    La Gota Rompe la Piedra

    Artist: Layqa Nuna Yawar
    Location: 14 Jersey Ave New Brunswick, NJ, 08901 US
    Completed: Jul 1, 2018
    Sponsoring Organizations: New Brunswick Tomorrow’s Esperanza Neighborhood Project, coLAB Arts, and the Brodsky Center

    This artwork, at the corridor’s central intersection, serves as an identity statement for the Esperanza Neighborhood Project. Neighborhood families, many of whom immigrated from the Oaxaca region of Mexico, engaged with artist Layqa Nuna Yawar, an internationally known graduate of Rutgers, to explore what it means to transmit culture across lands and generations. The title, “La gota rompe la piedra,” is drawn from a Spanish saying that “a drop of water breaks the stone, not by its strength but by its perseverance.”
