On May 28th, 2026, the creative underground found a home in the jungle atmosphere of Selva for the opening of Heidi Hartwig’s Friends From New York (FFNY) Art Show.
Know for her striking, cinematic photography and deep roots in the music and fashion scenes, Hartwig transformed the venue into a celebration of human connection.
For a deeper look into how Hartwig fosters community and the philosophy that inspires her work, check out this interview on How to Find Your People (with Heidi Hartwig), which explores why nightlife and face-to-face connection are essential in a digital world.

Friends From New York (FFNY) is not just a culture label; it is a downtown institution that functions as a living archive of New York City’s creative soul. Born from the grit and grace of the ’90s, FFNY bridges the gap between the city’s storied past and its vibrant present through limited-edition apparel, multimedia storytelling, and legendary gatherings.
By celebrating the artists, DJs, and neighborhood heroes who keep the city “weird, sharp, and generous,” FFNY serves as a bridge for day-one New Yorkers and the creative class alike, proving that in a city of millions, the right energy can collapse six degrees of separation into one.
