Jocelyn Goode\u2019s<\/strong> mural \u201cThe Return of the Horse Whisperers<\/em>,\u201d installed over Rockaway Avenue, portrays women wearing all white, riding on blue stallions in front of a bright red background. According to the artist, this mythological creation speaks to the strength, resilience, and empowerment of the women of Brownsville. \u201cEven though you can see some of the social challenges impacting that community,\u201d said Goode, \u201cone thing that impressed me was the amount of creativity, the amount of raw expression, and a determination to overcome; to not be limited by conditions that they did not create.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Laurent Chevalier\u2019s<\/strong> installation consists of black and white photographs of local community members. \u201cI hope that the people who were photographed are able to walk by again and see themselves,\u201d said Chevalier. \u201cI hope that others are able to recognize their classmates, neighbors, peers, friends, colleagues up there, and I hope that in seeing that, they can feel that this is still their place, even when things change in it.\u201d Focusing his lens on Black America and the African Diaspora, Chevalier\u2019s images contribute an essential visual narrative to the ever growing photographic canon.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sophia Victor\u2019s<\/strong> installation on Chester Street presents portraits of New York City residents who have faced, and resolved, overwhelming life challenges and oppression. She hopes her work will help viewers find beauty in their everyday lives. \u201cI don\u2019t romanticize struggle, but I\u2019ve learned to find beauty in every challenge and every struggle and situation, and so I hope that people can also gain that when they look at the work,\u201d she said.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
