Over the decades, the city of Detroit gained an identity of being a dangerous place where beautiful things did not happen.
One of those people making a statement through art is Sydney James.
Sydney is a visual artist, painter and muralist and co-founder of BLCKOUT Walls.
The free block party is a celebration of Detroit and the powerful impact art can have on culture.
The Metro’s Tia Graham spoke with Sydney James about BLCKOUT Walls and the economic power of creatives in Detroit.
