SUMMARY:Njideka Akunyili Crosby’s The Beautyful Ones Mural Dedication
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 4 | 12–4 pm | 5547 Chester Ave\, Philadelphia \nJoin us for a massive afternoon block party\, celebrating Njideka Akunyili Crosby’s new mural in the heart of the city’s Africatown neighborhood. Mural Arts and the Philadelphia Museum of Art have collaborated to bring the internationally renowned artist to Philadelphia to recreate her artwork\, The Beautyful Ones Series #1c\, as her first permanent public art installation. \nIn her methodically layered compositions\, Crosby combines painted depictions of people\, places\, and subjects from her life with photographic transfers derived from her personal image archive\, Nigerian magazines\, and other mass media sources. The resulting works are visual tapestries that bring to life the personal and social dimensions of contemporary life while powerfully expressing the complexities of African diasporic identity. \nThis Saturday afternoon event is open to the public\, with free water ice and refreshments\, live African dance and drum performances\, spirited DJ sets\, and Henna painting\, tote bag airbrushing\, and other art activations.
