New Colossus" which is displayed in the Statue of Liberty. Lazarus writes of the "tired and poor," from far off lands being welcomed by a "mighty woman with a torch." New York welcomes everyone; no matter where you are from, there is a neighborhood here for you. It is my wish to celebrate New York's diversity, its capacity to accept eccentricity and idealogical differences, and its citizens' aptitude for coexistence. Given the state of our country and world, what could be more important than those ideals? My series examines who the people are that make up the neighborhoods of this great city and also explores what a "New Yorker" really is in 2017.
