Luke Carsin: In Her Words (2010)

Part of the Lower East Side Biography Project, this film was intended, along with the other films in this series, through interview pieces of key cultural figures, to preserve and present the receding oral history of the Lower East Side art scene. The New York underground art scene, which many believe is now being pushed out and homogenized by the increasing rent prices of the city, is held in the memories of those figures who were part of it. Luke Carsin, a Jewish lesbian, key social activist and participant of this art scene of the 70's and 80's, is here presented in the last interview before her death. She narrates and weaves a story of her own history with that of New York.
