Caledonia Curry, aka Swoon, is the renowned American street artist best known for her large-scale wheat paste portraits, intricate paper cutouts and surreal installations portraying diverse individuals while evoking personal stories. Swoon is currently preparing to unveil a new moving installation as part of a national series called American Portrait by PBS. Made in collaboration with Radical Media, the project commissions leading artists to create three large-scale stationary and roaming vehicle public art installations in three U.S. cities including New York. The initiative highlights “poignant messages of community, empathy, and understanding tied to themes explored throughout the American Portrait initiative,” as per a statement.
