I Am Harlem: Past, Present, Future

[Video by Catherine KittyRose Warren.]

The “I Am Harlem” mural celebrates Harlem past, present, and future, and features art direction by Harlem’s own Aleathia Brown. Made possible by the SAFE in Harlem Coalition and Harlem’s teens, special thanks also go out to the Pillars Recovery Center, Infinity Mennonite Church, Felecia Pullen, Rev. Al Taylor, Marissa Molina, Nico Collazo, and Harlem Village Academies High School.

Students from Harlem Village Academies High School explored the concept and developed design ideas during after school workshops the spring. Community volunteers helped execute their vision in the fall.

The community gathered to celebrate the mural at a ribbon cutting on October 13, 2017.
