To Have and to Hold is an exhibition of multimedia works that considers the irreplaceable touchstones and remnants of the past that our loved ones held dear, as gateways to our own destinies. Contemplating the memories collectively inherited by ancestors amongst the densely populated city of New York, the Lower East Side serves as the inspiration for this exhibition, with its rich, diverse history, activist spirit, and deep multicultural roots.
