Harlem Sculpture Gardens expands to the Broadway Corridor with two new works, including one created by iliana emilia García.
"According to artist Iliana Emilia Garcia, 'In conceiving Trinity, I wanted to pay homage to the diverse immigrant communities that reside near the Broadway Malls. The flat versions of the typical handmade Dominican chair, sitting as in conversation and contemplation, represent the time spent and lived out of your native land, the places that have become home, and the shadows that track the movement of time and history as we stand firm in a place we now call home. Shapes, smells, and sounds fluctuate back and forth, creating new individuals and chapters in the richly diverse history of our communities. In search of light, guidance, and opportunities, one looks north and upwards.'"
