Footprints: Portrait of a Brooklyn Neighborhood
February 13, 2007 - April 21, 2007
Central Library, Grand Lobby
The proposed Atlantic Yards arena and building complex in Brooklyn is poised to be one of the largest redevelopment projects ever undertaken in New York City. Its targeted 22-acre site is known as the "Footprint."
In the midst of the debate over the future of Atlantic Yards and of Brooklyn, a group of local artists have joined together in an effort to move beyond the sound bites and take a closer look at this contested place and its community.
Footprints: Portrait of a Brooklyn Neighborhood stands both as a document of a Brooklyn neighborhood and as an exploration of issues surrounding redevelopment.
