The Sunset Park Unity Mural Project
Artist
Yukiko Izumi
AMPHS and artist Yukiko Izumi will work with volunteers to install murals on the storefronts of small businesses in Sunset Park that highlight the joys and challenges of the local Asian community and its solidarity with Latino and Arab communities, and beautify areas of the neighborhood with the highest crime rates. The project draws inspiration from the Japanese concept of noren, fabric dividers that add life and vibrancy to commercial districts.
