Open Skies Parks & Projects

Artist: Moses
Project: Six Beats Deep

ALERT: SIX BEATS DEEP CENSORED BY COMMUNITY GROUP AND CITY AGENCY! CONTACT OR VISIT THE COCA WELCOME CENTER, PANHANDLE, FOR DETAILS.

COCA STANDS UP FOR
ART AS SOCIAL ACTIVISM!

6 Beats Deep is a highly stylized memorial sculpture designed to creatively provide a public focal point where community members may come together to peacefully reflect on issues involving violence, music, youth, gangs, politics, and ultimately -- healing.

Through this brave new project, our hope is to offer a vivid and humanizing catalyst for people to begin new dialogue about a subject that is often controversial or too painful for people to openly discuss. In many ways, 6 Beat Deep pays respect to the deceased while inviting people to explore complex underlying issues surrounding needless violence within our community. 6 Beats Deep is inspired by jazz, hip hop, afro-centric heroes, custom car culture, memorial art, and notably - the fantastic coffin art of Ghana, Africa.

A personalized soundtrack will be audible at moderate levels to add ambience and engage project visitors.

Join Moses, as he creates a compelling community experience to inspire new connectivity, rejuvenation, and positive growth for one of San Francisco’s important historical areas!
