@menanceresa Artist. A black woman representing Lady Liberty is blinded by money & gagged w the American flag, her hands shackled. In the background are neon signs that say ‘Comply’ & ‘Consume’. Fire burns at the base of buildings with security cameras.
@cbabi Artist. A highly stylized young black woman holds a torch that features the words ‘Born Citizen? Justice denied.’ The flame says ‘Members Only’ in red. She wears the coat of many colors. ‘The state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions on one’s way of life, behavior or mf’n political view’. Genesis 37:3.
@low_key_ki Artist. The word Gaza looms in the background in shades of green & white, sky is red. A faceless child representing Hind Rajab is in the foreground. A faceless journalist wearing blue protective gear spattered w blood holds a camera. 3 people wearing keffiyehs hold automatic weapons. To the right reads ‘Hind Rajab was 5 yo, the Israeli army shot her w 355 bullets after first killing her family. Maryam abu Daqqa was murdered on live TV while reporting on an air strike on a hospital on 8/25/2025 F*ck Israel
@Optek_art Artist. Almost black, smoky background features a closeup of a woman. A ¾ profile of a geisha looking to her right, her deep brown eyes are rimmed with perfect lashes. Her kimono is reddish orange with ornate patterns in white & gold throughout. The decorative hairpins have red flowers to match her kimono, silver beads hang from them. This leads our eye to her silver earrings, her shoulder, her flushed cheeks.
Every Labor Day weekend St. Louis hosts #PaintLouis Artists/muralists can paint on the downtown flood walls which stretch over a mile. Sometime a section may have a theme, this year seems clear. A mash up anger & hope
