Tree of Life, Taino Emojis and Campesino
Tree of Life, Taino Emojis and Campesino by artists DanOne, Taina Sisters and Calo Rosa provide a welcome to the Norris Square neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Designed as a temporary mural
Neighborhood Portraits Norris Square is a community arts project grounded on the celebration of the legacy and essence of the neighborhood. Now more than ever, it is critical to honor culture, community voices and their power, memorializing what has made Norris Square the wonderful community it is today.
The project began in 2020 as a way to celebrate and uplift local artists around the Norris Square Neighborhood. The project resulted in a short mural walking tour in a neighborhood that is home to a number of murals. The artists worked together at this key wall at Front Street and Susquehanna Avenue on this design. This wall, formerly a space for graffiti writers, serves as an entry way into the neighborhood. The wall features an image of a campesino at its center, surrounded by Taino dieties. It was designed through a collaborative process with local youth who were part of a neighborhood summer program in 2020.
