Mark This Town offers
people living in New York the chance to get their voices heard through
street art. The team behind the project are Minsun Mini Kim, ‘a curious
learner, educator and visual thinker,’ and Meghana Khandekar an artist
and designer both interested in human rights and doing social good.
The collaboration invites people with messages to share with the city to
fill out an online form with their ideas along with a $1 donation to
cover materials that are all sustainable. Once a week, messages are
drawn from a lottery and the selected message is stenciled in New York,
mapped and photographed. Individuals who submit the selected message
receive the original stencil used in the project, a printed picture of
the final mark and a place in the artists’ gallery. The scheme also
follows themes each month, for April it was ‘Street Harassment’ and for
May it’s ‘Neighbors’ allowing the work to be trended and for there to be
a particular focus at the final exhibition.
