Video: WK Interact Speaks Sbout Project Brave

Back in September of 2011 we shared some photos of a WKInteract project which focused on a large series of wheatpastes in New York City that paid tribute to the first responders of 9/11. He called this Project Brave. Last week, a video popped up online with WK and others explaining the project plus some shots of it coming together. Directed by Luigi Comandatore.

WK Interact: Project Brave Instillation

Earlier in the week we told you of Street Artist WK Interact’s 9-11 tribute titled “Project Brave” to be officially unveiled this Sunday September 11^th on the corner of Kent avenue and North 4^th in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.  Now thanks to the man himself I can share some photos of the instillation process. The piece runs 400 feet wide by 14 feet high and is pretty spectacular.

Kent Avenue (between North 4th & North 5th Streets)
Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York

To commemorate the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, street artist WK Interact collaborates with New York City firefighters to create a large-scale public mural, measuring 328 feet (100 meters) wide. Full of passion and motion, his images of the iconic firefighter (NY’s bravest) symbolize the many heroes that helped New Yorkers survive the tragic events of 2001, and how their courage inspired the world.

WK was born in Caen, France. He has lived and worked in NYC for the past 20 years. He feels grateful and proud to be a French New Yorker. With this mural he wishes to pay tribute to all the heroes of 9/11 and give something back to the city of New York.
