Brick by Brick
BY DARIA AMAI SHELTON
“Brick by Brick” explores the themes of structural oppression. How the lived experiences of people, especially the most disenfranchised, are often devalued but are in fact the very foundation of society. The art piece will be both a physical installation on the plant bed as well as an augmented reality filter which extends the piece. The QR code and/or hyperlink to launch the augmented reality filter will be available at the installation site, and below:

Ridgewood, Queens NY

The Fallow Frames Biennial is an upcoming public art festival that will be held on July 13th and 14th, where local artists are invited to use 24 abandoned tree beds to stage site-specific installations and performances.
Visitors are invited to wander the neighborhood as active participants in a larger narrative of renewal and artistic expression - and to spark conversations about urban ecology and these small neglected patches of the city’s landscape.
