Storywalks Talk & Tour

Historic sites have untapped stories to tell. Explore how art and technology can be used to activate these stories in a talk and tour of the Eldridge Street Synagogue, built in 1887. Innovators Carlin Wragg and Anna Pinkas demo their new “Storywalks” app, which features archival recordings and a musical soundscape. Museum at Eldridge Street Deputy Director Amy Stein-Milford provides a behind-the-scenes look at the architecture and history of this National Historic Landmark and explores ways in which contemporary art—in this case a stained-glass window by artist Kiki Smith and architect Deborah Gans—can be used to extend the story of a building.
