Perfect City, comprised of artists Aaron Landsman, Jahmorei Snipes and Tiffany Zorrilla, worked with Abrons Arts Center to create Invisible Guides, a body of work created with domestic violence survivors, in collaboration with Lower East Side photographer Destiny Mata. Presented at Abrons and on the street in the Lower East Side, Invisible Guides included photography, ethnographic interviews, a ’zine, an audio tour of the neighborhood, an installation, and a public roundtable. This work helped make marginalized populations visible, including their voices into conversations about urban development and community.

In year two, Perfect City members shared their artistic practices with presentations of performances-in-progress Perfect City For Sale presented in June 2024 at the Center for Performance Research. In addition to the performances, Perfect City offered two avoidance mapping roundtables and volume 2 of their zine series.

Jahmorei Snipes’ PILLAR is a series of poetic monologues exploring the world through the lens of Black womanhood. 

BUYME is a metamodern interactive art project by Lola Libre that investigates the existence of digital colonialism and its role in perpetuating the exploitation of femme bodies both on and offline.

All The Time in the World is a new performance work by Aaron Landsman about collective self-regard and the ways capital-driven social media algorithms define how we apprehend the world now. 

Additionally Perfect City collaborated with Henry Street’s Director of Partnership and Public Policy to lead focus groups and surveys with Abrons staff, resident artists, renters, parents, and teachers.

Abrons Arts Center is a home for contemporary interdisciplinary arts in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. A core program of the Henry Street Settlement, Abrons believes that access to the arts is essential for a thriving city. Through performances, exhibitions, education programs, and residencies, Abrons mobilizes communities with the transformative power of art.
