It is a very different theme from the one that developed in New Orleans also during the summer of , when the pandemic was not even a dystopian suspicion. He immortalized the great Louis Armstrong, one of the greatest legends in jazz history and son of the city that bathes the Mississippi. The Kobra mural was created precisely to commemorate Armstrong in the neighborhood where jazz emerged and flourished.
Kobra presented in September his tribute to the firefighters of New York, within the context of the 17th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. The piece is part of a more ambitious project integrated by 28 other murals spread throughout the city. The prolific Brazilian graffiti artist Eduardo Kobra became world-famous during the Olympic Games celebrated in his country in He created a large mural in Rio de Janeiro that became one of the great icons of the city and of the sporting event itself.
The Guinness Book of Records considered it the largest graffiti in the world. Since that huge wall was not enough, he decided to also use the other walls of the building. The graffiti represents a young Amazon native rowing a cocoa-laden canoe, in the middle of a river of chocolate. Once again he gained favor with the Guiness Book of Records.
The art world, however, has other demands when buildings are used instead of canvases. When the chocolate company Cacau Show placed the order, Kobra prepared a dozen sketches, all based on scenes from the Amazonian regions rich in cocoa. After painting a mural las Summer dedicated to Michael Jackson in the East Village of the Big Apple, Kobra created a 3-story image representing the opposing facial profiles of Mother Theresa and Mahatma Gandhi, in a tribute to their peace role in the world, according to its author.
The limited record before us indicates that the children's father consented to the proposed name changes and that nobody objected to the changes.
Petitioner's applications were denied without an evidentiary hearing. In its supporting decision, the court commented that, although petitioner had justified the proposed name changes as being consistent with Bangladeshi custom, the proposed name changes were inconsistent with American social customs and accepted practices because the children's surnames would not match either parent's surname or each other's surnames.
The petitions were dismissed upon a finding that the proposed name changes were not in the best interests of petitioner's children.
As an application to change the name of a minor may not be denied without a hearing see Matter of Altheim, 12 AD3d []; Matter of John Phillip M. We note that an objection to a proposed name change for a child "must relate to the child's best interests or bear on the parent's relationship with the child" see Matter of John Phillip M. To the extent that, by its order, the Civil Court sought to limit petitioner's right to petition in the future to change her children's names, we note that the court exceeded its authority, which was only to determine the name change petitions that were pending before it.
Accordingly, the order, insofar as appealed from, is reversed, the petitions are reinstated, and the matters are remitted to the Civil Court for a hearing on the record.
Weston, J. While I concur with the majority's determination to grant leave to appeal and to consolidate the two appeals, and in its finding that the Civil Court erroneously denied the petitions without a hearing, I would not remit the matter for a hearing.
In my opinion, petitioner's submissions are sufficient to warrant the granting of her request to change her daughters' names. As the majority correctly concludes, a petition to change the name of a minor may not be denied without a hearing see Matter of Altheim, 12 AD3d , []. Here, the Civil Court not only denied the petitions without a hearing, but made factual findings and credibility determinations in the absence of such a hearing.
Since such factual findings were not based upon a proper record see CPLR [b] , I, like the majority, decline to affirm. The stars represent all the lives that were lost in the tragedy—which left nearly 3, dead. Lastly, the colors have one goal: To pass on a message of life, of a restart, of reconstruction.
Kobra is currently on target to paint 15 total murals across the city by the end of October. More info on the ongoing project can be found at kobranyc. About us. Contact us. Written by Will Gleason Tuesday September 11
