Steven Englander (1961 - 2024)[1][2] was the director of ABC No Rio from 1998[3] until his passing from a rare lung disease in 2024.[2] He was a Lower East Side squatter who resided at Umbrella House at the time of his death.[4]

ABC No Rio

edit

Englander first got involved with ABC No Rio in the late 1980s and became its associate director in 1989. He retained that title for two years and returned to a leadership position in 1994 to join the three-year fight against eviction.[5] In 1997 Englander, who had lived at ABC No Rio since 1995,[5] and other squatters moved out of the building so that the entire space could be used as a community arts facility.[5]

  • Art in Zines
  • Ides of March[6]
  • clothesline shows
  • Taking It to the Streets[7], "No Rio’s director, Steven Englander, said the show was inspired by questions about how Donald J. Trump’s potential effect as president might be compared to Ronald Reagan’s. Mr. Tobocman, co-editor of a long running political comic book called World War 3 Illustrated, added that one aim of the exhibition was to explore links between contemporary protest movements and past political activism on the Lower East Side that focused on local and national issues."
  • supported three cities against the wall[8]

Under Englander's direction, ABC No Rio raised HOW MUCH MONEY to build a new facility. CITATION NEEDED.

  • raised $300,000 by 2004[9]
  • "But much of the uncertainty vanished last week when the Manhattan borough president, Scott M. Stringer, and City Councilman Alan J. Gerson allocated $1.65 million for a new building."[10]
  • "Mr. Stringer arranged for a capital grant of $750,000, citing ABC No Rio’s resilience and cultural value. The rest of the money came in the form of a grant of $450,000 from Mr. Gerson’s discretionary budget, which was matched with another $450,000 by the City Council. The money will be controlled by the Department of Cultural Affairs."[10]

oversaw move of zine library to CSV[11]

"In addition to supervising a gradual move, Mr. Englander is preparing for the building's final art shows, scheduled to open on June 10. One will exhibit work documenting the building. The other, called "InFinite Futures," will present artists' visions of what the No Rio site could look like in five, 50 and 500 years."[11]

New building[12] "The basement and ground floor of the new building will be completed within about 20 months, Englander said, and the three upper floors will be left partly finished, with walls, windows, ceilings and lighting, but little else. Additional work on those floors will take place during a second phase of construction that has yet to be scheduled, he said." ALSO "“I went to a performance, and I saw Steven Englander bounce a cop out of the backyard,” said Becky Howland. “It was kind of amazing to me. I was like, OK, that’s pretty cool.”" AND "What they needed was a new building, which required a new level of partnership with No Rio’s old nemesis, the city. Englander, who had given up his squat after the original agreement, took on the task of assuaging the anarchists within the organization.

“I say, I make the compromises so you don’t have to,” he said."

Other Activism

edit

Englander was an anarchist who was involved with the Anarchist Switchboard and the Libertarian Book Club and League. Of the former, he stated in an oral history interview "I was actually one of the few people who was responsible for keeping it going."[1] Keeping organizations going was a trademark of Englander's activism.
