The Controversy Surrounding the New Grounded in the Stars Art Installation in Times Square
A recent addition to the iconic Times Square in New York City has ignited widespread debate and criticism. The installation, titled "Grounded in the Stars," features a striking 12-foot-tall bronze sculpture of a plus-sized Black woman with dreadlocks standing defiantly amidst the busy billsboards and bustling crowds. Created by artist Thomas J. Price, the piece has quickly become a divisive symbol of modern "woke" art and political activism.
