The problem we identified in 2018 was that Hudson does not know how to have a conversation with itself.

Without this ability, we struggle to make change.

We have tried to be a part of the solution by bringing people together into shared experiences of imagining our shared future.

In 2018, we organized a dozen creatives to curate an event series at the library. We were organizing a second when the pandemic hit.

In 2025, we established a series of public conversations called NEIGHBORS to do just that. Watch Peter Spear’s conversations with Mark Allen and Nicole Vidor below.

And, Peter Spear continues to share his thoughts through his Alley Chats, which you can find here as well.
