July 27, 2012, 7pm-9pm: Join photographer and filmmaker Nathan Kensinger for an illustrated exploration of the hidden and liminal spaces that still can be found at the watery edges of the City.

A new landscape of luxury condominiums has replaced the old sugar refineries, powerhouses, bungalows and docks that once lined New York’s shores. However, some vestiges of the historic waterfront remain, mainly in forgotten or off-limits neighborhoods like Bloomfield, Edgemere, New Dorp Beach and Hammels Wye. Join Nathan Kensinger as he shares his photographs documenting the changing waterfront.
