Today on Maake, we talk with @assemblyroom founders Yulia Topchiy @yuliatopchiy Paola Gallio @paolagallio and Natasha Becker @natasha.becker about their new gallery in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The founders created Assembly Room to create opportunities for female curators to collaborate, create work, curate exhibitions, build community, defy the status quo, and so much more. Read the full interview to find out more about the founders, the gallery, how it began, the new Sidewalk Cellar where they just began a season of films in the space, opportunities for independent women curators, and more.
