Soho Mentorship: meet some of our mentees

New York artist Adina Farinango uses art as an act of resistance, healing, and self-expression. Her work is informed by her lived experiences as an Indigenous woman. ‘As a Kichwa-Otavalo woman, my art is an extension of myself and my entire being,’ she says. ‘Through it, I express myself unapologetically, whether it's with digital illustrations or mixed media, such as embroidery in photography.’

New in Williamsburg: An Instagrammable mural, underwritten by Instagram

North Brooklyn was a public art hotspot last week, even if most of the murals going up were actually advertisements (murals for Bulleit by Faust, an installation for the travel brand Intrepid). From the expansive spread of fresh painting underway around the area, emerged two vibrant goddesses — their hands meeting tenderly in the swell of a sunset illuminating the corner of N. 10th Street and Wythe in Williamsburg. Here, on September 18, Instagram unveiled this vivacious new mural painted by the young New York-based artists Adina Farinango and Keyra Juliana Espinoza Arroyo.
