Maxx Moses reclaims Black Friday to celebrate Black life, artistry and economics
Maxx Moses is an artist who lives to create, and he likes to work on the largest canvases he can find. That's what led him to create Graffiti Gardens in Encanto.
San Diego's flooding left art and culture spaces in ruins
Flood and mud damage is shown on Thursday, Jan. 25, 2024 at artist Maxx Moses' Graffiti Gardens space in Southeast San Diego. Moses said the murals appear to be undamaged, but the surrounding garden space will need a lot of work to rebuild.
[Monday's] devastating flooding impacted many arts and culture spaces, organizations, artists and performers throughout the region.
One area hit hard by the floods is Southeast San Diego, which includes the recently designated San Diego Black Arts and Culture District. Organizers were planning Black History Month events at the Jacobs Center, which flooded and is closed until further notice, but other arts spaces are also majorly impacted.
