Art to Go-Go operates as a living campaign, where strategy and illustration intersect to move culture forward. By embedding history into transportable design, each activation builds visibility, continuity, and collective memory within the public space.
Art 2 GoGo
CAMPAIGN STRATEGYA VISUAL TRIBUTE TO LAND, LEGACY, AND LIBERATION.
Created as a Juneteenth initiative, this piece honors the layered history of Anacostia through visual storytelling. The house in the background references the historic home of Frederick Douglass, while the central figure represents an Indigenous woman of the Nacotchtank—the original people of the land. Together, the composition bridges Black liberation and Indigenous presence, using illustration to acknowledge ancestry, resistance, and the stories rooted in place.
ART TO GO-GO COMMISSION
Jazz, Legacy & Cultural Memory
Commissioned by Art to Go-Go and now permanently on display at Fuddruckers Chinatown in Washington, DC, this piece celebrates the enduring relationship between music, community, and cultural inheritance.
Inspired by the legacy of jazz and the performance traditions that shaped Black American culture, the composition reflects my own family's connection to music, storytelling, and creative expression. With a lineage that includes musicians, arrangers, and cultural contributors, I wanted to honor the artists whose work helped shape the soundtrack of generations.
The singer and pianist represent more than performers—they symbolize dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation. Warm gold tones, movement, and rhythm-filled textures evoke the energy of live performance while paying tribute to the resilience, joy, and artistic excellence found throughout the African American musical experience.
As a public artwork, the piece serves as both a celebration of Washington's rich musical heritage and a personal reflection on the power of art to preserve memory, inspire connection, and keep cultural stories alive.
