Rescue Public Murals News
Rescue Public Murals is working with the West 46th Street Block
Association and other concerned neighbors to raise funds to restore Arnold Belkin’s
1972 mural Against Domestic Colonialism. It is the only surviving mural in
the United States by this Mexican master and is New York City’s oldest
extant community mural. Since being painted forty years ago, it has suffered
flaking and fading paint. The wall it is painted on has water damage and
drainage issues.
Pending funding, the restoration of Against Domestic Colonialism will
begin in summer 2012—the 40th anniversary of the mural and the 20th
anniversary of the death of Belkin. Please contact _Kristen Laise_
(mailto:klaise at heritagepreservation.org) to learn how to contribute to this project. Read
