As a beacon of self-acceptance and love, Jacen’s mission was to bring a mural to fruition—one that marks the vibrant 30-year Ballroom culture, a mirror of Philly’s past, present, and future. Thanks to the countless collaborators, including project manager Asa (@Asa_Hndrx), that dream is now getting painted!
The artist behind the mural’s design is none other than the award-winning Nilé Livingston (@NileLivingston). Hailing from a long line of Philadelphians, Nilé is known for her grand-scale artworks, her vibrant use of color, and elevating ordinary people to iconic statuses. She’s no stranger to creating murals that magnify the spirit of Philadelphia, turning the city into the Mural Capital of the World.
This amazing mural has been a labor of love, filled with the dedication of multiple artists, organizers, and supporters. Over the next few months, Streets Department, in collaboration with Mural Arts, Jacen, Nile, Asa, and others will be shedding light upon who and what the mural represents and the magic behind its creation.
