Our Brooklyn is a temporary public art installation created by Brooklyn-based artist Phoebe Lo for the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Celebrating the ways in which Brooklyn communities come together through work, social, and cultural life, the playful and colorful installation spans Flushing Avenue between Clermont Avenue and Carlton Avenue.

Using graphic shapes and icons, Lo’s work is representational and abstracted. The use of acrylic and painted wood creates eye-catching textures while also allowing for the play of light and shadows throughout the day. Lo’s work is soft and surreal and full of symbolism. Motivated by a lifelong dedication to play, she is not bound by one material and works in murals and public art sculptures.

‘Art B.R.U.T’ is all about showcasing the raw, unfiltered creativity of self-taught artists from Swindon and surrounding areas. Inspired by Jean Dubuffet’s idea of ‘Art Brut’ (Raw Art), this exhibition is packed with bold, expressive pieces that break away from the usual rules of art. There’s no formal training here, just pure, unrestrained creativity.

Expect a mix of painting, 2D sculpture and digital art with audio descriptions that immerse you into the creative process. This isn’t just an exhibition—it’s an invitation to challenge what you think art is and reconnect with that spark of creativity we all have inside.
