Kanami Kusajima, dance-painting in Washington Square. Photo: suoicsnocnu In June, when it was still possible to imagine that life in New York would soon return to normal, a poster commissioned by City Hall appeared on bus shelters and sidewalk kiosks all over town. It showed a young woman dancing, her gaze lifted toward the sky, her long dark hair flying straight up into the air like the jets of water spouting from the Washington Square Park fountain behind her.
A few days later, Kusajima sat down with me on the rim of the fountain. It was shortly after dark, around 9 p.m. on one of the nicest evenings of the summer, and the park was filled with all kinds of people: teenagers flying by on scooters and skateboards, grizzled chess players bent over their games, a very tall young man in a newsboy cap and suspenders. A friend could be heard in the distance banging on a drum kit.
We strolled through the park, chatting with people she knew. “You’re all over the city!” one man called out. “That’s pretty cool!” Navil Corbetts, better known as Navil the Dream, a Surrealist painter from Ecuador who wore a fake jaguar tooth on a necklace, told us that the police had hassled him for displaying the prices of his paintings. A pair of officers stood under a nearby lamppost as we spoke. “They are just standing there for hours and hours,” Kusajima said.
