Josefina was probably being interviewed by NY1 and Rose was on her way.
My friend with the camera left when the crowd was still building and before the reception at Parsons. I’ll try to find more pictures of the festivities.
EDIT: found a couple pictures of the signs posted at Parsons where they hosted the reception, but not during the reception.
On 13th Street just east of 5th AvenueThis location was a few windows down from where the class put up the lenticular linear zoetropes during the spring semester, as seen in these posts — Parsons student linear zoetrope videos, New images and videos of the Parsons Displays, and Update #1 on the Union Square display.
