In January I did this audio tour of the south bronx, narrated by graffiti artist BG183 of Tats Cru. Round the corner of one block, just like any other in Hunt’s Point, you find this:
Homage to the People of the Bronx: Double Dutch at Kelly Street I (Frieda, Javette, Towana and Stancey), 1981-82
cast fiberglass sculptures on building façade, 10’ x 20’
by John Ahearn & Rigoberto Torres
Ahearn and Torres created this and two other murals installed on the exterior walls of apartment buildings with funding from HUD, through the DCA Community Development Program and the Bronx Council on the Arts.
