From the ❤️: “good trouble” imagery, Rhythm of the Boulevard. Indeed, there is a morning rhythm on Sacramento’s Del Paso Boulevard where Liv Losee-Unger’s “Rhythm of the Boulevard” mural is found @ORLUarts and @exhibit_red, @art.ekg. The mural is part of the Community Murals Sacramento (CMS) project, an innovative pilot program funded by the City of Sacramento. The project is designed to elevate the voices of neighborhoods across each of Sacramento’s 8 districts.
The city’s light rail passes in front of the mural, too early for any Saturday morning passengers. There is a barber shop in the building where the mural is located, open for early morning haircuts. The barber walks a client out to his car and asks me what I think of the mural. “Excellent,”I responded with a thumbs up. “Yes, it is,” he gives me in return. Across the boulevard there is a senior out for his morning walk.
Daniel is 78 years old, retired for 14 years and lives in the neighborhood. He worked in construction. Daniel feels that the mural says something about his community, art, culture and diversity. There are a number of murals on Del Paso Boulevard, but this is Daniel’s favorite. Here, you’ll find “the Rhythm of the Boulevard.” Kudos to all! “Sooner or later we all discover that kindness is the only strength there is,” Father Greg Boyle.
