Artist & Activist Christy Rupp was an original member of Colab: the organization responsible for The Times Square Show. With a practice focused on urban ecology, particularly how animal and human ecosystems interact, Rupp’s “Rat” became one of the most iconic images of TSS. Presented here are images of her contributions to TSS.
