Our Reimagining New York City recommendations engage the power of arts and culture to further New York City’s ability to heal and transform. They reflect the wisdom, imagination, and stories of community cultural organizations, artists, and neighborhood residents across the city.

Please contact us for a copy of the recommendations: info@nocdny.org

With the COVID-19 pandemic revealing historic faultlines and limited systems, we challenged ourselves to move beyond the status quo to imagine liberatory futures. Our recommendations are grounded in values shared by NOCD-NY and our partners including the importance of culture, community, self-determination, interdependence, and public good.

We offer these recommendations to the cultural community, policymakers, and activists, knowing that we can best implement them by coming together. Join us in dialogue about how best to move these aspirations into action.
