Images can be found here of a new mural to be unveiled near Times Square at the end of this April. The mural painted by Sofia Maldonado is a depiction of African-American and Hispanic women in New York. The mural is a rather gritty depiction of these women and it seems that many people find this piece of art to controversial to be displayed in a area with as much traffic as Times Square. This statement was made in a release by the protesters: "not one business or professional woman is represented in the mural for balance." This is what is bothering them, along with the fact the African-American women are "depicted in a negative light" and shows them as "cheap looking."
Take a look at some of the images. How do you feel about them? The protesters are arguing that a mural of a more high class woman in a buisness suit would be more appropriate. What do you think?
