The Surviving Artist in a Changing New York

New York has long been known as the creative capital of the world, but what exactly has contributed to the city’s magnetism, and are those elements now in flux? Three NYFA and Whiting Award winners—Dael Orlandersmith, Jose Rivera, and Saïd Sayrafiezadeh—talk about the effect of New York’s convulsive cultural, financial, and political changes on writers. Moderated by The New Yorker’s Cressida Leyshon.
