She’s the queen of the underground, and is giving back to the city and New Yorkers through sharing their stories one book at a time.
Uli Beutter Cohen is a New York City–based documentarian, artist, and the creator of Subway Book Review.
For 7+ years and counting, Uli has ridden every subway line through New York City to observe, interview, and photograph some of its most imaginative people: the readers of books. Encapsulating what type of books define the minds of New Yorkers, she has now written her very first book, Between the Lines: Stories from the Underground—a collection of conversations that beautifully illuminate who we are and where we are going. Uli has spoken to over 1,000 people in her journey and shares some of her favorite encounters with everyday people and icons alike, including Jamel Shabazz, Lynn Yaeger, New York Nico, Devon Rodriguez, and many others.
In our interview we not only talk Between the Lines, of course, but dive deep into what Uli believes is the defining make up of a contributing New Yorker who not only takes what the city gives, but also gives back; how to make it in the city and find oneself; as well as the ups and downs that led to her success, and the outrageous things people have said to her. She’ll share the magic of New York City neighborhoods and how building a community is essential in the city.
Her fun, magnetic, and relatable journey will leave you hanging on every last word.
