Live Recording of "Person, Place, Thing with Randy Cohen" with NYC Revolutionary Trail

Please join us on May 13th for a special live recording of Person Place Thing — the popular radio show created and hosted by Randy Cohen, which asks guests to speak about one person, place, and thing of particular meaning to them. Peter-Christian Aigner and Ted Knudsen will discuss the ‘freedom trail’ they created for New York City, for the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. NYC Revolutionary Trail, a multimedia walking tour which reframes NYC as “the city at the heart of the Revolution,” is now a free smartphone app sponsored by the Downtown Alliance. It is also the basis of “The Occupied City,” a giant exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York opening May 1st and co-presented by The Gotham Center for New York City History, at The Graduate Center (City University of New York). In June, the Gotham Center will also be releasing Echoes of Revolution: NYC, a gamified version of the Trail using augmented reality from the universe of Assassin’s Creed, developed in partnership with the French video game publisher Ubisoft and the Welsh technology studio Sugar Creative.
