About this Virtual Talk:
Bodega Cats of New York follows the cats who live and work inside New York’s corner stores, and the people who care for them. The book and archive look at the routines, relationships, and neighborhood stories behind one of the city’s most familiar but rarely documented parts of daily life.
Founder Dan Rimada joins us for a live talk to preview his forthcoming book and discuss his experience documenting these feline friends!
About Dan Rimada:
