Street Art of Immigrants

lesart_corsa_nyc_498.jpg

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.
