Seems like as good a day as any to repost this 2017 installation by @nero_one... ☕️"I feel like now is the time to push as much queer, latinx, immigrant, feminist-related content as I can. Like these minority communities—we're not minorities, we're not these tiny communities. *Laughs* Y'know like even calling us minorities—that feels like, Euuhhhhh. Doing street art has been a really positive experience in that sense. I’m very brash with some of my messaging. I can’t help but be aggressive with some shit. I’m trying to be all up in people’s faces—queers, latinx, we’re here and we will not be ignored." Our latest Streets Dept Oral History is out now! This week, we talk with Philly-based street artist @marisa.vr: Read the full post at the link in my bio!@signsofsolidarity was excited to partner with @thesepinklips (who created the ‘Resistez’ banner) to paint and drop signs for the second year in a row at the @beardedladiescabaret’s Bastille Day performance at @easternstate... Special thanks to my Signs of Solidarity co-organizers @xoaubriecostello and @ericpreisendanz and to everyone who came out to this final show!Have y’all checked out our latest Streets Dept Oral History post? In it we hear from Philly-based street artist and muralist, @ndastreetart: “I mean without it, I’d probably kill myself, I don’t know. *Laughing* Not to be dark or anything… I would be super depressed without it. That’s number one. It’s my sense of worth. You get to pick a thing, and I’ve chosen this as my life, y’know, my goals going forward are creative. I don’t know what I would do otherwise.” Read the full post now at the link in my bio!New @wrdsmth wheatpaste in #WestPhilly, located at 53rd and Warren streets! ❤️ (Photo by Streets Dept Contributor @ericinphilly)"One of my earliest memories was throwing my leg over the hallway banister of my childhood home and pretending I was riding gleefully on the back of a motorcycle while holding on to Aladin’s waist. Yes that Aladin, the cartoon character from the 1992 Disney film..." SO excited to be asked by @zoe.rayn to write an essay for the second issue of @caldera.magazine about how I think growing up gay ultimately had an effect on my life/career path... Hope y'all will give it a read – link in my bio! (Special thanks to photographer/ filmmaker @ryanscottfilms for lighting my parents’ hallway to get this shot!)Using an X-Acto knife and painted canvas, Philly sticker artist @sixteencats_ is slicing out a cat-shaped niche for herself... Come read our interview with her now on the blog – link in bio! (Interview and photo by Streets Dept Contributor @ericinphilly)Join me for July’s guided walking tour of Philly’s #Fairmount neighborhood: Learn more and get your tickets now at the link in my bio! (Mural in photo by artists Dietrich Adonis, Carlos Vasquez, and Glenn Hill!)Love these enchanting new wheatpastes around Philly from @harleqvin_studio: “Each piece in the series is my representation of different spirits connected to what I think of as quintessential aspects of Philly…” Read more about the series now on the blog, link in bio!“I started writing Shoba because that’s my mother’s name. She passed away—damn—five years ago, now. I feel like writing her name keeps her with me, y’know? Anywhere in the city, I could be in the darkest, ugliest place in the city and I’ll have that comfort, that she’s spiritually there with me.” Have y’all checked out our new oral histories project yet? Over the next 20 weeks, Streets Dept Contributor Phillip Reid will be collecting and sharing the stories of a mix of 20 Philly street artists, graffiti writers, muralists, and public arts leaders all working to shape and create the art and work we see in Philadelphia’s public spaces... Read our first interview with Philly graffiti writer Shoba now at the link in my bio!
