The Street Is Ours

LiberArte partnered with Terraza 7 and Acoustic Memories to bring The Street Is Ours. This summer, Terraza 7 celebrated 25 years — one of New York City's most vital cultural spaces — right on the block where it all began.

Immigrants built this city and this nation through their labor, their culture, their art, and a voice that grows louder every day. For 25 years, Terraza 7 has been proof of that.
