Recently I read an article on CNN about a mural in New York by an artist named Sofia Maldonado which is drawing controversy because of the manner in which it depicts African American and Hispanic women. I’ve included a video shot by an iReporter below in which several New Yorkers share their opinions about the piece.

Imagine my surprise when yesterday, while walking with a friend through Time Square, I happened upon the very same mural. Here’s a picture that my buddy took of me in front of it:

Sylvia Harvey from the daily voice has a great interview with Sofia in which she gives the artist an opportunity to discuss her thought process behind the piece. Feel free to check it out by clicking here.

What do you think about Sofia’s work?

Hope this finds you feeling healthy!
