Hester Street Collaborative Year of the Snake Lantern

Every year the Hester Street Collaborative works with 150 local middle school students at M.S. 131 to create a two month-long lantern installation in Sara D. Roosevelt Park in Chinatown. In the sixth year of this project, to celebrate the Year of the Snake, the students have constructed a 180 foot long snake along one of the walkways in the park.
