Black Artists Revitalize the Streets of Detroit With a Colorful Mural Festival

The City of Detroit’s North End just got a whole lot more colorful. And that’s all thanks to BLKOUT Walls—a mural festival led by Black artists—which launched its inaugural event back in July. Taking place over the course of a week, the festival brought a diverse group of local and visiting artists to work their magic on Detroit’s city streets. Now that all is said and done, more than 20 new murals grace the walls around the North End area, beautifying underutilized spaces throughout the neighborhood. These artworks bring with them the hopes that they will reinvigorate the district and “be the seed of an arts-based economic development, or creative economy” within the community.

The #murals of Rob Gibbs have brought a dignity to the city by reconnecting politics and empathy to public art. But while the accolades of his work include words like “powerful,” “intimate” and concepts of anger, pain and healing, for me I also deeply appreciate how he always – ALWAYS – includes grouches of humor. Many of us hold stories of survival within us. The power to persevere is a process of forgiveness, patience, and perseverance, among other qualities. And one of the “other qualities” is laughter. The power of comedy to help us heal is often overlooked or misused. I think, within his murals, Mr. Gibbs always applies whimsy it masterfully. Humans find things funny from a distance. When we have space, and look upon something from far away – whether distant in s time or literal space – it becomes more humorous. When you see someone trip from across the street it is silly, even though when it is next to us we feel concern. When we think of our past we often laugh at our own absurdity, even though it might have been Excutive in while we lived the melodrama. Distance helps us find humor. This fact of humor also works in reverse. When things are framed with a touch of satire of slapstick, our mind steps back a little. This distance is useful for more than evoking a few grins; it also opens up space to heal, to learn, and to analyze with fresh eyes. This is why @problak’s application of humor is so precious. Yes there is struggle and pain and conflict in his work. But it’s this humor that brings the challenge and charm of his pieces alive. ▫️ #madisonpark #problak #muralsforthemovement #roxbury #roxburyrenaissance #graffiti #murals #muralist #urbanart #boston #akaXN #TheRealXN (at Madison Park Technical Vocational High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMaN39tjpfQ/?igshid=4pxo697tcbe5

Graffiti In Grove Hall!

Grove Hall has a bold new mural! On a sunny spring Saturday the Geneva Ave Lot was brought to life as graffiti artists collaborated to paint the walls of Moses Auto Body. At BACK AGAINST THE WALL, a celebration of Graffiti in all forms, community members of all ages assembled to watch the paintings unfold. Vendors provided music, refreshments, and art making activities. 

Stop by to see this new Community Mural  - 48 Geneva Avenue, across from the Grove Hall Public Library. 

Shout out to the featured artists - SOBEK • TENSE • APEKS • PROBLAK • SOEM • DEME5 • VEX • KWEST and others who painted.

As movements for racial justice have rocked the country, murals have become a striking part of the protest – and healing – process. Our culture writer talked to five street artists to understand what’s prompting the revival of this political art form.

Launched in Detroit This Summer, A Black-Led Mural Festival Wants to Revitalize Neighborhoods with Public Art

Murals have long been associated with placemaking because of their unparalleled ability to transform underutilized corridors and city stretches into spaces primed for cultural gatherings, tourism, and subsequently, economic growth. This revitalizing potential is what drives a biannual festival that launched in Detroit earlier this summer as it dramatically altered the urban landscape of the city’s central North End neighborhood.

Excellent start to my summer, and total reminder of why taking breaks from work is so important. With that said, I took little moments to test out the #google pixel camera on my note 8. The dark shots and the red interior shot were all taken with nightlight mode, and I'll use Instagram stories to show you the differences. Shoutout to my queen, and wife to be, @b00kofsamuel for amplifying my happiness. And shoutout to @sourcedumal @fitflyflournoy @nomadicmimi @elgiulius @pro_kesadia @problak @prezz92 @djqphoto @znewirth and anyone else I missed for helping make these past few weeks amazing. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzLunpbHEXM/?igshid=w3l8p9h4tqdg
