Snowden image makes brief return appearance at Fort Greene Park
A day after an unauthorized 100-pound bust of controversial whistleblower Edward J. Snowden was removed from Fort Greene Park, a group of artists projected a hologram of the bust in the exact same location.
A group called the Illuminators recreated the bust electronically for about 20 minutes on Tuesday morning, according to The New York Times. The Times quoted Kyle Depew, a member of group, as saying, “We wanted to further the discussion.”
Fort Greene Park is home to the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument, which honors American revolutionaries who died during the Revolutionary War on British prison ships docked off the Brooklyn waterfront.
