NEW YORK - Danny Goldfield's "
NYChildren" series gives New York City's diversity a face — make that many faces. The photographer's mission is to find one child from every country in the world living in New York and take their portrait. So far, children from 171 countries have been photographed. This is the first time the full series will be on view. What makes this exhibition even more striking is that it is hosted at a temporary space for
Park51, the Islamic cultural center that was planned for downtown New York as a gesture of healing but that has been the subject of fearsome debate by those playing to Islamophic stereotypes. [
