We’re excited because today we get to spend a few minutes on stage with one of our hometown heroes, the artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh. Leveraging her artistry with her politics with her desire to support women and others who are harassed, its a special kind of gold that she creates.
By putting these images of people of color, women, LGBTQ+ folks on the street with their blunt-force sentiments addressed to would-be harassers, she not only stands with them, but Tatyana has also used her work and vision to give them the courage to stand proud, assert their voice and to take public space.
After all, it belongs to the public.
Please join us this evening for a special BSA TALKS program with Tatyana Fazlalizadeh at the Beyond the Streets exhibition in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NYC.

Come join Tatyana as she shares her experiences, observations and perspectives with Steven P. Harrington and Jaime Rojo from Brooklyn Street Art in this riveting discussion on Street Art as change-making activism.
