BROOKLYN, NY
.- The stoops of New York City have always been the place to meet up, catch up, and build community. During Covid-19, city stoops became a place to safely socialize, play and cheer on essential workers. Stoops were often peoples only connection to the outside world. Amid the challenges of the past year in New York City, photographer Marj Kleinman and writer, Lara Weinberg lovingly captured that range of experiences and examples of community. The resultStoop Storiesis a documentary storytelling project that forms the basis of a new exhibition composed of more than 150 images and stories representing families, essential workers, small business owners, and activists from around Brooklyn. On view at Brooklyn Childrens Museum, the exhibition is included with general admission.
