Photos: Percy Street Petal Procession
A petal procession is most often seen at a wedding or ceremony of love. 2021 Mural Arts Philadelphia Fellow for Black Artists Lindsay Bedford created a visually exaggerated Petal Procession on 1300 Block of South Percy Street to guide the movement of those looking to commemorate love. The community gathered for a block party on Saturday, April 30th, for the mural dedication. This is the first mural for Lindsay with Mural Arts Philadelphia following her work in the Fellowship. It is the perfect addition to capture the city’s “Brotherly Love.”
Bedford’s passion for tapping into the power of design fuels her desire to create an opportunity to spark change in our communities and society. This mural is just the beginning.
