Harumi Ori's "I am here" at Silvercup Studios

LIC Arts Connection is an innovative, multi-site community arts initiative that builds non-traditional partnerships between public and private landlords, local businesses, employees, students, residents and artists. The goal is to connect LIC’s community, both physically on foot and socially through access to arts and culture. This initiative is part of LICP’s larger portfolio of work towards connecting LIC’s vibrant mixed-use community. Here we share our first four installations, largely completed in 2018.

This mural was conceived and installed by artist Harumi Ori in collaboration with Information Technology High School art club students at Silvercup Studios. The fluorescent orange and yellow mesh were woven together to create sculptures and replicas which highlighted everyday scenes captured in the Long Island City community.
