Seen & Heard: Signs of spring

SPRING IS SPRINGING
What says spring in New York City more than a bar with its windows open? (I know the upstairs neighbors hate it, but it sure is fun if you’ve got that prime seat.) Seen at Weather Up, plus some daffodils making their way up behind the Tweed Courthouse.

HEROINES OF THE HOLOCAUST
At the Museum of Jewish Heritage today, March 11, 7 – 8:30p: a talk for International Women’s Day will focus on female resistance fighters of the Holocaust, including Zivia Lubetkin, the highest-ranking woman in Warsaw’s underground, and Vitka Kempner, a partisan leader who blew up a German ammunition train with a grenade. Dr. Lori Weintrob, Director of the Wagner College Holocaust Center, will be joined by Auschwitz survivor Rachel Rachama Roth who will provide her eyewitness testimony to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The discussion will be moderated by Yiddish culture writer Rokhl Kafrissen (Tablet). Tickets: $10, Members $8

A SURREALIST LABYRINTH AT UNTITLED SPACE

There will be an opening reception and performance by dancer Katherine Crockett tomorrow, March 12, 6-9p.

The gallery is at 45 Lispenard.

STREET PHOTOGRAPHY AT SOHO PHOTO
Soho Photo Gallery is hosting a special gallery-wide memorial exhibition in honor of documentary and street photographer Jill Freedman (1939 – 2019) who helped establish the gallery in 1971 when a group of New York Times photographers sought a venue to exhibit their personal work. The show is open for one week only, now through March 14. Freedman had solo shows at the original gallery space on Prince Street in 1972 and 1974; she went on to receive numerous photojournalism assignments, exhibit in major galleries and museums, publish seven books, and win many prestigious awards and honors over the course of her 40-year career. The gallery is at 15 White.
