Join us for a tour of Niyū Yūrk: Middle Eastern and North African Lives in the City led by curator Hiba Abid. Niyū Yūrk explores the often overlooked history of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) immigration to New York City, from the first waves in the late 19th century to the present. The exhibition highlights how New York City has shaped the lives, identities, and creative practices of MENA communities, artists, and writers. It also emphasizes their enduring contributions to the city’s cultural landscape and place in global culture.
This is an in-person event limited to 25 people. Registration is non-transferable.

Through an array of materials—including local newspapers, rare books, archival documents, prints, artists' books, photographs, music records, and film—the exhibition showcases how these voices have been preserved and presented. Niyū Yūrk creates a dynamic dialogue across time, illustrating the evolving nature of MENA migration to the city as well as the Library’s role in documenting this history. While reflecting on new directions in collecting practices, it also aims to address gaps in those practices and envision a more inclusive archival future.
