Explore two very unique Brooklyn neighborhoods - DUMBO and Bushwick and figure out your place in each. DUMBO has warehouse-turned-million-$-condos and picture-perfect views of the city. Bushwick has the best collection of street art in all five boroughs (and arguably, the country!) Both neighborhoods were industrial, gritty & left for dead before artists and hipsters gentrified them. What’s similar between the two? What’s different? Where do you belong?
More than a Street Art 101 tour, our guides explain how this art came out of neighborhood neglect, redlining of minority-based home ownership and the collapse of urban manufacturing. Throughout our 3-hour adventure, we’ll explain the ins and outs of street art and graffiti, highlighting stencils, wheatpastes, tags, bombs and more.
