The Roots Mural Project: Fourth Friday at 641 with Tatyana Fazlalizadeh
Friday, April 27
6 – 8 p.m.
327 South Street
Join visual artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh, one of the muralists on The Roots Mural Project, for a curated exhibition of her work at our new space in the South Street Headhouse District. Fazlalizadeh uses oil on canvas to bring depth to thought-provoking portraits of those who live in the margins of society–the underrepresented, disenfranchised–and others who cannot speak for their rights. In addition to her Get Angry series and selected works, Fazlalizadeh has developed a series of pop, cultural, and political illustrations of icons like President Barack Obama, Questlove, Janelle Monáe, Kanye West, Zora Neale Hurston, and more.
afroDJiak provides the beats, and we’ll also have food, drink, and an artist meet-and-greet at this fun, FREE event.

Project Information
The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, in partnership with the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services and the Philadelphia Refugee Mental Health Collaborative, is bringing the Philadelphia community together to celebrate the diversity and resilience of Philadelphia’s immigrant population through a new project called Southeast by Southeast.
Through a five-month series of workshops and public art pieces, the community will engage in activities that highlight the cultural diversity of the Bhutanese and Burmese communities. Working with these diverse constituents, Mural Arts invites South Philadelphia residents of all backgrounds to come together to create artwork, share stories, improve their communities, and find common ground.
