DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — ARTIST KENNETH E. PARRIS III leads “Our America” on the steps of Brooklyn Borough Hall from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, May 1. The free, interactive art installation prompts visitors to write “This land is your land, this land is my land” to build a larger mural.
The focus of the event and the creation of the mural is to give Brooklynites a platform at a public building to share Democratic values. “Our America” is part of the Fall of Freedom national initiative, through which artists and activists have planned several events in May as a response to political concerns such as immigration, free speech and more.
Parris is a New York-based visual artist whose work primarily includes paintings.
