Keepers of Culture was commissioned in summer 2021 to celebrate the inaugural outing of the BUTTER art fair, presented over Labor Day Weekend by GANGGANG Culture. It shows portraits of eight Indianapolis bearers of Black culture. The artist, Ashley Nora, states that she intended to highlight artists who were the local “stars” of today, as well as international celebrities whose origins lie in Indianapolis, all of whom are both creating Black culture and keeping it going. The mural is painted to achieve a 3D effect if you have access to 3D glasses or a smartphone app that provides the same color screening.
The figures shown in the mural (from left to right) are:
