Welcome to BSA Images of the Week. Yesterday, New York’s streets filled with protests, marches, performances, and signs—you might even call some of it art.
From Columbus Circle through Times Square and across the boroughs, the No Kings march moved with swing, swagger, rage, humor, and a street rhythm that feels like NYC at its best. Hand-lettered signs and flags bobbed above the crowd like fresh ink on a city wall, while chants carried down the avenue, through the parks, up the blocks. “Regime change begins at home” stood out among the messages, mere weeks before the country’s mid-term elections, expected to change things, at least in some measure. Police counted tens of thousands in New York City; organizers put the citywide turnout at more than 350,000.

“Ain’t seen the light since we started this band
M.C.A. get on the mike, my man!
Born and bred Brooklyn
The U.S.A.
They call me Adam Yauch
But I’m M.C.A.”
According to New York Magazine the Post-it “artists” took their craftsmanship to new heights after someone installed a simple “hi” message on the window of one of the two buildings facing each other on Canal Street. After one week the “war” is in full effect with several messages directed at each other offices ranging from “Will you marry me” to songs’ lyrics and other pleasantries and pop references. The two buildings are known for housing several ad agencies, Getty images and New York Magazine.
