Welcome to BSA\u2019s Images of the Week!<\/p>\n Welcome to BSA Images of the Week, to Spring, to the land of Hype and Hustle! <\/p>\n Down in D.C., it\u2019s all smoke, mirrors, and sharp elbows. There\u2019s a full-blown constitutional cage match brewing over deportation flights\u2014judges say no, the President says yes, and now he wants the judge impeached<\/a>. Meanwhile, Trump just yanked security clearances from a list of political enemies <\/a>longer than a CVS receipt. And don\u2019t worry about that secret Pentagon huddle with Elon Musk<\/a>\u2014apparently, it wasn\u2019t<\/em> about China. We all feel reassured, like the stock market last week.<\/p>\n Also on the mic: Bernie and AOC are hitting the road with an \u201cAnti-Oligarchy Tour.\u201d<\/a> Get your T-shirt here. Not to be outdone, the new billionaire Commerce Secretary says seniors missing Social Security checks wouldn\u2019t be a big deal<\/a>. Because, of course, he does.<\/p>\n Back home in NYC, there\u2019s a heavier police presence\u2014more beat cops on the sidewalks, more boots on subway platforms, or at least it feels that way. Some say it\u2019s about safety; others say it\u2019s panic. And let\u2019s be real: it often appears that this city still has no idea what to do with our mentally ill neighbors except push them outside and act shocked when they behave like they\u2019re\u2026 mentally ill.<\/p>\n New polls say Mayor Adams is trailing Cuomo in the fall race<\/a>, but honestly? Nobody\u2019s exactly throwing block parties for either of them. There\u2019s a leadership vacuum\u2014and everyday people are concerned about who will fill it.<\/p>\n But hope blooms in strange places. Like the number 1 train, where Miguel \u201cMike Plants\u201d Andrade\u2014aka The Plant Man<\/a>\u2014has been selling succulents and orchids to passengers, leading us to; And in street art and graffiti? The walls are still talking\u2014shouting, whispering, reflecting us back at ourselves with a sometimes banal, sometimes beguiling presentation. If the overall message feels messy, it\u2019s because the world is messy. But often there\u2019s clarity in the chaos if you squint at it in the right manner.<\/p>\n We continue with our interviews with the street, this week including Faile, Judith Supine, City Kitty, Lexi Bella, Werds, Turtle Caps, Zoot, Corn Queen, Klonism, Zero Productivity, Muska, Nice, Badlucao, LYFR, and Barb Tropolis. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mr. Fijodor: New Works Include People, a Bird, a Tiger and the Natural World<\/b> \u201cSome works have been interrupted, some…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/a><\/p>\n BSA Images Of The Week: 03.19.23<\/b> Here\u2019s our weekly interview with the street, this week featuring: Binho, Patch Whisky, Atomik, Mr. Blob, Ouch, Ghost Beard, Habibi, Mona Dash, John Pierre, …<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/a><\/p>\n “Why is public space not about public discourse?” Urban Nation Berlin. “Love Letters to the City”.
