A seemingly high-budget production takes over the western side of Washington Square Park.
I’ve always been interested in members of our community who aren’t explicitly related to NYU, but are foundational to the student experience and what it means to exist in New York City. Social membership, and the blurred lines between the explicit and implicit, are deeply fascinating to me. In this short series, I tried to represent just a few faces who might stretch the definition of the NYU community and how they impact us, maybe even without our knowledge.
