George Floyd Memorial Mural
Cultivating Peace through Community Art
Designed by Anna Katrina.
Implemented as a mural team with Kenny McBride.
In the wake of George Floyd's funeral we volunteered to paint his memorial on the plywood installed at a local business, Verde Salon. Within 24 hours the mural was vandalized, prompting us to immediately repaint and graffiti protect it. Thanks to the community we were able to identify the vandal, who was arrested, charged with vandalism, and voluntarily exiled from Long Beach.
Phoenix Rising - RA Life Defense
RA Life Defense at the School of Urban Self Defense
Concept by Anna Katrina.
Implemented as a mural team with Kenny McBride.
We first met Professor Zahalea @ra_life_defense while painting the George Floyd mural at Verde Salon, when she asked us about painting a plywood mural on her business, the Urban School of Self Defense.
Tragically, this family owned business succumbed to the flames of the riots that fateful Sunday night on May 31st, 2020. Yet from the ashes, Zahalea has risen like a Phoenix. She has since started a new dojo, and continues to rise stronger than ever.
