Hey Neighbors! On today’s program, we speak with Niege Borges. Niege is a visual artist from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Niege now lives in Bushwick, in Brooklyn. One of the interesting things I discussed with Niege was how sometimes, some parts of New York can remind us of our home town. The entirety of today’s program takes place in Bushwick, a neighborhood located in the northern part of Brooklyn. Niege and I met at a cafe on Wyckoff avenue and then we walked through Knickerbocker avenue, known for the many shops and street vendors that set shop on it’s streets.
Stick around for more from Niege, our neighbor from Brazil, currently living in New York City.
