Ellis / Imigrantes – Mural na fachada da City-As-School, uma escola pública em West Village, em Manhattan, mostra retratos de cinco imigrantes reais que chegaram a Nova York cerca de 100 anos atrás e passaram pela Ilha Ellis, o principal ponto de entrada de estrangeiros que vieram para os Estados Unidos entre o fim do século 19 e o início do século 20. Com 800 metros quadrados, este painel é o maior de toda a série 'Cores Pela Liberdade'. Uma curiosidade: esta é a escola onde estudou o artista Jean-Michel Basquiat. / Hi, friends! This mural, on the facade of the City-As-School, a public school in Manhattan's West Village, portraits five real immigrants who arrived in New York about 100 years ago and had been to Ellis Island, an entry point of foreigners who came to the United States between the late 19th century and the early 20th century. With 8,600 square feet (800 square meters), this piece is the largest of the entire 'Colors For Freedom' series. Fun fact: this is the school where the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat went. #ellisisland
