Chelsea/E. Harlem

Chelsea and East Harlem cut striking contrasts. Where one was once an industrial and working class hub and is now a high-end arts, housing, and tourist destination, the other has for decades been identified with working class Latino migrant communities, only recently experiencing the reach of gentrification. These differences – but also some significant similarities – are dramatically captured in the public art of each neighborhood.
