The gentrified landscape of the Village conceals a battleground for reproductive and LGBT rights. Join us for a walking tour of the area’s hidden sexual health history and activism flashpoints with guide Robert Brenner. The former St. Vincent’s Hospital—which played a central role at the height of the HIV / AIDS epidemic and has now been converted into luxury condos that tower across from the new NYC AIDS Memorial—will serve as a point of departure as we explore the neighborhood amid shifting land values and the fight for sexual and reproductive rights.

This event is part of U Feel OK?: Health & NYC, Van Alen Institute’s fall program festival from November 11-13.
