Giving 200 FREE oil-painted portraits from life to keep-- with in-the-moment recorded oral histories-- to Southern Brooklyn residents in one year to connect neighbors, transcend boundaries, and radically democratize who gets to be documented. A portrait of a place through its people. #WeAreSouthernBrooklyn
