(IN)VISIBLE VANDALS

CUNY X DYSTURB PHOTO PROJECT

Art is a vehicle by which the unseen becomes visible and the voiceless heard. Subversive artists and immigrants have a shared experience in being relegated to the fringes of society, despite significant contributions to the worlds they inhabit.

Art has immigrated through people both physically and conceptually. Immigrants and the children of immigrants continue to use art as a way to create and sustain community. To find and express identity. To paint the spaces they inhabit with colors that look and feel like home. They weave their identities, past and present in a nod to the future and in reverence to their past.
