DC folks: See work by French street artist JR

Last November, “In the picture” profiled the political and collaborative street art of JR. I found his work in disenfranchised communities in Brazil particularly striking. (My original comments.)

JR just completed his first  installation in DC:  A paste-up mural called “I am a man.” It uses imagery from the civil-rights movement, and is by an intersection that was one of the flash points of the movement here in DC. The Washington Post has an interview and photo gallery.

If you’re in town, check it out at 14th and T streets NW.
