Murals and Mosaics of Spanish Harlem: A "Street Art Gallery"
Overview
The many colorful murals and mosaics of Spanish Harlem (AKA East Harlem) tell us so much about the history, culture, and politics of this under-appreciated NYC neighborhood and its residents. Some of the public art is dedicated to accomplished citizens of Spanish Harlem, such as the writers Julia de Burgos and Nicholasa Mohr. Others honor world-famous people including Celia Cruz & Che Guevara. Many of the murals and mosaics celebrate the Latin culture of the neighborhood. They also bring into the streets the gorgeous scenery of the tropical islands which so many members of this community left behind. Visitors to Spanish Harlem are always dazzled by the public art there. Here is what some of them said: "The Spanish Harlem tour with Leigh was a great investment of 2 hours. The tour was rich in information & cultural & neighborhood significance. Leigh is a terrific guide to it all. I have done many walking tours, and this is one of the best. Not to be missed if you are visiting New York".
