WINDOW JULY WINDOW ARTIST: KAH YANGNI Kah Yangni - artist statement: June, and the wake of the killing of George Floyd, was crushing. I knew I wanted to do something that would be like a message in a bottle to anyone black or brown who passed the mural, to lift them at a time that was really dark. I made this mural to lift the people that pass this intersection day to day. The lyrics are from the Solange song, "Interlude: I Got So Much Magic, You Can Have It" from her 2016 album "A Seat At The Table." The full lyrics are: you did it from the get go, get go, get go / let’s go, let’s go, let’s go / look for magic, ye-ah / they not gonna get it from the get go, get go, get go / don’t let, don’t let, don’t let / anybody steal your magic, ye-ah / But I got so much, y’all / you can have it, ye-ah - Solange, 2016 Kah Yangni is an artist making illustrations, prints, and murals in Philadelphia, PA.
