BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
Welcome to BSA Images of the Week. The first World Cup match kicked off just across the river in New Jersey yesterday, and last night the hometown champion Knicks took over your rooftop—or at least a giant screen courtesy of your cousin Eddie, who hosted a raucous watch party where fair-weather fans from every corner of the fandom universe yelled at referees, second-guessed coaches, and hugged strangers after every basket. The city is on an exhuberant high because the New York Knicks have won their first NBA championship since 1973, ending a 53-year title drought.
Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., people reportedly picnicked, sang God Bless America, and otherwise celebrated as the president’s name was removed from the Kennedy Center wall—just in time for a professional wrestling spectacle that the president is staging on the White House lawn today to celebrate his birthday.
Ah, bread and circuses. The games grow grander as the purse grows lighter.
Congratulations to the world’s first trillionaire, Elon Musk! Rome would be proud. The only thing missing is a senator feeding grapes to a tech CEO on a livestream. That’s probably next week.
Here’s our weekly interview with the streets, featuring: Andaluz the Artist, CARVE, Crash, Fumero, Gusto NYC, Harold Hunter, Jorit, Mike Makatron, Nemezoid, Qrusty, Tone Wash, and V. Ballentine.
