You Are Not Alone Murals at South Street Seaport: Jason Naylor, Kasi Turpin, Eric W Lee, Calicho Arevalo, Subway Doodle & Will Pay, Zipeng Zhu and Efdot & Jessie Mordine

With support from lead sponsors NAMI NYC and the Howard Hughes Corporation, seven new alluringly fashioned You Are Not Alone Murals have made their way onto the South Street Seaport in honor of the 2022 BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month.  Pictured above are the works of the prolific Brooklyn-based artist Jason Naylor and, to his right, designer and illustrator Kasi Turpin. Several more photos of YANA murals — painted during two of this month’s hottest days and captured at dusk — follow:
