Best of Boston

You’re crossing Seaport Boulevard on foot, dodging traffic and lobster-roll tourists when, through some trees, you see two golden…wait, are those giant earrings? Tucked away on the Rose Kennedy Greenway, Ja’Hari Ortega’s Big Hoops to Fill requires a double take. With this interactive installation, the Roxbury artist has transformed iconic bamboo hoops—the “door knocker” earrings that defined ’90s hip-hop style for women—into massive two-seater swings that somehow feel both monumental and intimate. Hop on, pump your legs, and see how this spectacular street-level surrealism centers Black femininity in the most unexpected, joyful way possible.
