Here to Stay
Artist
Cathy Deng
An outdoor public art project featuring photo and video montages addressing gentrification, displacement, and community resilience in New York City’s Chinatowns, which will be projected onto buildings and public landmarks in Chinatown and the Lower East Side. The montages will include artwork produced in community workshops led by the Brigade’s three founders in partnership with CAAAV, a grassroots tenants rights and community empowerment organization, and The Illuminator, a political collective that will provide technical assistance and the use of their mobile projection unit.
