In celebration of the premiere of VEINTITRES: Our Labor Saved Lives, MoMA PS1 presents an online film screening and live conversation. Veintitres documents the 23 day hunger strike held by workers across New York in the spring of 2021 to secure $2.1-billion in New York State pandemic relief funding for excluded workers, many of whom are undocumented. Directed by Djali Brown-Cepeda, creator of the digital project Nuevayorkinos, the film was commissioned in conjunction with the Homeroom activation, Nuevayorkinos: Essential and Excluded. Following the film’s premiere screening, Djali Brown-Cepeda will be joined by Elena Ketelsen Gonzalez, Assistant Curator at MoMA PS1, and representatives from Make the Road New York, Street Vendor Project, and Communities for Change for a conversation about the collective labor, power, and artistry which catalyzed this historic victory. Following the premiere, the film will screen continuously during museum hours from January 7 through 10.
