We are in Martin Luther King Jr. Park in Pine Bluss, Arkansas. I’ll bring you flowers is a colourful work of urban regeneration by the London-based artist and muralist Lakwena, through which he sends a message of hope and pride urging everyone, despite adversity, towards personal growth and gratitude.

This large-scale work (14 x 25 metres) in Lisbon is a prime example of the style of AkaCorleone, a Portuguese street artist who often plays with bright colours and pure forms, creating original and playful compositions. Balance was produced in collaboration with GAU, the Urban Art Gallery of Lisbon City Council, as part of the municipal public art programme.

Greg Marius Court, better known as Holcombe Rucker Park in Harlem, New York City, is without doubt the most famous and prestigious playground in the world. The EBC Tournament is held here every summer, becoming a media event that attracts the curiosity of the best NBA champions, the most important basketball league in the world. The court has been renovated thanks to the contribution of rapper and Harlem native A$AP Ferg.

“The point is not to be Kobe Bryant, but to become the best Kobe Bryant you can be. The mindset is not about an outcome to be set, but rather the process that leads to that outcome. It is about the path and the approach. It is a way of life. I think it is important to adopt this method in every enterprise.” This is one of the main points of the ‘Mamba Mentality’ that made the beloved American basketball player a legend for all basketball players and enthusiasts. His legacy goes far beyond numerous personal and team titles. That’s why, since his tragic death on 26 January 2020, murals and courts have been appearing in every corner of the world dedicated to him. Thank you Kobe.
