SEDICESIMO 75: RICCARDO VECCHIO

In 2022, as a recipient of an NYC Artist Corp Grant, Vecchio created 31 Degrees, a public project that aims to bring attention to issues of climate & environmental injustice. The project title takes its name from a collaborative study that heat mapped several cities in North America. The study demonstrates how poor communities & communities of colour are disproportionately impacted by heat. And moreover, that climate inequality follows the same patterns of income inequality.The drawings, inspired by the work of Dürer and Altorfer, will be transformed into site specific murals to bring some arboreal beauty to neighbourhoods where walls are more prevalent than trees.
