2022 was a year of powerful contrasts — joy and protest, celebration and struggle, tradition and transformation. The streets of New York and beyond became the stage for resistance and resilience as people rallied for reproductive rights, marched against gun violence, demanded climate action, and honored cultural identity.
A Fixed Moment was there for it all: the end of Roe v. Wade, the outpouring of outrage and solidarity in Foley Square, and the marches that followed. But also the electric joy of the Mermaid Parade, the rhythm of the West Indian Day Parade, the sweat and triumph of the NYC Marathon, and the wild creativity of SantaCon and Halloween. This archive is a tribute to a city — and a people — who never stop moving, speaking out, and showing up.
