💨 Abstract

Paris unveiled a mural of Josephine Baker, celebrating her legacy as a performer, civil rights activist, and spy. Born in the U.S., she moved to France to escape racism and became a megastar. Baker's son, Brian, attended the unveiling, highlighting her impact and her "rainbow tribe" of adopted children. The mural, part of a community art festival, aims to promote freedom and resistance, with the artist FKDL focusing on bringing women back into the urban landscape.
