“Perhaps no other music blog has photographed the contemporary NYC music scene as thoroughly as BrooklynVegan, which launched in 2004. Most of the work by the over a dozen contributing photographers in "480 Pixels" has never been viewed beyond that size, the restricted limit of the blog's format. Appropriately, the opening is accompanied by an indie rock show, with Screaming Females, Hunters, and Heliotropes. (The opening is free, the concert is $12).” - Allison Meier

Tales of Social Activism, at Museum of the City of New York, 2 PM
1220 Fifth Avenue, East Harlem
“New York didn’t wait until the ‘70s to become a locus of public protest for universal suffrage, civil, and women’s rights. In fact, it didn’t even wait until the advent of photography, as the artifacts on display — some from the 17th century — seem to attest in this exhibition. The tradition continues into the present day as the museum invites New Yorkers to share a photograph or personal story about their own experiences with social action.” - Reid Singer
