Jazmine Hayes brings affirmations of care to Brownsville public art

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Jazmine Hayes’s I Am Protected places four designs at the entrances of Brooklyn’s Brownsville Multi-Service Center through New York City’s Percent for Art programme. In Hyperallergic, Rhea Nayyar reports that Hayes intended the commission to offer children a sense of protection and community. ArtBridge describes her wider practice as exploring African-diaspora histories, inherited cultural traditions and Black women’s rituals of care.
