The mural "Against Domestic Colonialism" was painted in 1973 by Arnold Belkin with the help of the residents of the Hell's Kitchen community. A tumultuous time in NYC, Arnold Belkin gathered the community to assist in creating this poignant and timely message "We the People Demand Control of our Communities", a message that still resonates to our communities today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640204be4b06c325c7703f4/1447043361262-EL9535TCD8220Y2GK4C9/image-asset.jpeg Mural Recreation - Mathews-Palmer Playground mural "Against Domestic Colonialism" by Arnold Belkin Arnold Belkin's only remaining mural in the U.S. "Against Domestic Colonialism".

Throughout the years concrete patches have covered over much of the top portion of the mural. Plaster has dropped out and water leaks have created a need for a resurfacing of the wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5640204be4b06c325c7703f4/1462132843974-QMMFM2AGTCU1ECH2E8M1/image001.jpg Mural Recreation - "Against Domestic Colonialism" NYC circa 1973 Found in the archives this photo shows the Mathews-Palmer Playground and freshly painted mural by Arnold Belkin in 1973.
