For this week's Mahal, we met back up with outdoor artistAnthony Dominguezto see how he lives and practices his art. We started at the 42nd Street Library, where Anthony spends most of his days creating his work, unwelcomed, but tolerated. We then ventured up to the 79th Street Metro-North Tunnel that Anthony used to inhabit. The dark and serene atmosphere serves as a buffer zone between Anthony and society. A place where he can be left alone with his thoughts while attempting to avoid the constant threats against his freedom he faces daily as a homeless visual artist.
