Brownsville King of Love" is Marka27's latest mural dedicated to the Brownsville, Brooklyn, NY community in partnership with Artbridge.
The mural is a larger-than-life image of a local Brooklyn youth wearing a gold crown and holding up a custom jean jacket with the message "Spread Love" and several patches and pins representing Brownsville's diverse culture and its notable hip-hop legacy.
A pair of boxing gloves hanging from the youth's neck with Brownsville written on them symbolizes the strength and resilience of Brownsville and its legacy of champion boxers like Mike Tyson, Shannon Briggs, and Riddick Bowe, to name a few.
"Brownsville King of Love" is a call to spread love and honor our ancestors by celebrating our heritage and lifting each other as a community.
