Transformation Bridge

On the B Street Bridge in Kensington, this new mural from artist Carlos “CALO” Rosa reflects the hopes and traditions of the community, mixing lively colors and shapes with floral patterns to create a bright passageway from Gurney Street to Tusculum Street. The mural is also a metaphor for the connection between past and present, a theme that came up in discussions with local seniors.

Transformation Bridge was painted with the help of the Restorative Justice YVRP Guild and members of the community, and is part of a larger body of work in Kensington. The neighborhood around the bridge has persevered through challenging times with great strength and resilience, driven by a collaborative and empathetic spirit.
