See portraits of immigrant New Yorkers at this unlikely ferry terminal

""New York Proud" is a celebration of the integral role immigrants play in New York's cultural fabric. By elevating stories from every corner of our city, New York Proud demonstrates the immense contributions immigrants make to the social, cultural and economic life of our city."

"Photographed by Venezuelan documentary photographer Oscar B. Castillo, the exhibition features immigrant New Yorkers in the places where they work and create, like kitchens, studios, clinics, stages and street corners. The subjects range from fruit vendors and chefs to playwrights and doctors, offering a glimpse into the many roles immigrants play in keeping New York running."

"Public art can spark dialogue, encourage inclusivity, and connect people from all walks of life. The portraits aim to spark conversation while honoring the strength and resilience of the communities they depict."

The St. George Ferry Terminal hosts a new pop-up photo exhibition featuring striking portraits of immigrant New Yorkers at work. Part of the third annual "New York Proud" campaign organized by the New York Immigration Coalition and Photoville, the installation transforms the transit hub into a public gallery. Venezuelan documentary photographer Oscar B. Castillo captured immigrant workers in their professional environments—kitchens, studios, clinics, stages, and street corners—depicting fruit vendors, chefs, playwrights, and doctors. The exhibition demonstrates immigrants' integral role in New York's social, cultural, and economic fabric, celebrating their diverse contributions while sparking dialogue about inclusivity and community strength.
