“New York Her” at Arthouse Hotel

NewYorkHer is a multimedia pop-up exhibition at Arthouse Hotel, located at 2178 Broadway (at 77th Street).

A fusion of technology and art, the exhibit features acrylic-mixed media paintings from artist Louisa Lama-Aknin, with each piece profiling ten immigrant woman from the Ivory Coast, Philippines, Puerto Rico, China, and France.

The paintings are accompanied by 90-second videos to bring each subject to life.
