Everyone Who Lives Heres is a New Yorker

Video Animation, 30 seconds, 2024

Immigration to New York, which has been constant since the city’s founding, but political conservatives now characterize it as a crisis that threatens city life. Fusco created the animation for LinkNYC signs during the 2024 election campaign to consider public perception of newly arrived migrants in New York City. Composed of still photography, ”Everyone Who Lives Here” juxtaposes classic images of early 20th century immigrants by the photographer Lewis Hines (1874–1940) with her own photographs of recent arrivals to New York.
