You Already Know! Queen of Bounce!

A spray-painted portrait of New Orleans bounce superstar Big Freedia by Sasha Kopfler in 2017. The expression on the Queen Diva's face is perfectly imperial as she surveys the passing traffic.

Kopfler's eight-foot painting of Big Freedia is part of the ever evolving outdoor art exhibit that wraps the walls of The Art Garage at 2231 St. Claude Avenue. The Art Garage, a former body shop, is the site of an evening art marketplace.

Big Freedia is a rapper and dancer who vaulted to national fame from New Orleans’ bounce scene. Bounce is a distinctly New Orleans mode of hip hop, built on a few repetitive beats and call-and-response chant.
