15. Flying High for Equality on View in Joyce Kilmer Park

Rendering of Flying High for Equality at Joyce Kilmer Park in the Bronx

The Venezuelan-American artists, Patricia Cazoria and Nancy Saleme (an Aunt and Niece collaborative team) began working together in 2010. Their installation in Joyce Kilmer Park in the Bronx, entitled Flying High for Equality, was inspired by American novelist, Richard Bach’s book, Jonathan Livington Seagull, using sparrows as a metaphor for resilience, audacity, intelligence, beauty, and the ongoing search for equality.

Flying High for Equality is part of the Art in the Parks: UNIQLO Park Expressions Grant, bringing art installations to ten parks this June.
