NEW YORK MINUTES Jerry Dantzic’s photographs of 1950s New York are on display through this weekend in “Moving” at the Foley Gallery. Mr. Dantzic’s photographs capture the city from Coney Island to the Capital Hotel. He photographed ballerinas onstage at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, revelers in Times Square celebrating the arrival of 1955, and Ingrid Bergman smoking coolly in the backseat of a taxi. “The pictures at Foley are redolent of that time and place, and of the affection Mr. Dantzic – a longtime resident of Brooklyn – had for the city,” William Meyers wrote in his review of the show in The New York Sun. Through Saturday, tomorrow-Saturday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Foley Gallery, 547 W. 27th St., between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, fifth floor, 212-244-9081, free.
BIRTH RITES Robert Galbraith’s photographic stills from George Stoney’s film “All My Babies” are on display through Friday at Columbia University. The 1953 film, for which Mr. Galbraith worked as an assistant cameraman, documents the work of Mary Coley. She was a “granny” midwife who provided obstetric care to hundreds of black women who were barred from hospitals in Georgia during segregation. Through Friday, 1-5 p.m., Columbia University, Hammer Health Sciences Library, West 168th Street and Fort Washington Avenue, 212-305-2280, free.
