Greenpoint is a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, most impacted by Polish immigration. The district has a strong Polish-American flavour, including many Polish restaurants, markets and businesses. It is often called "Little Poland" in similar fashion to "Little Italy". Many Polish arrived here in the 70's of the last century.
The Polish Cultural Institute is organising an event to celebrate the district and featuring the work of Robert Nickelsberg. The Institute says:
"Currently, there are 170,000 residents of Polish heritage engaged in all spheres of New York’s daily life — they are your neighbors, policemen physicians, or your child colleagues. The residents still living in Greenpoint were photographed by Robert Nickelsberg between 2020 and 2023.
So, take a moment to look and meet your fellow New Yorkers!"
