Monuments: Our Immigrant Mothers


by Yehimi Cambron
1
302 E Howard Ave

Yehimi, 2019 recipient of our Laura Patricia Calle Grant, created this
mural to honor the strength and diversity of women in our immigrant
communities. The mural is marked by her signature combination of
immigrant portraiture and the migrating monarch butterfly.

Yehimi Cambrón is an artist, activist, and public speaker born in


Michoacán, México and raised in Atlanta. Cambrón’s artwork focuses
on celebrating the contributions and resilience of immigrants.

Femme Imparables

211 E Trinity Pl

The mural features a character painted in KASHINK’s recognizable


style—a mask-like face surrounded by flowing black hair. KASHINK
says her paintings are a form of self-portraiture, but invites viewers
to offer their own perspectives.

KASHINK's work questions aesthetic codes and the definition of


identity. Since 2013, she’s been wearing a pencil-on mustache as her
daily makeup. She considers it a statement as well as a sociological
experiment, creating random conversations with strangers about
beauty, gender, norms, and freedom.

Earthseed

113 East Court Sq

This work was inspired by the artist’s recent reading of Octavia


Butler’s Parable duology. In this mural, humanity has built a colony
among the stars. The colony orbits an immense tree that facilitates
life in a huge hyper-futuristic city.

Timothy Short was born and raised in Columbus, Georgia, and moved
to Atlanta in order to attend Georgia State and pursue art in 2011.
Tim constructs imaginative narrative spaces always centering on the
Black figure. These stories are meant to venerate the everyday people
close to him, often chosen as models for his work, using cosmological
and celestial imagery.
