 Jones' residency celebrated Fort Greene's African-American constituency Millennium Artist Seitu Jones worked with residents of the Fort Greene neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, and 651 ARTS, to design and implement public art installations inspired by their concerns in relation to the changing demographics of the community. Jones' overall goal was to create artworks expressing and celebrating the neighborhood's African-American constituency, a constituency waning in numbers due to increasing levels of gentrification. Above, Jones constructs a foam replica of a memorial reading bench honoring writer Richard Wright he designed. All rights reserved.
