Home to one of the largest concentrations of Dominican communities outside of the Dominican Republic, Washington Heights offers a unique experience of Dominican culture that can be appreciated in the buildings and public spaces of the neighborhood. Such culture was depicted in the 2021 movie In The Heights, where historic buildings and public spaces are the centerpieces of all the Dominican cultural expressions.
In this tour, attendees will be able to appreciate some of the most iconic places from the movie, and they will also hear about the process of finding the places that better represent the cultural identity and heritage of Dominican communities.The tour will be led by Angel Ayón, preservation architect founder of AYON Studio and member of HDC board of advisers.
