Mission “Tropicalizada” by Calo Rosa – Artist Statement
Since the first encounters of European civilization with the tropics, their fascination with the flora and fauna of the “New World” grew quickly in to a desire to own it.
They tried to “civilize” life in the tropics, implementing by force a Eurocentric way of living. An example: The Manaus Opera House, a theater built in the middle of the Amazon, home to the Amazon Philharmonic Orchestra.
This mural depicts classic European ideals of beauty taken over by plants—the
tropics de-colonizing a decaying Eurocentric way of life. An ode to natural beauty overcoming oppression.

Mural at Feltonville recreation center, "Blossoming diversity" a project with the Restorative justice program of @muralarts Philadelphia.
Flora, in her natural environment, blooms gracefully and peacefully, but when moved to a different one, needs more energy and effort to flourish. She may not bloom as many times, but does so with pride and honor.
Blossoming Diversity represents this diverse neighborhood, where unique life stories can come together to create positive change. Like flowers from different environments around the world, we can all bloom together as a community, and in doing so create stronger roots for future --------------------------- Blossoming Diversity was funded by the City of Philadelphia and the Lenfest Foundation. Partners include Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and the Philadelphia Department of Prisons.
Located on the B Street Bridge between Gurney and Tusculum Streets, this project mixes bright colors, floral patterns, and geometric shapes to make the bridge a bright passageway. completed by Rosa, assisted by Miguel Manzur and Russell Craig, with the help of Mural Arts Restorative Justice Program Guild members! Paint adds color to the Bridge and provides a bright spot in the community. A project of Mural Arts, the City of Philadelphia, HACE, and Impact Services.
