But under the Roman Empire her powers grew. Temples were built to her across the known world. Her cult rivaled Christianity. \nEarly March was a holiday in her honor\, the Navigium Isidis (the vessel of Isis) honoring her ability to protect seafarers. \nWeather permitting\, we will first gather at the community room\, then go to the Hudson River Park at 12th Street. We will parade with a small model boat carrying the statue of Isis\, and will chant and shake sistra and tambourines. Then we will return to the Westbeth Community Space. In case of rain\, we will gather at the Westbeth Community Space at 6:30 pm and stay there. \nMirla Pereira will personify the goddess\, as she appeared in the temple at Sais: “I am all that has been and is and shall be; and no mortal has ever lifted my veil.” — symbolizing the secrets of nature; as well as divine and inaccessible knowledge. \nTamara Wyndham will make a contact body print of Mirla at the conclusion of her dance. Applying paint to her body\, the paint will transfer to cloth. This symbolizes a transformation. And then Mirla\, as Isis will be unveiled.\nParticipants will then be invited to be blessed with water that has been exposed to the full moon\, and also blessed with a moonstone.

Beyond its creative legacy\, the residence has been a hub for social change. Its artists played leading roles in the anti-Vietnam protests\, LGBTQ+ rights movements\, feminist art collectives\, and urban preservation efforts. \nIn Creative Ozone\, Miriam Chaiken offers a rare insider’s look at this extraordinary community. Drawing on intimate interviews with multiple generations of Westbeth residents\, including those who grew up in the building as “feral children” immersed in art from birth\, Chaiken captures the spirit of a place where creativity and activism are inseparable. She explores how Westbeth artists have weathered gentrification\, economic upheavals\, and major historical events\, from 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy to the ongoing pandemic\, revealing the resilience of this one-square-block artistic village. Blending vivid storytelling with cultural history\, Creative Ozone is a tribute to the artists who shaped\, and were shaped by\, New York City. \nRich with character-driven narratives\, this book will captivate art lovers\, history buffs\, and anyone fascinated by the creative life. Whether you’re drawn to the bohemian legends of Greenwich Vil­lage\, the evolution of urban spaces\, or the intersection of art and activism\, Creative Ozone offers an unforgettable portrait of a community like no other.”\n– Fordham University Press \nMiriam Chaiken\nMiriam’s earlier writing derives from her years of anthropological field research in Africa and Asia\, focusing on poverty and hunger alleviation\, gender equity\, and the welfare of children. She has published many articles and co-edited two books on international development and community resilience. \nAfter extensive research on three continents\, she pivoted to her most eo ic site yet – Greenwich Village in New York. Three members of Miriam’s family were long-time residents of the Westbeth Artists’ Residence\, which opened doors when she turned her anthropological gaze to this community. After three decades of research in villages in sub-Saharan Africa\, she realized that Westbeth is a vertical village\, with all the drama and intrigue of any village. Her book Creative Ozone: The Artists of Westbeth (Empire State Books from Fordham University Press) recounts the history of the Westbeth community\, and focuses on the intriguing characters that called Westbeth home. \nMiriam was formerly Dean of the Conroy Honors College and Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at New Mexico State University. She lives with her husband and fellow anthropologist Tom Conelly in southern New Mexico.
