River: A Hudson Memoir

“River: A Hudson Memoir” is a free, live event currently playing at Riverside Park, using the park’s edge as a working backdrop rather than a stage. It traces the Hudson as both place and record, moving between personal recollection and the river’s longer histories of labor, migration, and change. In New York, the Hudson has long served as a civic landmark and a contested corridor, from waterfront industry to public reclamation and climate pressure. The piece’s quietest strength is its refusal to separate memory from infrastructure.
