"Be Well'' (Apollo Theater) 2020 Harlem, NYC by Ruben Natal-San Miguel

Photographer Ruben Natal San-Miguel's "Be Well'' (Apollo Theater) 2020 Harlem, NYC, an image of the Apollo Theatre's marquee at the beginning of the pandemic, captures the intrepid nature of the human spirit when it is faced with unprecedented circumstances. In our grief, we focus on community care, and in our grief, we make art. We are buoyed by it, comforted by it, inspired by it.

This piece, part of the Museum of The City of NY's permanent collection, reminds us to take care of ourselves and each other—the sign, a beacon in the dark, reminds us that we are not alone.
