The Hoboken Historical Museum is proud to invite you to the opening reception of our latest exhibit in the Upper Gallery, “Sirens in the Night: Drawings from the 1980s by Tim Daly,” on Sunday, January 26, 2025 from 2 PM to 5 PM. Admission is free!
“Sirens in the Night: Drawings from the 1980s by Tim Daly” references, and is influenced by the period of Hoboken Fires that led to a drastically different housing landscape and rapid gentrification. Puerto Rican families, and other tenants of color, were steadily driven out of Hoboken due to arson, intimidation, and the subsequent rising cost of living. Tim recalls the inescapable smell of smoke present in the air and how entire families perished.
Tim’s profound exhibit captures cityscapes of a lost era, including carefree children playing on the street, and men sitting outdoors smoking, deep in discussion, with graffiti in the background. Rent was cheap, and the vibrant sense of community ever-present. Tim honors this unique time in Hoboken history, and invites us as the viewers to do the same.
