YUME:COMMUNITY: BRIDGING THE GAP

Alot is continuously changing in Brooklyn these days. There is a continuous series of buildings being built particularly in the lower Brooklyn neighborhoods (CROWN HEIGHTS, BED STUY, RED HOOK, etc.) YUME will be embarking on a project we like to call "BRIDGING THE GAP." With the displacement and disconcertion of residents in these neighborhoods who can not afford the new high rents or barely making their rent, we feel there is nothing that inspires them daily.

YUME in collaboration with SEE ONE and a few other artists in the YUME FAM, will be doing murals throughout these areas to incite hope and inspiration into the residents that feel hopeless as well as giving the new residents something they can appreciate. We hope to BRIDGE THE GAP between the new and old residents by sparking conversation through different messages of unity within the reality of what is happening in Brooklyn and how it has an adverse effect on both new and old residents within these geographic areas, that are prime real estate for the new developments being built.

Make sure you look out for more posts on this project and if you want to get involved please e-mail us at yumeuk@gmail.com
