De El Alto a Jalisco | Manhattan Times

Come May, a familiar face will be missing uptown.

Emmanuel Abreu, better known as DJ Boy, has been an omnipresent creative force in Northern Manhattan for years. If you missed him volunteering at Word Up Community Bookstore, collaborating and performing with the People’s Theatre Project, it has still been virtually impossible to overlook his work.

Abreu’s ubiquitous photographs and videos, largely focused on life in Northern Manhattan, have been exhibited, well, everywhere, including in The Manhattan Times. The “Art by DJ Boy” pieces that have documented everything from the stillness of the George Washington Bridge at dawn, to the uniquely colorful uptown streetscapes, to the raucous fireworks displays on Dyckman, have been displayed in local galleries, senior centers, business and offices – and they are continuously curated online.

But now Abreu is going south.
