After nearly 23 years at 150 Broadway, Humanities New York has a new home.

As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Humanities New York is convening a statewide series of Community Conversations that asks a deceptively simple question: what does “revolution” mean now?

Democratic societies require roads, bridges, transit systems, and electrical grids. But they also require rooms where people can gather to reflect on what kind of society they are becoming.

Each conversation brings together Humanities New York with scholars, writers, and public thinkers whose work helps illuminate moments of cultural, political, and technological change.

The conversation centered on the Deer Hide Agreement of 1975, an object held at Skä•noñh that is also something more than an object.
