PUBLIC MURALS
Speedway CorRIDOR MURAL PROJECT
My first public mural project!
Created in collaboration with Alley Cat Murals and the University of Arizona Poetry Center, this project brought together 6 Tucson artists to paint murals along Speedway Blvd near the UofA—each inspired by a local poet. I chose T.C. Tolbert, a poet I deeply admire not just for his writing, but for his work building safer, inclusive spaces in the trades for Women, Queer, Trans and Femme of Center people through initiatives like BOSS (@buildingout) and The Outlaw Project (@theoutlawproject1).
My mural is a tribute to mobility justice and people-powered movement—walking, biking, skating, rolling in all the ways. I painted it beside a busy sidewalk and bike path, watching the very community I hoped to uplift pass by. It envisions a city where streets are safe and accessible for all, regardless of income, race or housing status.
T.C.’s quote, “a human in love with humans doing human things,” captures the heart of this mural. It’s a celebration of connection, resilience and reimagining what our shared spaces can look like when safety and access belong to everyone.
IT’S A VISION OF HOW THE CITYSCAPE CAN LOOK WHEN EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO SAFER SPACES AND MOBILITY. I HOPE THE MURAL INSPIRES INTERCONNECTION AND A PRACTICE OF ENVISIONING SAFER PUBLIC SPACES.
SYMBOLISM IN THE MURAL:
People -Reflecting diverse of mobility and normalizing car-free, people-first streets.
Our Streets - Advocating for equitable, safer infrastructure through the lens of Complete Streets.
Kite tattoo - Honoring Made for Flight, T.C.’s youth empowerment project memorializing trans lives.
Birds - A nod to T.C.’s poetry—freedom, perspective, hope.
Poppies - Painted in spring bloom—symbolizing peace and solidarity with Palestine.
Location: North side of Speedway near Warren Ave, next to a bus stop (Bus Route #4). All murals are located between Park Ave and Campbell Ave, along the University of Arizona corridor.
Transit Hub: A unique convergence of tram, buses, bikes, skaters, and walkers—all moving through one of the busiest intersections in Tucson.
