Youth from East River Houses co-created the work
Adinkra symbols originated from the Asante Kingdom

Construction scaffolding becomes a canvas for East Harlem itself. You'll find 220 feet of striking black-and-white portraits of local residents alongside bold Adinkra symbols celebrating the African diaspora, all transforming boring barriers into monumental community art.
