🎨 adiamillett “Taking Flight” (2023) 📍 Lowell Park, Oakland, CA #takingflightoakland Thank you zendaya kizzithompson and family for bringing this artwork by Adia Millett to life on the newly renovated basketball courts at Lowell Park in Oakland! "This piece is inspired by the idea of communal levitation, lifting each other up, like a child lifts a kite, paper airplane, or a basketball. Traces of those objects, and an ancestral mask lay across the courts surface. The colors and shapes were chosen to evoke expansion, joy and strength!" - Adia Millett A special thank you to alogives for partnering with Project Backboard and Zendaya on the #takingflightoakland event, supporting westoaklandmiddleschool and hosting an early morning community yoga session on the basketball courts. Another special thank you to guitarcentermusicfoundation for providing West Oakland Middle School with instruments and supplies for their music classes and curtains for their auditorium. Thank you thehoop...
