Fresh from a buying trip to the women-run co-operative workshops of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, Bingo Bill Exchange is back for its second pop-up at Chinatown Experiment (585 E. Broadway). Partial proceeds from the sale of beautiful cushions, ottomans, wool felt carpets and jewelry will benefit the Hope in Shadows photo project of the DTES community.
