Woodstock’s street art is world-class. Meet local artist Rashied as he guides you through the streets, telling the story of Woodstock’s art for the last time, just days before tragically passing away in a fire.
His passion for the area spans a lifetime, and his inspirational community-building work with both tourists and locals tenaciously conveys what it means to have a big heart in a rapidly changing area.
And the script from one of Rashied’s audio tracks:
While walking, I would like to tell you what I’m doing is not for fame or for getting rich. I am doing it out of love for my community and to leave a legacy behind for my children. One day so that they can say ‘my daddy done this for the community of this area.’ Because money can be made but you can’t buy love for your community and, you know. We, as people, we’re just human. We’re here today, tomorrow we’re gone. Everything just stays behind. It’s better to leave a legacy behind, that one day you can say,’ this person has done something for this community.’
