This past Saturday and Sunday, we welcomed New Yorkers to Astoria Houses and Bronx River Houses for a closer look at the power of public art in public housing for @ohny Weekend! From Revolving Voices, an interactive sculpture created by From Roots to Arts artist-in-residence Tamra Cosby in collaboration with The Urban Conga, to The Home That Inspired the World by Tats Cru and Mark Lawrence, a mural celebrating 75 years of Bronx River Houses and its rich cultural legacy, each tour offered an opportunity to explore the stories, creativity, and histories that make these communities so special. A huge thank you to our artists TatsCru, @TheUrbanConga 5thvisionart, Tamra Cosby, @DomGloverNY, Anubis, residents, and partners The Harlem Bombshelter, HANAC Astoria Cornerstone, , @NYCHA, @CASW_BronxRiver, @photoville, @bbgconnects, and @ohny for helping us open these spaces to the broader public and celebrate the importance of preserving and uplifting the cultural contributions of NYCHA communities. Special shout out to the Open House New York Weekend Debbie, Amber, Sebastian, Shelley, Mary Yee, and Helen for support! Until next time! 💛 Photos by @TeemoneeNYC & Kemi Karim #SpottedatFRTA #OpenHouseNewYorkWeekend #PublicArt #PublicHousing #FromRootstoArts #NYCHA

📣 REVOLVING VOICES: Astoria Houses, in residents’ own words. From the beginning, From Roots to Arts was designed to ensure that public art in public housing doesn’t simply arrive in a community but grows from it. Working alongside artist Tamra Cosby and The Urban Conga, Astoria Houses residents helped shape Revolving Voices through photography, storytelling, creative-building activities, conversations, and community voting. Residents reflected on the past, present, and future of Astoria Houses and shared their own memories and experiences of the place they call home. Tamra continued those conversations throughout her residency, transforming what she heard into the written work incorporated directly into the finished sculptures, including the powerful reminder that “voices echo through time.” The result is more than a new public artwork. It is a platform for community voice, memory and possibility, created with Astoria Houses residents and rooted in the stories already living there. From Roots to Arts connects local artists with NYCHA residents through community-based artist residencies, creating new ways for residents and artists to tell stories together and redefine what art in public housing can look like. The program is generously funded by the Mellon Foundation, Humanities in Place program. From Roots to Arts is part of Connected Communities, advancing participatory planning and design to strengthen both the physical and social connections between residents and their communities. 📸 Photo Credit: Tameek Williams #FromRootsToArts #RevolvingVoices #AstoriaHouses #PublicArt #ResidentLedDesign – at Hoboken, NJ

🌿✨ Green Space Connections 3.0 is here! We’re hitting the ground running across all four sites, joining Family Days, meeting residents, sharing what’s coming, and getting excited about what we can build together. And this is only the beginning. 💚 Participatory design kicks off in September, giving residents a real voice in shaping the future of these spaces. More events, more ways to get involved, and more updates are coming soon. Follow along! 🌱 #GreenSpaceConnections #NYCHA #PublicHousing #CommunityDesign #NYC – at Hoboken, NJ

Looking back at the opening of a space built for learning, connection, and opportunity at Harborview Terrace Houses. 💙 From the first day, the goal was simple: create new pathways and possibilities for NYCHA residents, and build something that can grow for years to come. The 53,000-square-foot transformation at Harborview was brought to life through the love and dedication of the community, our team, the designers at Grain, the contractors at CLS, and the generous support of our funding partner, the Pershing Square Foundation. Let’s bring more JOY to NYCHA campuses across the city. #NYCHA #PublicHousing #Opportunity #Community @GrainCollectiv @PershingSqFdn – at Manhattan, NY

On August 8th, we brought together residents, artists, and community partners for a day of wellness, connection, and exploration through public art. 🚲🎨 Joined by 20 riders, we traveled 14.5 miles from Riis Houses in Manhattan to Borinquen Plaza in Brooklyn, exploring how community engagement, storytelling, and preservation come to life through public art. Along the way, we activated our Art at NYCHA guide on @bbgconnects the free arts and culture app, connecting riders to the stories, histories, and artworks rooted in NYCHA communities. This experience would not have been possible without our incredible partners at @UpwayShop who provided e-bikes for an exhilarating test ride, and @NYC_DOT who provided helmets to help keep our riders safe throughout the journey. 🚲✨ A huge thank you to our collaborators Jerome Haferd Studio, @CUA_Design and especially @NYCthrive who welcomed our riders and gave us an inside look at what it takes to create meaningful public art with community and build a brighter, more equitable future for public housing across NYC.
