New York Proud – A Portrait of New York City

Presented in partnership with Photoville, New York Proud is a public art project developed collaboratively by the New York Immigration Coalition, and F.Y. Eye. The Initiative features work from documentary photographer Oscar B. Castillo.

This initiative reaffirms the indispensable role of immigrants in shaping New York City’s identity through a living and growing collection of portraits and stories. It serves as a reminder that immigrants are not only integral to our past but essential to our future, driving innovation, creativity, and progress in every corner of our city.

By centering these narratives, New Yorkers are encouraged to reflect and recognize the essential contributions of immigrants, ensuring our city remains a beacon of pride and progress.

This project is available to view until October 30th.
