"I was really attracted to [khabyas] and how both incredibly beautiful they were and how they spoke to both bodies and architecture" — Jumana Manna
How does a sculpture come to life? From conception to creation, we caught up with Jumana Manna to watch her Cache series take shape. Tracing the process of research, drawing, and fabrication, Jumana talks about this series of ceramic works inspired by a long obsolete tool for preservation.

"We've always worked as a collective. It's not just our own work that we're trying to generate." — Peter Cramer
Peter Cramer and Jack Waters have been creating community—and creating IN community—for decades. Le Petit Versailles, a community garden on East 2nd street, is one such creation. You might have walked past the tiny garden hundreds of times without knowing that it's part of a long history of artists and community members reclaiming corners of the urban landscape.
Peter and Jack were founding members of the performance group POOL, which staged performances about race, class, sexuality, and urban ecology, throughout the city in the 1980s and 90s. They're also longtime residents of the LES, and gardeners! They've stewarded Le Petit Versailles for the last quarter century, transforming it into a place for performances, community gatherings, and horticulture.

"I need to be around my community because it's my muse, it's the reason I do what I do. I had to come back home." — Danielle De Jesus
