The mural we commissioned with Urban Artworks, in Seattle, is now complete, and we’re stoked to be able to share this thought-provoking piece with the community.
Black artists Perri Rhoden (@thecurlynugget) & AFROSPK (@thekingfroshow) set out to create a visual representation of what #FindYourselfOutside means to them, and we can't take our eyes off the result.
If you live in the Seattle area or will be visiting soon, come by Flo Ware Park and check it out!
We feel there’s no better place to have a conversation about equality and accessibility in the outdoors than in a place where the outdoors and everyday life intersect.
Before they started work the artists both gave us a sneak peak of what inspired them to take on this project. We asked them each what #FindYourselfOutside means to them, and these were their answers.
Perri:
"Find yourself outside is about reconnecting with yourself no matter where you are. Regardless if you live in a rural area or if you live in an apartment above a subway station, finding yourself outside is about reconnecting with your environment and reengaging with yourself."
AFROSPK:
"To me this means having more black people in nature and reconnecting with yourself, more space being created for the black community. We need to normalize seeing black and brown faces outside. We need to make all spaces available to our communities."
