Fitgi Saint-Louis's vibrant sculptures, titled 'Aunties,' are now on display at the intersection of 124th Street and Lenox Avenue in Harlem until April 2026. These larger-than-life figures are painted in bold hues and meant to honor the women who shape the community. The NYC Department of Transportation explains that the artwork is designed to invite public interaction and acknowledges the ongoing influence of women in Harlem's culture and history. This piece is part of a wider initiative to promote temporary public art across NYC's boroughs.
"Aunties is an ode to the collective of women, builders, leaders, caretakers, changemakers and creatives who transform Harlem and beyond all while having impeccable style."
"The installation recognizes the continued contributions of aunties to the collective fabric in the past, present and future."
