In addition, O+ will light a mural at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ulster County recently made by Jalani Lion in memory of Chris Bamba. Plus, O+ has commissioned alumnus Vince Ballentine and high school student Tafari The Artist to paint a mural at 94 Furnace St. this week. That mural will also be illuminated Saturday.

Murals, Music and Meditations

There is music and/or meditation to complement: Bilancia, Know Thyself, Ain’t I a Woman, Años de Soledad, Black Lives Matter, Lifted, Robin X, Secrets of the Wetlands, Survivor Love Letter and Their Survival Is Our Survival.
