»10th and Stuyvesant Streets and 2nd Avenue

St.-Marks-In-The-Bowery, at the intersection of 10th and Stuyvesant Streets and 2nd Avenue, often has something happening in front of it.

A group of young women, all wearing similar white blouses, medium-length black skirts, and bright safety orange face masks, stood in the square outside the church, calmly marching in place. As we watched, a similarly-attired woman opened the box and walked in; the man in front of me helpfully said that this was her work. Her dance? Her performance? Her political statement? He did not know, but expressed admiration and fascination.
