Tria Giovan: Loisaida - New York Street Work 1984-1990

Tria Giovan: Loisaida - New York Street Work 1984-1990 is an evocative chronicle of the Lower East Side's halcyon days, from Giovan's archives. It is a time capsule, a cultural and historical record of a 1980s Lower East Side that fostered robust communities of diverse populations, including the many immigrants who took pride in making Loisaida their home. Her images invite curiosity and evoke nostalgia about a place in a bygone era that has been forever altered through waves of gentrification. Part preservation, part humanistic engagement, this project contributes to a historical visual legacy of the ever-evolving, always evocative Lower East Side. 93 pages | 11.75" x 9.25"
