“Crows before hoes” is a twist on the phrase “bros before hoes,” meaning that loyalty to friends or one’s crew comes before romantic or sexual relationships. It’s often used in subcultures like street art to emphasize the importance of solidarity and loyalty among peers. IMK (photo © Jaime Rojo)

BSA Images Of The Week: 07.30.23

Welcome to BSA Images of the Week!

“Lord have mercy, it is motherf_______ hot out here,” said the teenage girl standing at a bus stop near the Marcy subway station on Broadway yesterday as we trudged by. She was right, and the heat felt like waves coming off the pavement and buildings in the late afternoon haze and blasting bright sun. We leave this searing and steamy, sometimes smokey, July and stumble toward August, looking for a handkerchief and a glass of lemonade and patience. New York, at its polar extremes, is more than challenging at times for everyone on the street, on the subway platform, in the barbershop, in the laundromat, on the stoop, in traffic, and in the park. Riding your bike through the streets gives you a little breeze, and new street art regales you with news of the day.

Here’s our weekly interview with the street, this week featuring: Neckface, Plannedalism, V Ballentine, Enrinko Studios, Seb Bouchard, Words on the Street, Alex Itin, Loove Labs, Shirk, Crash 42170, George Spencer, and Snake.

Plannedalism and Erinko Studio’s tribute to Sinead O’Connor; A fierce, unapologetic, brave, determined, soulful, vulnerable, and emotionally charged singer, songwriter, performer, and truth-teller who often felt alone and lonely in this world. We followed and watched as she performed in her distinctive voice and style, often breaking new ground and speaking her truth when most people didn’t want to hear any of it. Loved for her talents and willingness to tread in deeply troubled waters, she was often ridiculed and marginalized for her bravery. Despite her public and private struggles, it looked like she had found acceptance and, hopefully, a sense of serenity in her native Ireland in recent years. May she now rest in peace. Thank you, Sinead. (photo © Jaime Rojo)

Artist Plannedalism visualizes the relationship between popular culture, entertainment, shallow consumerism, hypocrisy, and the ongoing news about the increasingly inhumane stance of some regarding immigration, refugees, and barbed wire installed on the Texan’s Rio Grande/Southern Border.
