CHALK

Public Art (2004 - present)

 

Each year on the March 25 anniversary of the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, volunteers fan out across the city to inscribe in chalk the names and ages of the victims in front of their former homes. A flier is posted which details how the fire galvanized the fight for social justice for all.

You can search a map of those who perished in the fire or read more about the project in the New York Times or the Forward.
