Christine Wong Yap: How I Keep Looking Up

Join us for the official unfurling of How I Keep Looking Up, on Flag Day, June 14, at 11am. A public artwork by artist Christine Wong Yap created in collaboration with seniors from Encore Community Services, the flags on display represent the personal stories of eleven Encore seniors and their individual sources of resilience in the face of adversity. Each flag was proudly sewn by professional stitchers from New York City’s theater community, whose livelihood has been on pause due to the closure of Broadway and other performance spaces since March of last year.

How I Keep Looking Up is part of Times Square Arts’ public artist-in-residence program, which pairs socially engaged artists with communities and organizations in Times Square to respond to the social, cultural, and political challenges we face as a city and a society.
