Philly Natives Mural
We are excited to announce the 2026 South Tower mural! This year, muralist, educator, and InLiquid member Linda Fernandez will bring the mural titled Philly Natives to life.
Linda Fernandez is a West Philly-based artist and educator whose work features bright colors, designs, and symbols that reflect her Caribbean heritage. She's inspired by the ways in which nature, architecture, and history weave together to tell stories of people and the places they call home. Her work merges themes of identity and home across physical, social and cultural divides by exploring Caribbean heritage through a diasporic lens. Linda has earned a Bachelor’s degree in Art Education from Tyler School of Art, a certificate in Contemporary Art from Metafora Escola de Arte Contemporaneo in Barcelona, Spain, and a Master’s in Public Administration from Austin W. Marxe School of Public and International Affairs. She is an alumnus of the Community Arts Education Leadership Institute, National Urban Fellows, and the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute’s Intercultural Advocacy Fellowship. She has received notable grants, including the Philadelphia Cultural Treasures project grant for Creative Freedom & Experimentation, Art is Essential grant for her work in Cobbs Creek, and Leeway Foundation’s Art & Change grant.
