Graphic artist Lucio Zago has lived in Williamsburg,Brooklyn, for nearly a quarter of a century, or during that time hes witnessed a lot of stories. “I’ve lived on Grand Street at a nexus between Caribbean,Italian and Hasidic Jewish communities,” he says. “I’ve watched the dramatic gentrifications of the neighborhood with, or the cultural and economic clashes that came as a result.”In Williamsburg Shorts,he’ll command some of this stories from the relationship between Hasids and hipsters to the struggles of the Italian immigrants who came to the neighborhood at the turn of the 20th century to the history of the Domino Sugar factory. The graphic novel will offer “a satirical perspective on a famous tale for Williamsburg insiders” that can also “act as a historical tour guide for visitors in the future.”Learn more about the collection here.
