Our new exhibition, [***NYC Trash! Past, Present, & Future***](http://cityreliquary.org/nyctrash), presents the stories behind New York City’s solid waste, from “one man’s garbage is another man’s gold” to the inventive ways New Yorkers are reusing and recycling. This show presents the diverse ways New Yorkers have managed and related to the trash they produce, from the 19th century to the 21st.

**Including the work of:**

- Jacob A. Riis - Mierle Laderman Ukeles - Larry Racioppo, *Best Unrecognized Photographer*, NYC 2016 - LES Ecology Center and more!

The exhibition will also explore the role of trash as cultural archive through a selection of objects from the **Treasure in the Trash** **collection of Nelson Molina**. In his thirty years on the job as a DSNY employee, Molina amassed a monumental collection of ephemera picked from the castoffs of everyday New Yorkers.

Join us for an [opening brunch reception](http://cityreliquary.org/nyctrash) on **Sunday, November 12 at noon**. The $5 admission includes complimentary coffee courtesy of Oslo Coffee Roasters and light refreshments.
