SILENT WISHES

“Silent wishes, unconscious dreams and prayers… fulfilled” is an art installation composed of brownstone chunks that record the passing of Hartford youths who died as a result of either gang violence, domestic violence, drug abuse or AIDS. The texts etched into the surface of the boulders were recorded in 1994 during interviews with friends, loved ones, and surviving family members.  Real Art Ways commissioned the piece. Renowned artist Carl Pope, Jr. produced it.  Originally located in a vacant lot on Albany Avenue, it was moved to this location and rededicated on September 11, 2011, thanks to a grant from the Greater Hartford Arts Council. 

DESEOS SILENCIOSOS

“Deseos silenciosos, sueños inconscientes y oraciones… cumplidas” es una instalación de arte compuesta de trozos de piedra rojiza que registran el fallecimiento de jóvenes de Hartford que murieron como resultado de violencia de pandillas, violencia doméstica, abuso de drogas o SIDA. Los textos grabados en la superficie de las rocas se grabaron en 1994 durante entrevistas con amigos, seres queridos y familiares sobrevivientes. Real Art Ways encargó la pieza. El renombrado artista Carl Pope, Jr. lo produjo. Originalmente ubicado en un lote baldío en la avenida Albany, se trasladó a este lugar y se volvió a dedicar el 11 de septiembre de 2011, gracias a una subvención del Greater Hartford Arts Council.
