Ndeko STREET Art BOOM BOX 
Ndeko Street Art BOOM BOX Locations
Eric Ndeko brings art to the streets with a BOOM BOX inspired theme. This installation amplifies the voices of the artists making art accessible to passers by, much like a BOOM BOX blasting from someone’s shoulder circa early 1980s.
Ndeko explores this amplification with three distinct components:
Chalk Art by Yelyzaveta Zatirka
Local artists activate parking spaces and street space with intricate chalk art murals. Artists have been given a 4ft x 4ft box and have been invited to color inside the box using “out of the box” creativity. Make your mark with public Street Art Boxes scattered up and down Commonwealth Avenue.
Schedule: Sunday 1 – 5pm

About Me: I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA, and now live in Charlotte. I would describe my art as more or less social commentary with a bit of juxtaposition between popular culture and the function/subsequent effect it has on society with added religious, historical, and cultural elements.

About Me: I’m passionate about art and believe that it has saved my life a few times. I consider myself to be a person who is constantly guided by my spirit, acting in all aspects of my life from love to decisions to opportunities. I am both a visual artist and jewelry maker, crafting rings and necklaces using healing crystals. My future goals include owning an art studio and a vegan deli/gallery that would help spread awareness of the vegan lifestyle. I also want to utilize wall space for local artists to display their work. I am still evolving but I’m proud of the journey!
