BSA Images Of The Week: 02.19.23

Welcome to BSA Images of the Week! We’re in the middle of a long weekend thanks to tomorrow’s President’s Day. Usually, its a good weekend for some people to get out of the city to go skiing, but seriously there has been no snow here this year, which is troubling. We might as well stay at home and get to know our friend ChatGPT. Maybe make some comfort food and play board games with it. What? Why did you make a face?

Big things are happening in the Bronx right now, thanks to Tats Cru and the cultural ecosystem surrounding them and the community of Hunts Point in the Boogie Down. See some new images below and look out for some new serious Hip Hop & graffiti collaborations this year.

Here’s our weekly interview with the street, this week featuring: Praxis, Tats Cru, Dmote, Bio, Ribs, Andaluz the Artist, BG183, Qzar, Anahu, R. Flores, XSM, OTL, Skemes, Sheek Louch, The Lox, and YesOne.

A constellation of graffiti writers gathered at Hunts Point in The Bronx to hear KRS ONE The Teacha’s proposal for a project celebrating the 50 years of Hip Hop. KRS ONE and Tats Cru will create an exhibition with 50 graffiti writers to mark this momentous milestone in Hip Hop. BSA will keep you in the loop as the project continues to develop.
