Art and Activism

Recorded 3:00pm ET | Sunday, September 13th

Throughout the day on September the 13th the collaborative of muralists — Frida Larios, Musah Swallah and Etai Rogers-Fett — will create a masterpiece with local youth at Marie Reed Elementary.  We’ll have an opportunity to discuss and learn from them, in addition to designer and artist Ragda Noah who recently completed the George Floyd temporarily-installed mural on 18th St, about their art, process, engagement with communities, and using their heritage and iconographies in art as tools for activism in advocating for diversity and social justice. Connect with them to hear their stories and ask your own questions!

The collaborative recently created the mural at El Tamarindo K’AL Raise Up nearby at 1785 Florida Ave. NW—painted as a tribute and host of a vigil to Vanessa Guillen. Checkout a livestream feed from their experience creating at El Tamarindo.
