Community Canvas is an initiative presented by The Culture Show where GBH features artwork from community members on our Digital Mural.
Today’s mural features a photograph by Jaypix Belmer. The portrait of Nubian Square Vendor for 30 years “Lucky” represents the vibrant cultures many families of Boston belong to. Locals are outstanding in Boston’s vibrant community from Roxbury to Upham’s Corner. This photography series serves to show the greatness of the people, places, and things that are integral to the community within Dorchester.
“While building a New Boston, let’s always remember and incorporate the unconsidered and even the undiscovered people and places in the neighborhood that represent the past, present, and future,” Belmer says.
Belmer identifies as a non-binary Black, Indigenous person of color. Born and raised in Boston, they are a graduate of the New England Art Institute with a B.A. in photography and have worked with clients in both private and commercial industries.
