Shepard Fairey’s Uplift Justice Mural Dedication

Internationally renowned street artist Shepard Fairey—famous worldwide for his OBEY Giant imagery and the iconic “Hope” poster for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign—returns to Philadelphia for the first time since 2015 to create and unveil his new mural, Uplift Justice.

This highly anticipated project provides a rare opportunity for the public to experience a new large-scale work by Fairey as part of Mural Arts’ citywide program. Uplift Justice stands as Fairey’s largest and most striking mural in the city to date.

Designed as a powerful call for justice, this mural is strategically positioned in a highly visible location near Love Park, ensuring it is accessible to everyone. As the city prepares to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Uplift Justice embodies themes of hope for the future, reflection on our past, and a collective pursuit of social justice that is truly inclusive for all.
