Description
The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan (at Canal Street) with Brooklyn (at Flatbush Avenue Extension). It was the last of the three suspension bridges built across the lower East River, following the Brooklyn and the Williamsburg bridges. The bridge was opened to traffic on December 31, 1909 and was designed by Leon Moisseiff, who later designed the infamous original Tacoma Narrows Bridge that opened and collapsed in 1940.
The Ship of Tolerance has been the main attraction at the Dumbo Art Festival 2013 in Brooklyn, New York. During the Festival it has been located almost under the Manhattan Bridge, which connects Manhattan with Brooklyn.
The mission of the Ship of Tolerance is to educate and connect youth of different continents, cultures, and identities through the language of art.
It is a conceptual piece that is meant to reflect how divergent cultures interpret tolerance and how these interpretations overlap. The ship's sails are stitched together from paintings by hundreds of local schoolchildren from different ethnic and social backgrounds, and will convey a message of tolerance and hope.
