Donald Trump in riot gear. A tearful Statue of Liberty. Young activists and Peanuts characters holding megaphones and Black Lives Matter signs.
Street art adorning boarded-up storefronts in New York City tells us about our shared political realities and the ways our stories are connected. And it is not very different from the portraits and individual stories painted by ancestors 17,000 years ago in the caves of Lascaux, France, writes our art critic @sephsees.
“If you walk the streets of SoHo, the alleys of the Lower East Side, and heavily trafficked avenues in Brooklyn, as I did over the last few weeks, you will see these symbols and signs and might wonder at their meanings,” he writes. “What became apparent to me is that in the intervening millenniums between those cave paintings and the killing of George Floyd, the messages we share, like the sociopolitical circumstances that impel them, have become more complex.”
