Street Art of Immigrants
Some street art on Ludlow Street just south of Delancey on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
These paintings are terribly weathered but the worse-for-wear condition only enhances the overall
beauty of the portraits, which are of actual Chinese and Puerto Rican immigrants who
live(d) in the neighbohood. Below the pictures are transcripts of brief interviews
with each of the subjects depicted in the paintings.
